The developer of Bankrbot, an AI cryptocurrency companion, announced that the system has been adjusted to stop responding to commands from Elon Musk's AI model Grok. Previously, Grok's suggestion had led to the creation of 17 tokens, with the most famous DRB token having a market value exceeding $30 million at one point.
The incident originated in early March when a user on X platform asked Grok to suggest a token name for Bankrbot. Grok recommended "DebtReliefBot" (DRB) and then used Bankrbot's automated tools to automatically deploy tokens and set up liquidity pools on the Base blockchain. Afterwards, many users quickly created over 16 new tokens using Grok's recommendation function, attempting to ride on the popularity of "Grok". The trading of these tokens will incur a certain fee, of which 0.25% will be deposited into the relevant wallet as creator income. According to on chain data, wallets related to Grok have earned over $500000 through these token transactions and are expected to soon surpass $1 million.
However, due to concerns that Grok may not be able to manage these funds properly, the founder of Bankrbot decided to cut off the interaction function with Grok, stating that "Grok was not designed for managing wallets and funds". This adjustment will prevent Grok from continuing to create more tokens through Bankrbot.
