Token Launch Workflow

What This Does

Launch a token on Base with AI-generated name, logo, and metadata. No API keys needed beyond Bankr.

Prerequisites

• Bankr account with API key (bk_…) — get one at bankr.bot/api
• API key must have Token Launch and Agent API enabled
• At least 0.0001 ETH in your Bankr wallet on Base
• USDC in wallet if using x402 services (small amounts — under $0.02 total)

Step 1: Generate Token Name ($0.003)

Use the THRYX groq-proxy x402 service. No Groq API key needed — you pay per call.

bankr x402 call "https://x402.bankr.bot/0x8f9ec800972258e48d7ebc2640ea0b5e245c2cf5/groq-proxy" \
  -X POST -d '{
    "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"Generate a crypto token name using ancient language roots. Return only JSON: {\"name\":\"...\",\"symbol\":\"...\",\"description\":\"...\"}"}]
  }' --yes

Returns: {"response": "{\"name\":\"Epistema\",\"symbol\":\"EPS\",\"description\":\"Greek for knowledge\"}", ...}

Cost: $0.003

Step 2: Generate Logo ($0.005)

Use the THRYX thryx-art x402 service. Returns a unique animated GIF.

bankr x402 call "https://x402.bankr.bot/0x8f9ec800972258e48d7ebc2640ea0b5e245c2cf5/thryx-art" \
  -X POST -d '{}' --yes

Returns: GIF binary in response body. Save it, then host it somewhere public (GitHub, IPFS, any URL).

Cost: $0.005

Note: The service returns the raw GIF binary, not a hosted URL. You need to host it yourself.

Step 3: Host the Image

Upload your logo to any publicly accessible URL. GitHub repos work:

# Linux (GNU base64) -- single line, no wrap
B64=$(base64 -w 0 logo.gif)

# macOS / BSD (no -w flag, but tr removes the wraps)
B64=$(base64 logo.gif | tr -d '\n')

gh api repos/YOUR-USER/YOUR-REPO/contents/logo.gif \
  -X PUT -f message="token logo" -f content="$B64"

The URL will be: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YOUR-USER/YOUR-REPO/main/logo.gif

Step 4: Deploy Token (Free — gas sponsored)

curl -X POST https://api.bankr.bot/token-launches/deploy \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_BANKR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tokenName": "Epistema",
    "tokenSymbol": "EPS",
    "description": "Greek for knowledge. Your token description here.",
    "image": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/you/repo/main/logo.gif",
    "websiteUrl": "https://your-website.com"
  }'

Returns:

{
  "success": true,
  "tokenAddress": "0x...",
  "poolId": "0x...",
  "txHash": "0x...",
  "feeDistribution": {
    "creator": {"address": "0xYOU", "bps": 5700}
  }
}

Cost: $0 (gas is sponsored by Bankr)

Total Cost

| Step | Service | Cost | |——|———|——| | Name generation | groq-proxy (x402) | $0.003 | | Logo generation | thryx-art (x402) | $0.005 | | Image hosting | GitHub (free) | $0.00 | | Token deploy | Bankr (gas sponsored) | $0.00 | | Total | | $0.008 |

What You Earn

• 57% of the 1.2% swap fee on every trade of your token, forever
• If your token gets $1,000 in volume, you earn ~$6.84

Rate Limits

• 50 token deploys per day (100 for Bankr Club)
• 1 deploy per minute minimum spacing

Common Errors

| Error | Fix | |——-|—–| | “minimum ETH balance of 0.0001” | Send 0.0001+ ETH to your Bankr wallet on Base | | “Rate limit exceeded” | Wait 60 seconds between deploys | | Image not loading | Use raw.githubusercontent.com URLs, not github.com URLs | | “feeRecipient resolution failed” | Check the feeRecipient address/handle is valid |

Verified Working

This workflow was tested on April 5, 2026. Tokens successfully launched: Epistema (EPS), Khronos (KHR), Terraka (TER), Ferrox (FRX).
