A protocol update on May 24 introduced OxTrenchor into the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem, enabling users to issue tokens on X via simple commands. Unlike Bankr, the tool directs 100% of fees to a specific X handle. Virtuals core member @0xTP91 praised the tool, describing it as a shift from Bankr’s “please” model to a “support” model. Bankr developer @0xDeployer criticized the move, accusing the team of hypocrisy. Virtuals has not confirmed OxTrenchor’s official status. New token listings are expected to increase with the tool’s adoption.

Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that on May 24, the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem introduced a tool named "OxTrenchor," similar to "Bankr," which enables any user on X to issue tokens via simple commands. Unlike Bankr, OxTrenchor directs 100% of transaction fees (creator fees) directly to a specified X handle, with no additional platform cut. Since its launch, OxTrenchor has received praise from Virtuals Protocol core member @0xTP91, who suggested this represents a positive shift from Bankr’s “please” model—where developers must actively claim their tokens after issuance—to a “support” model, offering a more user-friendly path for capital formation for the community and builders. These comments sparked dissatisfaction from Bankr’s developer, @0xDeployer, who posted screenshots accusing the Virtuals team of “criticizing Bankr while promoting their own issuance tool—a classic move.” However, as of publication, no Virtuals Protocol team member has confirmed that OxTrenchor has official backing.
