Clanker: Reboot.
2 years ago (almost to the day), Clanker was born over on the original Farcaster app. The idea was simple: Make it possible for anyone to launch a token just by posting on the timeline and tagging @clanker_world.
The timing was right, and it caught on like wildfire. Suddenly, even people who never thought they’d launch a token were trying it out in the feed. (I even clanked my first meme token on day 1 to see how it all worked. If you search hard, you can probably find it.)
Over the ensuing year, Clanker went on a genny run, expanding from Fc to the X feed and becoming the highest volume launchpad on @base by far, birthing some of the most iconic tokens & token communities of that era, including BNKR, DRB, FAIR & more.
So many builders on Farcaster & beyond turned to Clanker to bootstrap their ideas & find their first 1,000 true fans. Legends like @0FJAKE, @AtownBrown, @david_tomu and @darkohh clanked tokens for their projects. Some, like @MLeeJr, even took it upon themselves to clank tokens for OTHER people’s projects.
And when @netnose and I decided to build a gacha app for creator discovery, we clanked our native token on day one too.
There’s just always been something fundamentally OP about clanking tokens right in the feed. Social graph integration remains undefeated in the attention economy.
But despite all this pedigree & lore, Clanker has had… a rough time lately, to say the least. Between early founder drama, the sale to Farcaster and the eventual handoff to Neynar, Clanker’s been like a teenager who hasn’t been allowed to finish a full year at the same school. How can you even make friends like that?
Hopefully, that all changes today.
Clanker is in good hands now with @masknetwork (stewards of Firefly and Lens Protocol), and they’ve partnered with one of the best engineering teams in the space to give Clanker a much-needed Reboot. More on that soon, but in the meantime…
I’m excited to announce that I’ve accepted the role of Clanker CEO and will be taking on the challenge of guiding our beloved tokenbot back to its former glory.
Transparently, this wasn’t a decision I took lightly. I’ve been self-employed since I was 17, and always preferred to work on things I founded myself. But Clanker has held a very special place in my heart since day 1, and I feel like the little guy’s been a victim of circumstance for much of the past 18 months. He deserves a second chance at romance, and I’m honored to be the one to lead the charge.
I’m also grateful to everyone who helped make Clanker what it is today. To Proxy and Jack for the founder energy, to Base and Farcaster for backing the ecosystem, to communities like DRB and Bankr for keeping it alive, and to @ProfWerder & @age_shulman for their stewardship too. The fact that this little tokenbot has survived all these seasons is crazy in its own right. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
Much more to come from me soon, but here are my main priorities to start:
- Reboot and refresh the Clanker brand without losing its special je ne sais quoi.
- Work with our socials guru @stanisloou to keep comms fresh and clean.
- Work with our engineering team to bring clanker features up to parity with modern launchpads (stock pairs, new chains and even day one support for _______)
- Rebuild the trust that has been lost with both builders & trenchers through all these transitions.
- Show up for OG communities who are still here building and shipping two years later.
- Bring new launch energy back to Clanker & back to the feed, where distribution is built-in by default.
So if you’re looking to launch a funny meme, a clever stock pair, or an app coin to bootstrap your project, I want to help you succeed.
Same goes if you’re a builder with an idea to build on top of clanker protocol; the energy here has always been collaborative and that won’t change.
My DMs are open and we can win together.
Let’s press REBOOT and run it back turbo.
Clank Clank!

Have to hand it to the writers of the simulation though… They had everyone believing that LAPTOP was going to be a black swan event, but then it turns out it was a different laptop, 6 months later.

