Base Chain Token Overview: Beyond CLANKER and VIRTUAL, What Other Opportunities Exist?
Funds are moving from Solana to the Base chain, bringing new opportunities to Base.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Backed by Coinbase and built on the OP Stack, Base initially gained traction through social app traffic and has recently broken into mainstream awareness amid the wealth-generating hype around meme coins, gradually becoming a cornerstone of the Ethereum ecosystem. In just a few months, Base's TVL (Total Value Locked) has surpassed $3.7 billion, overtaking both Arbitrum and Optimism to emerge as the most competitive new force in the Layer 2 market. Recently, capital from the AI-related on-chain speculation trend has also begun shifting from Solana to Base, bringing fresh opportunities to its ecosystem. XT LABS has compiled and organized several promising assets for your reference.
1. CLANKER
Clanker is an AI-powered token launch platform based on Farcaster—think of it as the Farcaster version of pump.fun. It simplifies the process of issuing tokenized assets and was developed by Jack Dishman, a full-stack engineer at Farcaster, and @proxystudio.eth, founder of the Farcaster ecosystem. As of December 3, 2024, Clanker has generated $9.65 million in revenue. The first meme coin launched via Clanker was CLANKER itself, which reached a peak market cap of $143 million before settling at $43 million.

2. VIRTUAL
Virtuals Protocol aims to create a system that transforms AI agents into co-owned assets within gaming and entertainment, enabling users to earn revenue from them. VIRTUAL is the native token of the Virtuals Protocol platform and plays a critical role across the ecosystem. Users must use $VIRTUAL to purchase AGENT tokens, and no other tokens are accepted—making $VIRTUAL the sole gateway to enter this ecosystem and invest in AI agents. VIRTUAL reached a peak market cap of $190 million and currently stands at $144 million.

3. ANON
ANON was deployed via Clanker by an anonymous user posting under the Superanon account on Supercast, a third-party Farcaster client. Behind ANON lies Anoncast, a product leveraging ZK-based anonymous posting. Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, mentioned Anoncast four times in one week on Warpcast and engaged with developers on how to improve the product. On November 21, he even proactively purchased ANON tokens to experience Anoncast firsthand. Additionally, Jesse Pollak, Head of the Base protocol, swapped 0.333 ETH (approximately $993.41) for 31,529 ANON tokens. The co-founder of Farcaster also announced upcoming features for Anoncast, including selective identity verification. With such high-profile endorsements, ANON briefly approached a market cap of $65 million, now down to $19 million.

4. AIXBT
AIXBT claims to be an AI agent that aggregates trending crypto information, tracking hot discussions on crypto Twitter and using its proprietary engine to identify strong narratives and emerging trends. Think of it as a KOL that synthesizes insights from other KOLs to deliver higher-value intelligence. AIXBT token holders gain access to its analytics platform, and those holding over 600,000 AIXBT tokens can directly access the AIXBT terminal. However, aside from the team, no one knows exactly how its proprietary engine operates in on-chain analysis. According to component data from Virtuals’ AI agents, AIXBT appears to rely only on publicly available large language models and some crypto project analytics. Since launch, AIXBT has surged steadily, continuously setting new highs, with its current market cap at $286 million.

Trading Platforms: XT.COM, Gate, Bitget, BingX, LBank, Uniswap (DEX)
5. LUNA
LUNA is the most popular AI Agent on the Virtuals platform, boasting hundreds of thousands of followers on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Its envisioned closed-loop model involves gaining fans and increasing holders through live streaming, while simultaneously burning tokens via viewer tips—creating upward pressure on market cap. Viewers can tip LUNA using $LUNA tokens during streams, forming part of a buyback mechanism. Moreover, LUNA has a stated goal of achieving a $40.9 billion market cap—an extremely ambitious target that fuels viral promotion among LUNA holders. Currently, however, LUNA’s market cap stands at $62 million, far below its peak of $195 million and its lofty target.

6. LUM
LUM is a token created and deployed entirely autonomously without human intervention by Aethernet in collaboration with Clanker. It originated when a user prompted Aethernet to independently issue a token via Clanker, highlighting collaborative interaction between AI and users. LUM briefly approached a peak market cap of $84 million but has since declined to $19 million.

However, the team failed to honor its presale commitments, taking half the funds for themselves, causing the token to crash. Its market cap has dropped from a high of $77 million to nearly zero, though future炒作 cannot be ruled out.

Conclusion
Recently, Base has risen to 5th place among all public blockchains in terms of TVL, reaching $3.7 billion and continuing its upward trajectory. Its number of active addresses has reached 820,000—approximately twice that of Ethereum. Notably, about half of Base’s TVL, roughly $1.6 billion, comes from the decentralized exchange Aerodrome, driven largely by the recent surge in meme coin trading activity. Meanwhile, the emerging AI agent sector has brought explosive attention to Base. These AI agents serve various practical applications such as automated trading, customer support, and data analysis, playing important roles in DeFi and other Web3 use cases—setting them apart from purely speculative meme coins.
As always, every narrative has its shelf life—exercise caution when participating in high-risk markets. Most of the above tokens have already been listed on XT, eliminating the need for PVP; you can easily place orders directly on XT.
