ALL COLLATERAL

Borrow against CLANKER

Teller pools accept CLANKER, the token of the Base token-deployer bot, as collateral on Base at up to 21.1% LTV, lending USDC at 25% APR. The pool holds four figures of lending capacity, near the top of the Base long tail. Every loan is fixed-term with no margin-call, so a price fall during the loan cannot liquidate your collateral.

The deployer, and the people who hold its token

Clanker is the bot that launches tokens on Base. Ask it on Farcaster, and an ERC-20 exists a few seconds later with a market already attached. A large share of the Base long tail arrived that way, including several assets that now have their own pools on this platform.

That gives CLANKER an unusual holder base for a Base token. The people holding it are largely the people shipping on Base, and builders have running costs: a deploy, a bit of seed liquidity, an audit, a month of infrastructure. Those bills arrive in dollars while the balance sheet sits in the token.

One of the deeper books in the Base long tail

Most Base rows on this platform hold a small amount of lending capacity. The CLANKER pool holds four figures of USDC, which puts it near the top of the chain’s long tail and makes it a row where a real loan can actually clear. Terms are 21.1% LTV at 25% APR.

Start from the row rather than by ticker. The pool accepts 0x1bc0c42215582d5a085795f4badbac3ff36d1bcb and nothing else, and a chain where anyone can deploy a token in one message carries more lookalike tickers than most.

One million tokens, and the contract calls itself tokenbot

Two things on the contract are worth reading before you deposit.name returns “tokenbot”, not CLANKER, so a wallet or explorer showing that string is showing the right asset rather than the wrong one. And totalSupplyanswers exactly 1,000,000.

A million units is unusual on this chain, where billions and tens of billions are the norm, and it pushes the unit price up accordingly. Practically that means collateral here is counted in small, ordinary numbers, and a balance that looks modest by Base standards can back a real loan.

A term loan suits a build cycle

The pool runs a 30-day cycle, which maps onto how this kind of spending actually happens. You know roughly what the next month costs, you borrow that, and you repay from whatever the month produces. Rate, LTV and the roll window all lock at the start, so the cost of the month is a number you have before you commit to it.

Every loan is fixed-term with no margin-call, so a price fall during the loan cannot liquidate your collateral. For an asset that moves with Base sentiment week to week, that is the feature that makes the loan usable at all. Miss the due date and the collateral is forfeit, so the risk sits on a calendar you set. Base gas is cents across the approval and the borrow.

The rest of the chain’s tokens are on the Base collateral page, and ZORA covers the other side of the creator economy there.

Frequently asked questions

How many CLANKER exist?

Exactly one million, which totalSupply confirms. That is far tighter than the billions most Base tokens carry, so the unit price is correspondingly higher.

Why does my wallet show tokenbot instead of CLANKER?

Because the contract's name field returns tokenbot. Seeing that string means you are looking at the right asset, not the wrong one.

What is Clanker?

A bot that deploys ERC-20 tokens on Base from a request on Farcaster. A large share of the Base long tail was launched through it, and CLANKER is its token.

Which contract does the pool accept?

0x1bc0c42215582d5a085795f4badbac3ff36d1bcb. Start from the table row rather than searching by ticker, since Base carries several tokens per popular symbol.

How much can the pool actually lend?

Four figures of USDC, which is near the top of the Base long tail here. The live figure sits behind the row above and moves as loans open and close.

How long is the loan?

A 30-day cycle. Rate, LTV and the roll window lock at the start, so the full cost of the month is known before you sign.

Does a drawdown mid-loan cost me the collateral?

No. There is no liquidation threshold during the term, so a bad week changes nothing about what you owe. Only missing the due date forfeits the collateral.
