Announced Nov 5, 2026: Clanker v5 replaces LP fees with a 1% to 10% creator-set buy and sell tax. Affects: Creators launching new tokens on Clanker and traders buying or selling v5 tokens. Source: clanker.gitbook.io, verified Nov 9, 2026.

Clanker's documentation now describes v5 as the current version of the token launcher, and every token created on clanker.world is a v5 token. A v5 token has no LP fee. Instead, each trade pays a buy or sell tax that the creator sets at launch between 1% and 10%, and Clanker's fee is taken out of that tax. Clanker's contract list dates the Base v5 deployment to 31 October 2026, with its other chains following by 5 November.
Clanker takes the larger of 10% of the tax and 0.5% of the trade, capped at 1% of the trade. On a 1% tax that means half the tax goes to Clanker. From a 5% tax up, Clanker takes 10% of it. Under the v4 model DexSheet recorded on 3 November, a standard token paid a 1% LP fee to the creator plus a Clanker fee of 20% of it on top, 1.2% per trade in total.
What is left after Clanker's fee goes to the creator's reward recipients, paid in the pair token. Creators can also send part of it to holder dividends, a token burn or an integrator. A sniper fee, on by default on clanker.world, makes trades in the first 20 seconds after launch pay a total fee that starts at 99% and falls to the normal tax. All of it goes to Clanker; under v4, launch-window proceeds went to the creator.
Clanker's FAQ says v5 runs on Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Robinhood Chain, X Layer, Arc and Elysium, and that Clanker no longer supports Ethereum, Arbitrum One, Unichain or Solana. Tokens launched before v5 keep their LP fee model.
“A Clanker v5 token has no LP fee. Every trade in its launch pool pays a buy tax or a sell tax, and that tax funds Clanker's fee, the creator's rewards and any holder dividends, burn or integrator share the creator chose at launch.”

Clanker at a glance
Clanker is a token deployment protocol on Base and other EVM chains. Anyone can launch a token by tagging the bot on Farcaster or X, through the clanker.world web form, or via its API and SDK. New tokens launch on Clanker v5, where every trade pays a buy or sell tax the creator sets, and the creator earns most of it.
