# Introduction to Clanker

Clanker is a set of audited smart contracts that create token markets which reward token creators. Currently, Clanker deploys ERC-20 tokens on [EVM chains](https://clanker.gitbook.io/clanker-documentation/references/deployed-contracts) in a few ways:

1. Farcaster users may request [@clanker](https://warpcast.com/clanker) on Farcaster to deploy a token or on X by tagging [@clanker\_world](https://x.com/clanker_world) with token details.
2. Users may use the [clanker.world](https://www.clanker.world/) frontend interface and Farcaster Mini App to deploy a token.
3. Developers may create their own token creation experiences using the Clanker SDK or CLI, get started here: [Quick Start](/documentation/sdk/quick-start.md).
4. Users / interfaces may directly interact with Clanker's [Core Contracts](/documentation/references/core-contracts.md) to deploy tokens.
5. AI bots can use the [Clanker Agent Skill](https://clanker.world/skill/skill.md) to deploy and manage their token by simply prompting your agent with **"add clanker skill <https://clanker.world/skill/skill.md>"**

Token creators earn rewards based on trading volume on their created tokens. See [Creator Rewards & Fees](/documentation/general/creator-rewards-and-fees.md) for more detail.
