Bankr will move its $BNKR token off Clanker, founder 0xDeployer said on X on November 5, 2026, with a migration plan to follow over the coming weeks. Other coins launched through Bankr on Clanker will have the option to move too. The post did not say where the tokens would go or what holders would need to do.
0xDeployer said the decision follows a stake in Clanker that Jerry Pan holds behind the scenes, according to the post, which also criticized Pan’s track record. “i’m not comfortable with our token living there,” 0xDeployer wrote, adding that the objection is not about Clanker CEO Toady Hawk. Pan is listed as a founder in o1.exchange’s token disclosure, and o1 also runs a launchpad on Base. Clanker has not publicly confirmed a stake, and Pan’s recent public posts do not address the claim.
A community member fair launched $BNKR on Clanker, according to the post. 0xDeployer said Bankr should have made the move months ago and that it has done more launchpad volume in 2026 than every other launchpad on Base combined. 0xDeployer also said platforms change hands and their incentives change with them, and that Bankr will keep backing builders.
Clanker changed leadership days earlier. Hawk said on November 3 that Mask Network, which stewards Firefly and Lens Protocol, now oversees Clanker, and announced taking the CEO role. That post listed BNKR among Clanker’s best-known tokens and thanked Bankr. It did not mention Pan, who congratulated Hawk publicly the same day.
