On May 24, the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem launched OxTrenchor, a new Bankr-like tool that lets any user on X issue tokens quickly using simple commands. The key difference from Bankr: OxTrenchor allocates 100% of creator fees directly to a specific X handle, with no extra platform fees. Core Virtuals Protocol member @0xTP91 praised the tool post-launch, describing it as a positive shift from Bankr’s "please" model—where developers had to actively claim tokens issued via Bankr—to a "support" model that offers a more user-friendly path for community members and builders to build capital. The comment sparked frustration from Bankr developer @0xDeployer, who shared a screenshot accusing the Virtuals team of a classic double standard: criticizing Bankr publicly while pushing their own token-issuing tool. As of press time, Virtuals Protocol team members have not confirmed whether OxTrenchor has official backing from the project.
