Quick Comparison
What is Automatic Token Distribution?
The foundation of efficient token management starts with understanding distribution automation.
Automatic token distribution refers to systems that send tokens to designated wallets based on predefined rules, without requiring manual intervention for each transaction. For token creators, this means setting up airdrops, team allocations, liquidity provider rewards, and community distributions that execute automatically according to your specifications.
Our platform integrates this functionality directly into the AI website builder, eliminating the need for separate distribution services that typically cost $29-99 per month. The system handles Solana's transaction speed and low fees, processing distributions in real-time as conditions are met.
Unlike manual distribution where you must sign and send each transaction individually, automatic systems use smart contracts to verify conditions and execute transfers. This reduces human error, ensures timely delivery, and provides transparent tracking for all participants. Learn about airdrops for more context on distribution types.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Follow these concrete steps to configure automatic distribution for your token project:
-
Access Distribution Settings: After creating your token via our launchpad (0.1 SOL fee), navigate to the 'Distribution' tab in your project dashboard.
-
Define Distribution Rules: Specify exact percentages for each category:
- Team & Advisors: Typically 15-20%
- Community Airdrop: 10-15%
- Liquidity Pool: 40-50%
- Treasury/Development: Remainder
-
Set Timing Parameters:
- Initial distribution: Immediate post-launch
- Vesting schedules: Linear unlocks over 6-24 months
- Cliff periods: 0-12 months for team allocations
-
Configure Wallet Addresses: Input receiving wallet addresses for each category. The system validates Solana addresses in real-time.
-
Review & Confirm: Final screen shows total distribution (must equal 100%) with estimated gas costs (approximately 0.001 SOL per distribution batch).
-
Activate Distribution: Click 'Enable Automatic Distribution' – the system begins processing immediately upon launch.
AI Builder vs. Manual Distribution Methods
Why choose an integrated solution over piecemeal tools?
| Feature | Our AI Builder Integration | Manual/External Services |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | 5-10 minutes | 1-3 hours + |
| Monthly Cost | Included ($0) | $29-99 + |
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% per trade | Varies (often 0%) |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% automatic distribution | Manual setup required |
| Post-Graduation Fees | 1% perpetual (Token-2022) | Additional setup needed |
| Real-time Updates | Yes, without pausing | Often requires contract pauses |
| Visual Interface | Drag-and-drop rule builder | Code-based configuration |
Our integrated approach means distribution rules connect directly to your token's website, creating a unified system. When holders visit your site, they can see distribution timelines and claim interfaces automatically. Manual methods require separate websites, distribution contracts, and claim portals – tripling your setup work.
The financial difference is substantial: external distribution services charge monthly fees, while our system includes everything for a single 0.1 SOL launch fee. Over a typical 6-month project lifecycle, this saves $174-594 in service fees alone.
Real Distribution Examples & Configurations
Here are specific configurations used by successful token projects:
-
Community-Focused Token:
- 50% to liquidity pool (locked for 12 months)
- 25% community airdrop (distributed over 30 days)
- 15% team (6-month cliff, 18-month linear vesting)
- 10% marketing treasury (immediate access)
-
Team-Heavy Project:
- 40% liquidity pool
- 30% team & advisors (12-month cliff, 24-month vesting)
- 20% strategic partners
- 10% community rewards
-
Fair Launch Model:
- 60% liquidity pool (fully locked)
- 40% community distribution (equal amounts to first 10,000 holders)
Each configuration automatically generates the corresponding smart contract code and distribution schedule. The system calculates that a project with 1,000 distribution addresses pays approximately 0.01 SOL in total gas fees for initial setup – compared to $50-200 for similar manual setups.
- Example 1 generated $2.4M in trading volume with 0.30% creator fees ($7,200 revenue)
- Example 2 distributed 15% of tokens to 50 team members automatically over 24 months
- Example 3's fair distribution attracted 8,500 holders in first week
How Distribution Affects Your Revenue
Distribution isn't just about giving tokens away – it's about building sustainable economics.
Your distribution strategy directly impacts the 0.30% creator revenue and 0.30% holder rewards. Properly distributed tokens with fair vesting schedules build trust, leading to higher trading volume and more sustainable rewards.
For example: A token with 1,000 holders and $100,000 daily volume generates $300 daily in creator fees (0.30%). Of this, $300 also goes to holder rewards distributed automatically. Poor distribution – like dumping large amounts on the market – typically reduces volume to $10,000 daily, cutting fees to $30.
The automatic system ensures holder rewards distribute proportionally based on holdings. If you hold 1% of total supply, you receive 1% of the 0.30% reward pool. This happens continuously without manual calculation or distribution.
Post-graduation to Token-2022, the 1% perpetual fee structure maintains this automated distribution. The system handles the transition automatically, unlike manual setups requiring contract migration and redistribution.
Common Distribution Mistakes & Solutions
Avoid these costly errors that new creators frequently make.
Mistake 1: Incorrect Wallet Addresses
- Problem: Sending tokens to wrong addresses burns them permanently
- Solution: Our system includes address validation and test transactions
Mistake 2: Uneven Vesting Schedules
- Problem: Team tokens vesting weekly while advisors vest monthly causes confusion
- Solution: Uniform schedule builder with visual timeline preview
Mistake 3: Gas Underestimation
- Problem: Distribution runs out of SOL for transaction fees
- Solution: Automatic gas calculation with 10% buffer built-in
Mistake 4: Missing Cliff Periods
- Problem: Team selling immediately after launch
- Solution: Default 6-month cliff recommendation with override options
Mistake 5: Poor Liquidity Allocation
- Problem: Too little liquidity causes high slippage
- Solution: Minimum 40% liquidity recommendation with locking guidance
