Spawned vs Patreon: Token Launchpad vs Subscription Platform Features

Potentially, yes. Patreon offers predictable subscription revenue. Spawned revenue is tied to trading volume, which can fluctuate. However, it also offers upside potential from volume spikes and token price appreciation. The 0.30% holder reward also encourages holding, which can stabilize the base of supporters.

On Patreon, subscriptions typically cancel quickly if content stops. On Spawned, your token remains a tradable asset. If it has developed a strong community or utility, it may retain value. The 1% perpetual fee post-graduation could also provide ongoing revenue from any remaining trading activity, even at a reduced level.

Spawned's core product is the token launchpad and AI website builder. It does not replicate Patreon's full suite of integrated content tools (scheduled posts, video hosting, etc.). You use your Spawned-built website to host content and can use other Web3 tools for gated access, combining them with your token.

The 0.30% reward distributed to holders on every trade is automatic and built into the token's smart contract on Solana. Rewards are accrued in the token itself and are typically claimable by holders via the project's website or dashboard, providing a direct yield for holding.

You can run both simultaneously. Many creators use Spawned to offer a tokenized membership tier alongside traditional Patreon tiers. You can promote the token to your most engaged Patreon supporters as a new way to engage and have ownership. This lets you bridge your existing community into the Web3 model.

On Spawned, tokens initially launch with a standard Solana token contract. 'Graduation' is the process of migrating to Solana's newer Token-2022 standard, which enables advanced features like the perpetual 1% transfer fee. This fee goes to a creator-controlled treasury, providing a long-term, protocol-level revenue stream independent of the launchpad.
