Clanker SDK

The official TypeScript SDK for deploying tokens using Clanker.

Installation

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

CLI

The Clanker SDK ships a CLI for deploying and managing tokens directly from your terminal.

Install globally

npm install -g clanker-sdk

Then run commands with:

clanker-sdk deploy --name "MyToken" --symbol "MTK" --chain base
clanker-sdk rewards claim --token 0x...
clanker-sdk vault claim --token 0x...

Or use npx (no install)

npx clanker-sdk deploy --name "MyToken" --symbol "MTK" --chain base

Available commands

Command	Description
setup	Save default wallet & chain config
deploy	Deploy a new token (V3 or V4)
rewards	Claim rewards, update recipients/admins
vault	Claim vaulted tokens

| airdrop | Generate Merkle trees, register & claim airdrops | | token | Update token image & metadata |

Global options

--chain <name>        Target chain (base, base-sepolia, bsc, etc.)
--rpc <url>           Custom RPC URL
--private-key <key>   Wallet private key (or set PRIVATE_KEY env)
--json                Output machine-readable JSON
--dry-run             Simulate transaction without sending

Run clanker-sdk <command> --help for details on any command.

TypeScript SDK

1. Create a .env file with your configuration:

PRIVATE_KEY=<your_private_key_here>

2. Create a deployment script:

// deploy-script.ts

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

// Validate environment variables
const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`;

if (!PRIVATE_KEY) {
  throw new Error("Missing PRIVATE_KEY environment variable.");
}

// Initialize wallet with private key
const account = privateKeyToAccount(PRIVATE_KEY);

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

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

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

async function deployToken() {
  console.log("\n🚀 Deploying Token\n");

  // Deploy the token with full configuration
  const tokenConfig = {
    name: "My Token",
    symbol: "TKN",
    image: "ipfs://bafybeigdyrzt5sfp7udm7hu76uh7y26nf3efuylqabf3oclgtqy55fbzdi",
    metadata: {
      description: "Token with custom configuration including vesting and rewards",
      socialMediaUrls: [
        { platform: "x", url: "https://twitter.com/mytoken" },
        { platform: "telegram", url: "https://t.me/mytoken" },
      ],
      auditUrls: ["https://example.com/audit"],
    },
    context: {
      interface: "Clanker SDK",
      platform: "Clanker",
      messageId: "Deploy Example",
      id: "TKN-1",
    },
    pool: {
      quoteToken: "0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006", // WETH on Base
      initialMarketCap: "10", // 10 ETH initial market cap
    },
    vault: {
      percentage: 10, // 10% of tokens vested
      durationInDays: 30, // 30-day vesting period
    },
    devBuy: {
      ethAmount: 0, // No initial buy
    },
    rewardsConfig: {
      creatorReward: 75, // 75% creator reward
      creatorAdmin: account.address,
      creatorRewardRecipient: account.address,
      interfaceAdmin: "0x1eaf444ebDf6495C57aD52A04C61521bBf564ace",
      interfaceRewardRecipient: "0x1eaf444ebDf6495C57aD52A04C61521bBf564ace",
    },
  };

  try {
    const tokenAddress = await clanker.deployToken(tokenConfig);

    console.log("Token deployed successfully!");
    console.log("Token address:", tokenAddress);
    console.log("View on BaseScan:", `https://basescan.org/token/${tokenAddress}`);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof Error) {
      console.error("Deployment failed:", error.message);
    } else {
      console.error("Deployment failed with unknown error");
    }
    process.exit(1);
  }
}

deployToken().catch(console.error);

3. Run the deployment script:

bun deploy-script.ts
