Creator revenue on Spawned is a sustainable earnings model for token creators. It provides a 0.30% fee from every secondary market trade of your token, paid directly to you in SOL. This creates ongoing income as your community trades, unlike platforms that offer zero ongoing creator fees.

The Spawned Creator Revenue Model: Built for Sustainability
A dual-fee system that pays creators and rewards holders simultaneously.
The core of Spawned's creator revenue is a simple, automated fee structure applied to token transactions. When you launch a token on Spawned, a small percentage is taken from each buy and sell transaction on the secondary market. This fee is split: 0.30% goes directly to you, the creator, and another 0.30% is allocated to your token holders as a reward for holding. This model is designed to align creator success with holder loyalty, fostering a healthier token ecosystem from the start. It moves beyond the 'launch and abandon' model by providing a clear, perpetual incentive for creators to remain engaged with their project's growth.
How You Earn: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
From launch to ongoing earnings, here's how revenue flows to you.
Spawned vs. Pump.fun: A Creator Revenue Comparison
Why a 0% creator fee isn't a benefit—it's a missed opportunity.
| Feature | Spawned | Pump.fun |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| Creator Fee per Trade | 0.30% | 0% |\n| Holder Reward Fee | 0.30% (buyback & distribute) | None |\n| Post-Graduation Fees | 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022 | No ongoing creator revenue |\n| Launch Cost | 0.1 SOL + AI Website | Bonding Curve Model |\n| Ongoing Tool Cost | AI Website Builder Included ($29-99/mo value) | Requires separate website & hosting |\n\nThe critical difference is sustainability. Pump.fun offers no ongoing revenue stream for creators after launch. Spawned is built on the principle that creators should share in the ongoing success and trading activity of the tokens they create, providing a financial reason to nurture a project long-term.
Real-World Earnings Example
See the tangible difference a small percentage makes.
Let's assume you launch a token that gains traction. Over a week, it generates $500,000 in total trading volume.\n\nWith Spawned's 0.30% creator fee:\n- Your earnings = $500,000 * 0.003 = $1,500 in SOL.\n- Your holders also earn $1,500 worth of token rewards via the buyback mechanism.\n\nOn a platform with 0% creator fees: Your earnings from that same volume are $0.\n\nThis example shows how active trading directly translates to creator income. It incentivizes building a liquid, engaged community rather than just a one-time launch event.
How the 0.30% Holder Reward Benefits You
The 0.30% fee for holders isn't just good for them—it strategically benefits your project's health and, by extension, your revenue.
- Encourages Holding: The automatic buyback and distribution reward loyal holders, reducing sell pressure and promoting price stability.
- Builds Community Alignment: Holders feel invested in the token's trading activity, as they directly benefit from it. This can turn holders into promoters.
- Creates a Virtuous Cycle: A more stable and held token can attract more serious investors, potentially increasing trading volume over time, which increases your 0.30% creator fee earnings.
- Differentiates Your Token: In a crowded market, a built-in holder reward mechanism is a tangible utility you can promote from day one.
Life After Graduation: The Token-2022 Advantage
Your earnings don't end when you leave the launchpad.
Many launchpad revenue models stop when a token 'graduates' to its own site. Spawned uses Solana's Token-2022 standard to future-proof your earnings. When your token is ready to move to its own independent website, the fee structure doesn't vanish. Instead, it transitions to a configurable 1% fee on transfers, sustained by the token's own programmability. This means your revenue stream is designed to continue for the life of the token, not just its launch phase. It's a commitment to long-term creator empowerment built into the token's very code.

The included AI website builder also removes a significant ongoing operational cost.\n\nConsider other platforms only if your sole focus is a near-zero cost launch with no intention of maintaining or monetizing the token long-term.
