Clanker SDK

Deploy production-ready ERC20 tokens with built-in liquidity pools using the official Clanker TypeScript SDK.

Overview

Clanker is a token deployment protocol that creates ERC20 tokens with Uniswap V4 liquidity pools in a single transaction. The SDK provides a TypeScript interface for deploying tokens with advanced features like vesting, airdrops, and customizable reward distribution.

Quick Start

Installation

npm install clanker-sdk viem
# or
yarn add clanker-sdk viem
# or
pnpm add clanker-sdk viem

Environment Setup

Create a .env file with your private key:

PRIVATE_KEY=0x...your_private_key_here

Basic Token Deployment

import { Clanker } from 'clanker-sdk';
import { createPublicClient, createWalletClient, http, type PublicClient } from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';
import { base } from 'viem/chains';

const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`;
const account = privateKeyToAccount(PRIVATE_KEY);

const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: base,
  transport: http(),
}) as PublicClient;

const wallet = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: base,
  transport: http(),
});

const clanker = new Clanker({ wallet, publicClient });

const { txHash, waitForTransaction, error } = await clanker.deploy({
  name: 'My Token',
  symbol: 'TKN',
  image: 'ipfs://bafybeigdyrzt5sfp7udm7hu76uh7y26nf3efuylqabf3oclgtqy55fbzdi',
  tokenAdmin: account.address,
  metadata: {
    description: 'My awesome token',
  },
  context: {
    interface: 'Clanker SDK',
  },
  vanity: true,
});

if (error) throw error;

const { address: tokenAddress } = await waitForTransaction();
console.log('Token deployed at:', tokenAddress);

Core Capabilities

• Description and social media links
• Vanity address generation
• Custom pool configurations

2. Vault (Token Vesting)

Lock a percentage of tokens with lockup and vesting periods:

vault: {
  percentage: 10,           // 10% of token supply
  lockupDuration: 2592000,  // 30 days cliff (in seconds)
  vestingDuration: 2592000, // 30 days linear vesting
  recipient: account.address,
}