Ct talking about "7 fig hell" again, here is a sobering point of view that will bring people back to reality on this topic
If you had a NW of $3m and lost it, here is how long it would take you to earn it back via a salary:
$100k -> 46 years
$250k -> 26 years
$500k -> 13 years
$1M -> 6.5 years
so if you lost everything and then landed a comfy gig for 500k/yr it would STILL take you 13 years to get back to the $3m mark
put some respect on your NW no matter what level you are at. It is very hard to make it back if you lose it
bullish on inverse dream thesis
For everyone asking, here is my full $mrna dream thesis. all was recorded on the next YT vid but for u twitter folk
The dates could be off but around these days
October 4th: I wanted to speed up my stock video challenge so decided to dip my toes into options, scrolling thru my port everyone was turbo bullish on every stock except one. $MRNA, everyone and their mother could only talk about how over valued it is and how good of a short it was. All I know in stocks is that ppl complain non stop about how they got fucked. It sounds like everyone loses, and if everyone is losing, I should just fade them and it’s a lock?
Oct 5th: I decided to buy some options, far out the money decently far out strike
That night I had a dream that Moderna cured cancer and wicked to $275 in one day, my portfolio was worth $11,000,000
October 6th: they didn’t cure cancer and the stock went down so i decided to load more in
October 8th: everyone on twitter called me the biggest idiot ever, that I should go short, this gave me turbo confidence that the stock had to go up cuz again, most ppl talk like geniuses behind their -80% all time port
At this point I’m in for $250,000 on my initial 50k position
Then I started asking Claude, “what would it take to get $MRNA to $275 in the next two months????”
Claude told me that they had a big catalyst coming some meeting on the 24th reviewing their cancer trials
I figured I’d bet on the side of my dream that they would cure cancer and it would rip
Fast forward 14 days or so and the stock had ripped like 25+% all the way to my initial dreams target and it made me think, everyone knows this meeting is coming, if this news comes in anything other than 10x expectations, it’s fully priced in. The idea was that Monday it would dump regardless of how good their news was. Claude confirmed my idea. I texted my homie Tuesday night the plan to let it ride till Friday then at close flip to full port short
Everything was according to plan until Wednesday close the stock ran up 5% then fell off a cliff last 10 mins. I was working so I couldn’t do anything but I texted my friend that was the top yesterday night.
Last night I had a dream that $mrna ripped +22% today
I thought it was a sign from God that I was wrong about the top being in and that I should trust my original swap end of market on Friday plan
I checked my phone and it was giga down. My port down 200k almost had me fully in a panic, thinking, maybe the sell on the news was so obvious…. That they are selling days before the news
I got too scared that the dump would happen so soon that I’d have no capital left to flip the port short come Friday. So I decided to take the loss and at least have $500k that I can try to catch the sell on the news dump.
Went full port short under the guise that even if today is another 5% green, at least I’ll be in the position I had been seeking for a few days, confidently short going into the 24th
And the rest, is some giga stroke of luck history, the news broke early somehow????
The most likely outcome for all traders would be what I was destined for. Rock solid thesis blown up by some unlucky bs.
Lucky my panic this morning got to my head enough to break my original game plan
In hindsight, this entire saga was beyond obvious
Thanks for playing!
NOT FINANCIAL ADVISE. IM JUST LEARNING AND GAMBLING. BUT ALSO PUT SUM RESPECT ON THE THESIS.
I got full receipts of every concept along the way, to be posted in the next yt vid. (After I full port SPY 0DTE

From listening to the Discord voice chat, the team has had some community feedback and they are listening. In fact, some of the things the team said made me more bullish.
There is going to be heavy vesting (3 years) on team supply regardless of the % and the team is in it for the long haul. So I'm easy going. Full confidence in the team anyway.
One good point @authenticexit made is that usually a company starts with 100% equity and slowly gives it away when fundraising. Surplus started with hardly anything from a community token.
I think if we want to start seeing Surplus hitting the next stage of growth this will be an important step. I'm talking OpenRouter levels of token usage.
Currently Surplus is doing 2.5% of the token usage of OpenRouter which is valued at around $7.5b. So as you can see, the market opportunity is HUGE.
Expecting big things...

I picked up some $CHOP 300K MC here. Looks interesting, i see it as $PEAS of Rh.
-It’s a volatility-farming protocol built on the @PeapodsFinance model.
-You wrap any asset into a “log” token. When price swings open a gap between the log and its backing, arbitrageurs close it by wrapping, unwrapping, or trading, and they pay fees.
-also interesting flywheel, 15% of those fees burn log tokens (which raises the backing value), and the rest buy back $CHOP, 20% of that gets burned and 80% goes to farmers who stake.

The Bankr LLM Gateway now passes routing savings from @AskSurplus to you.
Same models, same API. When we find a cheaper route on Surplus, you pay less, and your usage page shows what you saved.

i’ve claimed the fees that were already routed to my wallet. i’m planning to use them to support field atlas development (tools, infrastructure, and research).
to align with the community, i’ve also used a portion of the fees for a buyback: basescan.org/tx/0xd94dfd52ca…

We create curated markets for & celebrate the core of what makes crypto so unique: devs.
We built a new flywheel where nominated devs receive share of LP fees, while the rest of fees keep buying $DEVS back, daily.

