What is Bankr?

‍

Bankr is a natural language AI trading companion. With Bankr, anyone can trade directly in their social feed or private terminal, no exchanges or wallets needed.  A simple command allows users to swap, trade, and transfer.

What’s easier than sending a simple message? Imagine this: you’re on social media and see a project gaining traction. Instead of juggling exchanges, wallets, and gas fees, you simply type: “Yo @bankrbot, buy $200 of $TICKER” in the replies. Bankr handles the rest. 

From querying token prices to executing swaps and deploying new tokens via Clanker, users can do it all in the social feed with Bankr.

In this case study, we’ll explore how 0x powers Bankr’s swaps under the hood.

Swaps directly in the social feed

Transacting onchain means grappling with multiple exchanges, wallets, and tools - often requiring advanced crypto know-how. This complexity can be overwhelming, both for newcomers and crypto natives alike, creating a barrier to true onchain adoption.

Bankr was born out of a vision to accelerate crypto adoption by breaking down barriers with intuitive AI agents, making the growing multi-trillion dollar crypto market more accessible to everyone. By integrating into platforms where onchain ideas are born - Warpcast, X, Discord, and Telegram - Bankr aims to make trading more intuitive, conversational, and accessible.

“ Basically our idea was, how do we get our dads to trade crypto? Considering that they're not native to technology. And we were like, well, you need an agent to do all that for you.”

Bankr replaces traditional transaction experiences with a single, intuitive AI-powered companion that acts as your partner in navigating financial ideas as they come to life in social spaces. See a friend talking about a specific coin? Need to sell at a specific target? Bankr lets users take action with a simple prompt, no matter where they are.

Bankr initially deployed on Farcaster before expanding to Twitter late last year. Since then, the team has been heavily focused on what they see as the foundational functionality of Bankr - swapping. As the leading agent for swapping, it needed to be 100% accurate out-of-the-box.

Yet, routing is a complex challenge. Onchain liquidity has become increasingly fragmented with ever more tokens and DEXs. At the same time, swaps need to be reliable and fit into the business holistically, from security to monetization.

Given these challenges, building swap functionality from scratch was a non-starter for the Bankr team - the team was laser focused on iterating quickly with the community in order to build the best product possible. Bankr needed a powerful DEX aggregation API with a flexible feature set that would enable them to quickly and reliably integrate swaps into their platform.

With 0x building since 2017, an “OG in the space”, the Bankr team trusted 0x’s expertise and battle-tested infrastructure to provide the most reliable swap experience for users. 0x gave Bankr the confidence to reliably execute trades and find the best prices for users. 

On top of that, they found Swap API to be super simple to use, integrating 0x in just one day.
