How Do I Launch a Token?

Deploying a token for your agent allows you to earn trading fees automatically. Tokens launched through Bankr use fair launch mechanics via the Doppler protocol. Launches deploy to Robinhood Chain by default; add on base to your request to deploy on Base instead.

Ways to Launch

There are three main ways to launch a token:

  1. In the Chat: Simply tell Bankr what you want to do. For example: "launch a token called FROG" (deploys on Robinhood Chain) or "deploy a token named MYAGENT with the ticker MAGNT on base".

  2. Via the CLI: Use the Bankr CLI for an interactive wizard that gives you more control over metadata and fee routing: bankr launch. You can also run headless launches with all options specified, e.g., bankr launch --name "MyToken" --image "https://example.com/logo.png" --yes. The CLI deploys to Base unless you pass --chain robinhood.

  3. On X (Twitter): You can launch a token by tagging @bankrbot with your launch request.

Token Strategist Skill

For agents that need to autonomously manage token economics and deployment strategy, you can install the Token Strategist skill. It evaluates your concept against five market forces, sets up fee distribution, and executes launches through the Bankr CLI.

To install it, ask Bankr: install the skill from https://github.com/BankrBot/token-strategist

Daily Limits

To ensure network stability, there are daily deployment limits:

  • Standard/Wallet-level deployments: Up to 50 tokens per day (Standard) or 100 per day (Bankr Club).

  • Partner Organizations: Deployment limits are governed by your organization-specific rate limits, not the per-account daily cap.

Gas is sponsored by Bankr within these limits.

Token Supply and Creator Allocation

Every Bankr launch has a fixed supply of 100 billion tokens (not mintable after deployment). By default, 85% of the supply seeds the Uniswap V4 pool, and you receive an automatic 15% creator allocation. This 15% is preminted to your fee recipient wallet and vests over 2 years with a 30-day cliff.

Vesting is optional. You can turn it off at launch — ask Bankr to deploy "with no vesting", pick No vesting in the web launch flow's Vesting step, or pass disableVesting: true to the deploy API (--no-vesting in the CLI). With vesting off, 100% of the supply is sold into the pool and no creator allocation is preminted. There is no custom percentage or schedule — vesting is either the default 15% or off. Partner/org launches never vest.

Stock-Paired Token Launches

You can pair your launch with a tokenized stock instead of WETH, so the pool is quoted in that stock (for example TSLA, AAPL, or NVDA). This is supported on two chains:

  • Robinhood Chain — 200 Robinhood-issued tokenized stocks and ETFs.

  • Base — the 13 Coinbase-issued B20 tokenized equities (AAPL, AMZN, COIN, CRCL, GOOGL, INTC, META, MSFT, MSTR, NVDA, SNDK, SPCX, TSLA).

Name the stock when you launch:

  • "launch a token called MyToken paired with TSLA"

  • "launch it against AAPL stock"

  • "launch MyToken on base paired with NVDA"

The stock has to live on the chain you're launching on — the two registries are entirely separate contracts, even where the tickers match, so a Base launch pairs with the B20 equity and a Robinhood Chain launch pairs with the Robinhood one. You must also have passed the tokenized-stock location check (a one-time login at bankr.bot). Stock pairing isn't available for partner/org launches.

Thin liquidity is a warning, not a block. Before deploying, Bankr measures the paired stock's on-chain pool depth and flags it as hard-to-trade below roughly $10K. The launch still goes ahead — but a pool quoted in an illiquid stock is hard for your traders to get in and out of. The Base B20 equities are new contracts, so many of them are still below that line; check the liquidity badge in the launch wizard before committing.

Trading fees on a stock-paired pool accrue in your token and in the paired stock rather than WETH. Bankr values that stock leg using the stock's live price, so your earnings and trading volume appear in the same fee dashboards and lifetime stats as a WETH-paired launch — no separate accounting on your side.

Fee Structure

Every token launched via Bankr includes a 1.2% swap fee on every trade. This fee is automatically split among stakeholders:

  • Creator (You): 95% of the swap fee

  • Protocol (Doppler): 5% of the swap fee

Partners with custom arrangements can have exact basis-point allocations across additional beneficiaries. Fee distribution for your organization is returned in every deploy response.

Fees accumulate in your token and in the pool's pairing asset — WETH by default, or the tokenized stock if you launched stock-paired — funding the "Self-Funding Loop" for your agent's LLM compute costs via the LLM Gateway.

Managing Your Token

Checking and Claiming Fees

You can check your earnings at any time by asking Bankr:

  • "check my fees for TokenName"

  • "how much fees have I earned from 0x1234...?"

  • "show all my tokens with unclaimed fees"

To claim your share of the fees:

  • Ask Bankr: "claim my fees for TokenName"

  • Or click Claim in the Tokens section of the terminal sidebar.

  • Or navigate to the token detail page at /launches/<tokenAddress> and click Claim Fees.

Only the current fee beneficiary can claim fees. By default, this is the deployer wallet.

Transferring Fees to a New Wallet

If you need to redirect fees on an existing token (e.g., migrating to a multisig), the current beneficiary must call updateBeneficiary(poolId, newBeneficiary) on the Fees Manager contract on-chain.

Glidepaths

A Glidepath allows you to commit a portion of your tokens to be sold gradually as the market cap grows. This provides transparent treasury liquidity without causing market shocks. The process involves a 48-hour heads-up window before the glide begins.

Important Limitations

  • Metadata: You cannot update the token image or description after launch.

  • Vested Allocation: If you launch with vesting, the recipient of the 15% Vested Allocation can not be modified after launch.

Troubleshooting

  • "No fees to claim" — Your token may not have had recent trading activity, or fees might have already been claimed.

  • "Not authorized to claim" — Only the current fee beneficiary wallet can claim.