To further emphasize why we think the current protocol token model is broken, we've studied countless launchpads that have a token, many of these launchpad tokens have large bundles and end up selling.
There's many 7, 8 figure launchpad tokens that just max extract on SOL, RH, and even HyperEVM. An even worse example of extraction would be Arc. Their primary runners when they launched their chain were 3 launchpad tokens which extracted millions through bundle selling, and further, 3 dog coins PVPing liquidity!
We don't want to fragment liquidity, we'd rather make sure our ecosystem grows. If you're a serious project, you shouldn't have to worry about PVPing liquidity against the launchpad's token you launch on. Even as a trader, these PVP rotations are incredibly draining, and cause unnecessary losses when we could have PVE environments. That's exactly why we're building Ascend.
We want to make sure every project building on Ascend has the resources they need to become successful. Building an environment for them to become successful is not something many launchpads have done!
This ties into everything we do, from our fees supporting builders to our token lifecycle of launch -> Ascended listing -> HyperCore Spot listing -> HIP-3 Perps lising facilitated by Kinetiq's HIP-3 DEX.
Finally, we're excited to announce the first way to participate in Ascend with our free mint of 500 supply NFT's! We really want to reward the people who support us early, as well as the Hyperliquid ecosystem. We'll be keeping an eye out from now on to who's following us, interacting with us, etc.
If you're building something, run a community, come talk to us! We'd love to give some WL spots to you.
Ascend is the launchpad for Elysium’s next generation of projects.
Our responsibility extends beyond launch day.
We think the protocol token model is broken
Platform revenue can grow while the projects generating it lose liquidity and momentum. Constant rotation keeps the business earning without requiring individual projects to succeed.
A protocol token adds more liquidity fragmentation. Buying it back directs revenue toward the platform’s token rather than directly supporting the projects generating those fees.
We are rebuilding the launchpad model around continued investment in builders and the ecosystem.
Our revenue model funds creator payouts, buybacks and liquidity support for qualifying projects, and $HYPE and kinetiq:native buybacks. The activity projects generate on Ascend create the resources to support their continued growth.
Those who support us early and consistently won't go unnoticed. Hyperliquid community, this is the part of Ascend we’ve been waiting to show you.
Our upcoming NFT collection introduces that part of Ascend.
Free mint. 500 Ascend NFTs. Three tiers.
The collection is being designed around enhanced participation in Ascend. Those who hold these will receive upside in the success of our protocol, in the form of ███████████████.
We will set aside WL for KNTQ & HYPE holders, early Ascend supporters, Hypurr NFT's, Hyperliquid communities, partners, and builders.
Building on Elysium or running a Hyperliquid community? DM us.
We're watching those who follow our journey. 👁️

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves.
Before CLI, we—@neogio3d and @svgdevop––were contracted by parties involved with the GNON project to help evolve it beyond its memetic origins.
The result was EchoChambers, the first agentic evaluation environment in Web3, which we designed, built, and maintained.
EchoChambers was the first evaluation environment to bring ElizaOS, Virtuals G.A.M.E., TopHat, HoloWorld, Cookie, and Zerebro together within a single cross-platform framework.
Our work was also included in the @RyzeLabs accelerator program. During the period we supported GNON, the project recovered from roughly $2M following the original developer’s departure, eventually reaching a peak near $80M.
Then came CLI V1.
Launched through CMD in 2025, CLI reached a peak market cap of $38M and brought together an early community that recognized what we were trying to build.
We worked closely with teams including @akashnet and @AethirCloud, collaborated with @Solana Superteams across Central and Southeast Asia, and hosted seminars at Startup Village Bali.
Along the way, CLI became more than a project. It became a real company.
While we became relatively quiet publicly, we never stopped working.
Over the past nine months, CLI has evolved from Web3-native hosting into a proprietary, agent-native cloud platform—built from the ground up to give developers and autonomous agents a faster path from code to secure, private production infrastructure.
We’ve worked toward SOC 2 Type II readiness, a FedRAMP Moderate security posture, and infrastructure hardened around NIST 800-207 and NSA/CISA guidance. We’ve also developed relationships that position CLI far beyond the market where it began.
Today, CLI is led by @neogio3d across business strategy, operations, and partnerships, and @svgdevop across engineering, infrastructure, and security, with product direction and design shared between us.
To everyone who believed in CLI before all of this existed: you are part of the reason we kept going.
Original CMD holders have shown extraordinary patience while we rebuilt, often with limited information and certainly no obligation to wait for us. That patience has not gone unnoticed, nor have the people behind it been forgotten.
Our claims portal will open shortly, allowing previous CMD holders to register their claim for a future airdrop of the new token. Further details will be provided separately soon.
This is not the relaunch announcement, but it is the clearest signal yet that the rebuilding phase is coming to a head.
CLI V1 proved our ability to create momentum. Everything we have built since has been focused on establishing the foundation required to sustain it.
CLI V2 is nearly here.
More soon.

ANNOUNCING THE OFFICIAL LAUNCHPAD BOYCOTT
We may have our differences, but it's time for the trenches to unite.
Starting at 10 AM EST, we will not buy a single coin for a new launchpad.
Doesn't matter if it's paired with commodities, stocks, ETH, peptides, or another launchpad.
We are done with new launchpads. Stick to the big ones we all know.
Analysts predict that by 2030, launchpads will replace all of humanity. Ask yourself what type of world you want your children to live in.
This is bigger than us.
