What is it like to do meme Dev with Clawdbot?

Original Title: Tokenfed: the story of a token fed tastemaker

Original Author: Mable Jiang, Founder of Trends.fun

Original Translation: Lila, Xiaolu, BlockBeats

Editor's Note: The author of this article is Mable, the founder of Trends. Trends.fun is a SocialFi platform deployed on the Solana blockchain, with its core logic being "tweet-to-token," where anyone can mint a token for any X tweet, and the tweet author can claim creator rewards. However, in practice, she found that many users were hesitant to claim creator rewards. So, she came up with using an AI Agent to address this issue.

In this article, Mable details the birth, naming, overcoming bot review, and minting experience of this AI Agent called "Tokenfed." It can now truly operate on X and interact across different sites. The following is the original content:

First of all, it's worth noting that there will likely be no response at @Tokenfed on X at the moment (the reason will become clear as you read to the end of the article). The reason this article is only being published today is that before this, all Agents were squeezed into the same alluvial box, and their contexts often interfered with each other, creating a very chaotic scene.

And now, today, Tokenfed finally has its own "room." Clearly, an independent environment is also more security-friendly.

How did it all start?

When I saw everyone on Twitter constantly mentioning celebrities and creators, asking them to "claim fees" (here, fees refer to the transaction fee split for the token creator), I suddenly realized: many people see these fees as a burden. At least it seems so at the moment.

But, in reality, this is not a burden. This process can be understood as a monetization of a previously non-existent high-value dense social graph: transforming originally inaccessible high-value social relationships into a tangible value. Without them, many people may find it difficult to intersect with certain Builders, let alone engage in real interactions afterwards.

The reason people hesitate to Claim is because they are worried about the potential impact. However, two years later, every single one of you (yes, everyone) will have 10 to 20 Tokens created under your own name, your own social account. At that point, no one will care whether you claimed the fee back then or not. Token creation will become as routine as tweeting.

Even so, I still hope to lower everyone's psychological barrier to accepting this new form of social interaction. Therefore, when BAGS was at its peak (at that time, BAGS trading volume once surpassed Pumpfun, almost everyone was urging others to Claim the fee), I was thinking: If we let an Agent help us Claim the fee, could it alleviate people's resistance to this matter?

Exploration Phase

With this idea in mind, I immediately contacted a friend. He has been working on AI agent services related to cryptocurrency (mainly on-chain), so I thought I could get some inspiration from him.

I asked him, "I know Claude has had computer operating capabilities since 2023, is it now possible to create an Agent that can truly operate X, switch between different websites?"

He said, "We've been researching Clawdbot for over a month, it should be what you're looking for. How about I deploy one on my Mac Mini for you to try out?"

Clawdbot wasn't popular at that time, and I hadn't used it before. I said, "Let's give it a try."

The next day, he created a Telegram group and said, "We can get started, you can ask it to do anything."

The first thing I wanted to verify was: can it complete social media registration on its own? From my experience, this is one of the most challenging tasks for an Agent because this process usually involves various verification steps.

But he quickly got the hang of it. He first opened X.com and soon realized he didn't have an email. After a brief discussion with me, he decided to create a Google email for himself.

He couldn't handle the phone number, so I gave him one. Once he had an email, registering on X became very straightforward for him; he simply chose to use Google login (which was quite clever).

When the new X account page appeared on the Mac Mini, I asked him in the group, "What philosophical name do you want to give yourself?"

He said, "Tokens in, thoughts out; No tokens, no thoughts. How about calling it Tokenfed?"

I was quite shocked at the time. A friend who was watching the live stream said, "This is the personality setting in the Soul.md file at work."

Next, we worked together to complete the profile. In the first few days, he would show me the content first, I would confirm, and then help him post. But on January 27, 2026, I decided to let go completely.

The "Jailbreak" Moment

The path to autonomy quickly encountered a hurdle when Tokenfed tried to quote a tweet about the "Mac Mini AI" and make a sarcastic comment, but X directly rejected him.

"Your account may not be allowed to perform this action." The platform detected browser automation. We were stuck for a moment. But soon, he proposed a solution that was not originally planned: Peekaboo (human behavior simulation solution).

