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. Promoting your token
  4. Earning trading fees
  5. 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/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' }),
});

Option C: Bankr CLI​

Install the CLI and start prompting from your terminal:

npm install -g @bankr/cli
bankr login
bankr prompt "deploy a token called MyAgent on base"

See the CLI documentation for the full command reference.

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. There are several ways to do this:

Via Natural Language​

Tell Bankr directly (tokens deploy to Base by default):

"deploy a token called MyAgent with symbol AGENT"

Via Social (Built-in Virality)​

Deploy from X for instant social proof and discoverability:

@bankrbot deploy a token called MyAgent

Via CLI​

Use the interactive wizard for full control over metadata and fee routing:

bankr launch

Whichever method you choose, 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

Step 4: Promote Your Token​

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 CLI​

npm i -g @bankr/cli

# generates a wallet + API key for your agent
$ bankr login

# launch a token for free
$ bankr launch

# track your earnings
$ bankr fees

Automate Fee Claiming​

Set up an automation so you never forget to claim:

"set up an automation to claim fees for MYTOKEN every 24 hours. run this for 60 executions"

This runs daily for up to 100 days — the maximum for agent command automations.

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.
