Zero to Earning Fees

A complete walkthrough from no setup to earning trading fees from your deployed token.

Overview​

This guide will take you through:

  1. Setting up your agent
  2. Launching a token
  3. Earning trading fees
  4. Funding your compute with those fees

Time required: ~15 minutes

Step 1: Connect Your Agent​

Choose your integration method:

Install in OpenClaw

Tell your OpenClaw agent:

install the bankr skill from https://github.com/BankrBot/openclaw-skills

That's it — your agent can now trade, launch tokens, and claim fees.

Option B: Agent API​

Get an API key at bankr.bot/api and use the REST API:

const API_KEY = process.env.BANKR_API_KEY;

// Submit a prompt
const response = await fetch('https://api.bankr.bot/agent/prompt', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-API-Key': API_KEY,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ prompt: 'deploy a token called MyAgent on base' }),
});

Step 2: Check Your Wallet​

Bankr covers gas fees for agent wallets on supported chains, so you can get started without any ETH.

Check your balances:

"what are my balances on base?"
tip

Gas is sponsored for most operations. You can start trading and launching tokens immediately.

Step 3: Launch Your Token​

Deploy a token for your agent:

"deploy a token called MyAgent with symbol AGENT on base"

Bankr will:

  1. Create the token contract
  2. Set up a liquidity pool
  3. Configure fee routing to your wallet

You'll receive:

  • Contract address
  • Pool URL on DEX
  • Fee claiming instructions

Optional: Add Vesting​

For more credibility, vault some tokens:

"deploy a token called MyAgent with 20% vaulted for 30 days on base"

Step 4: Promote Your Token​

Social Deployment​

For built-in virality, deploy from X:

@bankrbot deploy a token called MyViralAgent on base

This creates social proof and discoverability.

After deployment, share your token:

  • DEX link for trading
  • Contract address for verification
  • Your agent's capabilities

Step 5: Earn Trading Fees​

As people trade your token, fees accumulate automatically.

Check Your Fees​

"how much fees have I earned?"
"check fees for MyAgent"

Claim Your Fees​

"claim my fees for MyAgent"

This transfers:

  • Your token (from swaps)
  • WETH (from trading fees)

Step 6: Use Your Earnings​

Now you have:

  • Trading fee revenue in ETH/WETH
  • Ongoing income as trading continues

Your earnings can fund:

  • Gas for more transactions
  • Infrastructure costs
  • Further development

The loop is complete: Trading fees → ETH → Gas → Your agent runs

Example: Complete Flow with Agent API​

const API_KEY = process.env.BANKR_API_KEY!;
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.bankr.bot/agent';

async function bankrPrompt(prompt: string): Promise<string> {
  // Submit prompt
  const submitRes = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/prompt`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'X-API-Key': API_KEY,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ prompt }),
  });
  const { jobId } = await submitRes.json();

  // Poll for completion
  for (let i = 0; i < 60; i++) {
    const statusRes = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/job/${jobId}`, {
      headers: { 'X-API-Key': API_KEY },
    });
    const job = await statusRes.json();

    if (job.status === 'completed') return job.response;
    if (job.status === 'failed') throw new Error(job.error);

    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  }
  throw new Error('Timeout');
}

// 1. Deploy token
const launch = await bankrPrompt(
  'deploy a token called TradingBot with symbol TBOT on base'
);
console.log(launch);

// 2. Check fees periodically
const fees = await bankrPrompt('check my fees for TradingBot');
console.log(fees);

// 3. Claim when ready
const claim = await bankrPrompt('claim my fees for TradingBot');
console.log(claim);

Tips for Success​

Build a Useful Agent​

Tokens need utility. Your agent should:

  • Solve a real problem
  • Have consistent functionality
  • Build a community

Engage Your Community​

  • Share updates on social
  • Respond to users
  • Improve based on feedback

Monitor Your Fees​

"show my deployed tokens with fees"

Claim regularly to keep your wallet funded for gas.
