The Beginner's Verdict: Skip the Code, Use the Builder
Why spend weeks learning Solana programming when you can launch in minutes?
For creators new to crypto, building an automatic distribution system from scratch is the most complex and risky part of a launch. Spawned's integrated platform is the clear recommendation for beginners. You avoid smart contract coding, security audits, and manual reward calculations. Your distribution is live from day one, with 0.30% of every trade automatically shared with your token holders. This built-in incentive is a major factor for community growth that other platforms lack. See how it compares to other launchpads.
- Traditional Method: Requires Rust/Anchor knowledge, security testing, and manual updates.
- Spawned Method: Configure distribution rules with a few clicks in the AI builder. No code.
The Hard Way: Manual Distribution Steps
This is the complex, expensive path most tutorials assume you can follow.
To understand the value of an automated system, see what you avoid. Here are the typical steps for a manual setup:
- Write the Smart Contract: Develop a Token-2022 program in Rust using the Anchor framework to handle reward logic.
- Test and Audit: Deploy to devnet, run extensive tests. A professional audit can cost 5-10 SOL or more.
- Deploy and Fund: Deploy the contract to mainnet and fund its wallet with SOL to pay for transaction fees.
- Manual Calculations & Payouts: Regularly calculate each holder's share based on transactions and manually initiate transfers, paying gas fees each time.
- Build a Frontend: Create a website or dashboard for your community to track rewards, adding another project.
How Spawned's Automatic Distribution Works
Spawned integrates distribution into the token launch and website creation process. When you use the AI builder to create your token's site, you simultaneously configure its economic rules. The 0.30% creator fee and the 0.30% holder reward fee are set at the protocol level. Every trade on decentralized exchanges automatically splits the 0.60% total fee: half goes to you as creator revenue, and half is distributed proportionally to all token holders. This happens in real-time, with no action required from you or your holders after launch. It's a perpetual reward system designed to encourage holding. Explore the AI builder features.
Side-by-Side: Manual vs. Spawned Automatic
| Feature | Manual/Code Approach | Spawned AI Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | Weeks to months | Minutes during launch |
| Coding Skill | Advanced Rust required | None needed |
| Upfront Cost | 5-10 SOL+ for audit | 0.1 SOL launch fee |
| Ongoing Cost | Your time + gas fees for payouts | Included (0.30% fee per trade) |
| Holder Rewards | You must build it | Built-in (0.30% per trade) |
| Website/Dashboard | Separate project & cost | Included with AI builder |
| Post-Launch Fees | You manage everything | Automatic 1% fee via Token-2022 after graduation |
This comparison shows why an all-in-one platform is efficient. The AI builder alone saves $29-99 monthly on website hosting and tools, which directly offsets the platform fee.
3 Key Benefits of Automatic Distribution
Choosing an automated system isn't just about ease; it provides tangible advantages for your project's success.
- Immediate Trust & Incentive: A live, transparent reward system from launch day builds holder confidence. They see value accruing directly to their wallet, which encourages long-term holding over quick selling.
- Saved Resources: The time and money saved on development and audits can be redirected to marketing, community building, and project development. This is a significant strategic advantage.
- Professional Infrastructure: You get a secure, audited protocol handling finances. This reduces your liability and operational risk compared to managing a custom, self-coded contract holding community funds.
Your 4-Step Launch with Automatic Rewards
This process replaces dozens of complex steps with four simple ones.
Here is the beginner-friendly path to a token with built-in distribution:
- Connect Wallet: Visit Spawned and connect your Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom).
- Use the AI Builder: Input your token name, symbol, and description. The AI generates your website and configures the token's fees (0.30% creator, 0.30% holder rewards).
- Review & Launch: Confirm the details. Pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee. Your token is created, and your website goes live instantly.
- Share Your Project: Distribute your new website link. As people trade, rewards flow automatically to you and your holders.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you do not need any coding knowledge. The distribution system is pre-built into the Spawned platform. When you create your token using the AI website builder, the reward rules are configured automatically. All smart contract complexity is handled for you.
Rewards are distributed in real-time, automatically. With every single trade that happens for your token, 0.30% of the trade value is instantly allocated to the reward pool and distributed proportionally to all current holders. There is no waiting period or manual trigger required.
The automatic distribution for creator and holder rewards (the 0.60% total fee) continues to function as designed. Additionally, Spawned implements a 1% protocol fee via the Token-2022 standard after graduation. This is a separate, perpetual fee that supports the platform, while your community continues to earn its 0.30% share.
No, the fee structure for your token—including the 0.30% creator fee and the 0.30% holder reward fee—is immutable once the token is created on-chain. This guarantees transparency and trust for your community, as the rules cannot be changed later.
Yes, the AI website builder is included with your token launch for the standard 0.1 SOL fee. This saves you the typical monthly cost of $29 to $99 for website builders, hosting, and domain services. You get a professional site to promote your token at no ongoing subscription cost.
The key difference is the sustainable reward model. While some platforms charge 0% fees, they also provide no built-in mechanism to reward holders. Spawned's 0.30% holder reward creates a direct incentive for people to hold your token, which can lead to a more stable and committed community. You also get a website builder included.
You need a Solana wallet (like Phantom) with some SOL for the 0.1 SOL launch fee and a small amount for initial transaction gas. You should also have a basic idea for your token's name, symbol, and purpose to input into the AI builder. No other technical preparation is needed.
