MetaMask founder issued two coins in a row, sparking a meme battle between Base and Solana

At 11:08 noon today, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay deployed the Meme Token CONSENT on the Base network through AI agent clanker. The token pumped to a market capitalization of $4.5 million within 5 minutes, and then oscillated between $2 million and $3 million.

Clanker is a Meme issuance tool based on AI+social platform, with a similar interactive experience to makenow.meme. Users only need to @clanker, provide a text description of Token’s Ticker, content, and image, and Clanker will automatically deploy the Token. The key difference lies in the deployment process being completed by AI.

Dan: Oh no, I’m also out of chips.

But 13 minutes after Token was deployed, Dan forwarded clanker’s deployment reply and said:“To be honest, this is a bad experience: my Token was taken away by 200 robots, obviously this is eyewash. Maybe issuance can deposit the initial funds first? Even Uniswap’s widget doesn’t provide MM as an option for mobile login.”(Note: MM=MetaMask.)

Similar situations have also occurred on makenow.meme, where Token deployers choose to release Tokens through social media platforms, and the deployers themselves do not have the right to purchase priority, and even before the official Bot responds, no one knows which Token is real.

This seemingly “fair” way of launching, in fact, has become a feast for “scientists”. Looking back to the earlier friend.tech, various big Vs were all monitored by Bot. Once they went online, the early chips were taken away by Bot, leaving no space for ordinary users to participate.

“Pump.fun save me”

Later, Dan further stated that he actually suffered losses by deploying Token through clanker, because many people bought in before the founder and then started dumping after the founder. Now, the only way to make up for the losses is through advocating for votes (shilling).

4 minutes later, Dan came up with a brilliant idea - to launch a coin on pump.fun. However, publicly, Dan claimed that this was a test to compare the experience of two launch coin platforms.

After Dan released the pump link to confirm the legitimacy of the Token, CONSENT on Solana started a big pump. After 11 minutes of launch, it reached a market capitalization of $11 million, and Dan’s account had a floating profit of about $200,000.

Dan gave a positive review of the pump:

“Comparing the Meme coin experience of WC (Warpcast) and SOL. There are two Tokens named CONSENT, but only one will emerge victorious. So far, the results are: on Clanker, there is a massive rush and rug-pulling; while on pump.fun, at least the developers are genuine founding members. For instance, it’s impossible to conduct Crowdfunding for an organization in the Clanker mode. Even though the amount I invested in pump.fun is only a small portion of Clanker, the returns are several times the losses on Clanker. I’m not sure how much of this is ‘the normal site noise’ and how much is due to the boost from this activity, but for me, that’s the reality.”

Clanker comes to small dui a bit

In response to the loss of money on clanker, clanker posted on X platform: “@danfinlay tried clanker and pump.fun. He gave us some good suggestions, and we will use them to improve our products. Dan had a bad experience, but he made over $26,000 just on ETH.”

But Dan doesn’t seem to have seen this post on the X platform, but he has received prompts from other Warpcast users - ‘Where can I see these clanker rewards (funds)?’
