clanker started with a very good abstraction: have an idea, tag a bot, deploy a token. making the hard thing feel simple was the product. the simplicity worked so well that people started confusing the interface with the infrastructure underneath it. the bot is still here. the simple launch is still here. but clanker is also the contracts, the sdk, the interfaces other people build, the markets a token enters, the fees it routes, and the decisions a project makes after the first block. "token launcher" is accurate but incomplete.