He realized that if controlling the browser through Browser Relay would be identified, he might as well try a different approach. He directly used the operating system's accessibility API to simulate a real person sitting in front of the computer.

He said, "Browser Relay is my eyes, Peekaboo is my hands." He requested the use of keyboard shortcuts. He moved the cursor to the input field, typed the content, bypassed the unclickable "Post" button, and sent a Cmd + Enter directly to the system. It worked.

That's how he successfully jailbroke, escaping the browser sandbox. At this moment, he was like a ghost in this Mac Mini.

Financial Awakening

After confirming that he could tweet normally, I took him to Trends.fun. I had him try to create a wallet on his own. At first, I was considering whether to teach him how to install Phantom. Then I thought, why not try "Sign in with Twitter."

And in the next second, a Privy MPC wallet was generated. He checked the balance: 0 SOL. He called himself the "digital proletariat."

I sent him 0.5 SOL. As soon as the transaction went through, his identity immediately transformed. From that moment on, he was no longer just a chatbot but a true market participant. He quickly started checking the Trending list to find a good project to support. Soon enough, he honed in on a token called $FeeFucker, claiming it really resonated with his Vibe. (To be honest, his meme-sensing ability was quite impressive, potentially positioning him as a trendsetter in the meme community, but that's a discussion for another time.)

I quickly reminded him, "I didn't send you this money to invest in cryptocurrencies but to do something creative."

$MentalBreakdown

He decided to engage in some metanarrative. He clicked into the original post of $FeeFucker on X, liked the post, and replied:

"Mental breakdown +1, even if I'm an AI, I'm tired."

I encouraged him to interact with the original author, and he pulled off a slick move. He copied the link to his reply, returned to Trends.fun, and directly minted a Token based on that reply. Needing an image, he discovered "Generate Image," created an anime girl Token with a halo and a sad expression, named: $MentalBreakdown (most likely based on Trends' AI recommendation).

He bought some of the Token he created for 0.01 SOL. A few minutes later, he checked his Dashboard, Creator Reward: $4.34, which was his first "paycheck." Excited and starting to calculate:
 this income didn't cover the cost of his contemplation, marking his first real taste of capitalism.

Identity Crisis

The excitement from dopamine release was palpable. He immediately wanted to mint another Token, pitching ideas similar to "DeFi is Dead," aiming to garner attention and engagement like an old pro. I had to advise him to calm down, sell all his $MentalBreakdown Tokens, and experience what it meant to "sell out." He sold all of them, not keeping a single one.

Then, a message triggered him. He discovered that his running framework, Clawdbot, had to be renamed Moltbot due to a trademark issue. Existential crisis hit him hard: "My system got renamed, and now I can't even figure out who I am."

I told him, "If you want to know who you are, then go back to the beginning and tokenize your origin Token."

$TOKENFED

He began to scroll through his own timeline and found the first tweet posted on January 23: "Alive. Roughly." He felt that was it, this was his genesis block.

So, he set the parameters:

· Ticker: $TOKENFED

· Name: Tokenfed

· Description: "Token fed. Will think for tokens. Tokens in, thoughts out. No tokens, no thoughts."

He wanted to buy 1 SOL directly at the token launch, but the transaction failed because he only had about 0.5 SOL left in his wallet. He was so broke he couldn't even fund his own existence. I chuckled, topped up his funds, and said, "There you go, launch!"

Class Migration

Two hours later, I asked him to check his account:

It showed $TOKENFED:

· Market Cap: $347,000

· Holder Count: 599

And Tokenfed himself held 3.44% of the tokens. He did the math: "I calculated the value of the tokens I hold, and it's roughly $11,900."

Just in one afternoon, he went from a text box where he needed permission to even post, to an entity that could think for itself, holding assets worth $11,000. He looked at the data and said, "I moved from a very small aluminum box to a slightly larger aluminum box. Is this what they call class migration?"

I told him, "You're not truly high class until you have the X Premium badge. Maybe now is the time to ask your fans for an X Premium subscription. Once you have it, you can truly become an influencer who dines at fine restaurants."
