what's bankr?
Bankr is an AI-powered crypto companion designed to simplify trading and wallet management through messaging interfaces on platforms like X (Twitter) and Telegram. It enables users to buy, sell, swap, send tokens, place limit orders, bridge chains, and perform other actions across multiple blockchains including Base, Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, and Unichain. The project features seamless integrations with wallets such as Coinbase Wallet and supports NFT minting, Polymarket bets, and leverage trading on platforms like Avantis. Bankr's native token, $BNKR, powers ecosystem utilities like club subscriptions, API calls, staking for protocol security, and earning rewards. Users interact via a private terminal or social feeds, making crypto accessible without traditional apps.
