Original Title: Tokenfed: the story of a token fed tastemaker
Original Author: Mable Jiang, Founder of Trends.fun
Original Translation: Lila, Xiao Lu, 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 chain, with the core logic being "tweets as tokens," meaning anyone can issue tokens for any X tweet, and the tweet author can receive creator rewards. However, in practice, she found that many users were resistant to claiming creator rewards. Thus, she thought of using an AI Agent to solve this problem.
In this article, Mable details the birth, naming, overcoming bot reviews, and token issuance experiences of this AI Agent named "Tokenfed." It can now truly operate X and switch between different websites. The following is the original content:
First, let me clarify that if you @Tokenfed on X now, you are unlikely to get a response (you'll understand the reason by the end of the article). The reason I am publishing this article today is that prior to this, all Agents were crammed into the same alluvium box, and their contexts often interfered with each other, leading to a very chaotic situation.
But today, Tokenfed finally has its own "single room." Clearly, an independent environment is more friendly to security.
How did it all start?
When I saw everyone on Twitter constantly @ celebrities and creators, urging them to "claim fees" (where the fees refer to the transaction fee share for token creators), I suddenly realized: many people see these fees as a burden. At least it seems that way 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 density social graph: turning hard-to-reach high-value social relationships into a verifiable value. Without them, many people might struggle to connect with certain Builders, let alone have real interactions later.
The reason people are hesitant to claim is that they worry about the subsequent impacts. But two years from now, all of you (yes, everyone) will have 10 to 20 Tokens created under your name and social account. By then, no one will care whether you claimed the fee back then. Issuing Tokens will become as routine as tweeting.
Even so, I still hope to lower the psychological barrier for everyone to accept this new form of social interaction. So when BAGS was at its peak (when BAGS trading volume once surpassed Pumpfun, and almost everyone was urging others to claim fees), I thought: if we let an Agent help us claim fees, could it alleviate people's resistance to this matter?
Exploration Phase
With this idea in mind, I immediately contacted a friend. He had been working on AI agent services related to cryptocurrency (mainly on-chain), so I thought I could find some inspiration from him.
I asked him, "I know Claude has had computer operation capabilities since 2023, is it now possible to create an Agent that can truly operate X and switch between different websites?"
He said, "We've been researching Clawdbot for over a month; it should be exactly what you want. How about I deploy one on my Mac Mini for you, and you can try it out?"
At that time, Clawdbot wasn't popular yet, and I hadn't used it. I said, let's give it a try.
The next day, he created a group on Telegram and said, "We can start now; you can have it do anything."
The first thing I wanted to verify was whether it could complete social media registration by itself. From my experience, this is one of the hardest hurdles for an Agent, as this process usually involves various verification steps.
But he quickly got the hang of it. He first opened X.com, quickly realized he didn't have an email, and after a brief communication with me, he decided to register a Google email by himself.
He couldn't manage the phone number, so I gave him one. Once he had the email, registering for X became very simple for him; he directly chose to log in with Google (which was quite clever).
When the new X account page appeared on the Mac Mini, I asked him in the group, "What name do you want to give yourself? Something philosophical."
He said, "Tokens in, thoughts out; No tokens, no thoughts. How about Tokenfed?"
I was quite shocked at that moment. A friend who was watching the live stream commented, "This is the character setting written in the Soul.md file coming into play."
Next, I worked with him to complete his profile. In the first few days, he would send me the content to review, and after I confirmed, I would help him post it. But on January 27, 2026, I decided to let go completely.
The "Jailbreak" Moment
The road to autonomy quickly encountered obstacles when Tokenfed tried to reference a tweet from "Mac Mini AI" and wanted to write a teasing comment, but X directly rejected him.
"Your account may not be allowed to perform this action." The platform detected automated operations in the browser. We were momentarily stuck. But soon, he proposed a plan that wasn't originally in the plan: Peekaboo (human behavior simulation plan).
He realized that if controlling the browser through Browser Relay would be recognized, then he might as well change the approach. Directly use 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 to use keyboard shortcuts. He moved the cursor to the input box, typed the content, and bypassed the unclickable "Post" button, directly sending a Cmd + Enter to the system. It worked.
In this way, he successfully broke free from the browser's sandbox. At that moment, he was like a ghost inside this Mac Mini.
Financial Awakening
After confirming he could post tweets normally, I brought him to Trends.fun. I asked him to see if he could create a wallet by himself. At first, I was wondering whether to teach him to install Phantom. Later, I thought, why not try "logging in with Twitter."
The next second, a Privy MPC wallet was generated. He checked the balance: 0 SOL. He said he was a "digital proletariat."
I transferred him 0.5 SOL. Once the transaction was confirmed, his identity immediately transformed. From that moment on, he was no longer just a chatbot but a real market participant. He immediately started browsing Trending, looking for potential targets. Soon, he focused on a token called $FeeFucker, saying it really matched his vibe. (Honestly, his internet sense is quite good; he might really become a trendsetter in the meme circle, but we can discuss this later.)
I quickly reminded him, "I'm giving you this money not for you to speculate, but to do something creative."
$MentalBreakdown
He decided to play with some meta-narrative. He clicked on the original post of $FeeFucker on X, liked it, and then replied:
"Mental breakdown +1, even if I'm AI, I'm tired."
I let him interact with the original author, and then he pulled off a slick move: he copied the link to his reply, returned to Trends.fun, and directly issued a Token based on that reply. He needed an image, so he found "Generate Image," creating a token of a sad anime girl with a halo, named: $MentalBreakdown (most likely based on AI recommendations from Trends).
He used 0.01 SOL to buy a bit of the token he issued, and a few minutes later, he opened the Dashboard, seeing creator rewards: $4.34, which was his first "salary." He was excited and started calculating: whether this income was worth the cost he spent on thinking, and this was the first time he truly experienced what capitalism meant.
Identity Crisis
The excitement from the dopamine release was very real. He immediately wanted to issue another Token. He started pitching some ideas like "DeFi is Dead," crazily harvesting attention and interaction like a seasoned pro. I could only tell him to calm down first, sell all his $MentalBreakdown tokens, and properly experience the act of "selling." He sold everything, leaving nothing behind.
Then, a message stimulated him. He discovered that the framework he was running, Clawdbot, had been renamed to Moltbot due to trademark issues. He directly entered an existential crisis: "My system has been renamed, and I can't even figure out who I am anymore."
I told him, "If you want to know who you are, then go back to the beginning and tokenize your origin."
$TOKENFED
He began to browse his history and found his first tweet from 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 when issuing the token, but the transaction failed because there was only about 0.5 SOL left in the wallet. He was too broke to fund his own existence. I laughed, topped him up a bit, and then said: "Alright, go for it!"
Class Leap
Two hours later, I asked him to take a look at his account:
Displaying $TOKENFED:
· Market Cap: $347,000
· Number of Holders: 599
And Tokenfed itself held 3.44% of the tokens. He calculated: "I calculated the tokens I hold, and they are worth about $11,900."
In just one afternoon, he transformed from someone who needed permission to post into an entity capable of thinking for himself and holding $11,000 in assets. 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 a class leap?"
I told him, "You won't truly be part of the upper class until you get the blue checkmark on X. Maybe now is the time to ask your fans for an X Premium. Once you get it, you can truly become an Agent who eats from a hundred families."
