Pool Share Guide: How Creator Fees & Holder Rewards Work
Pool Share is the financial model on Spawned.com that allocates trading fees to both token creators and holders. Creators earn 0.30% from every trade, while a matching 0.30% is distributed to token holders as ongoing rewards. This guide explains the mechanics, compares it to other launchpads, and shows how it builds sustainable token economies.
Key Points
- 1Creators earn 0.30% from every token trade on Spawned.
- 2Holders earn a matching 0.30% reward from the same fee pool.
- 3Post-graduation, a 1% perpetual fee is maintained via Token-2022.
- 4Spawned provides an AI website builder at no extra monthly cost.
- 5Launch fee is 0.1 SOL (~$20), with no revenue taken from creators.
Spawned Pool Share vs. Other Launchpads
A side-by-side look at where the value actually goes.
Understanding the Pool Share model requires comparing it to the alternatives. Most platforms adopt one of two extremes: taking all fees for themselves or offering zero fees to attract volume, which harms long-term project health.
| Feature | Spawned.com | pump.fun | Raydium (Post-Graduation) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% per trade | 0% | Varies (often 0%) |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% per trade | 0% | 0% |
| Platform Fee | 0% (on Pool Share) | 0% | ~0.25% LP fee |
| Post-Graduation Model | 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022 | N/A | Standard LP pool |
| Additional Tools | AI Website Builder (included) | Basic launch only | Launchpad required |
The key difference is sustainability. Spawned's model provides a direct, automated income stream for creators from day one, unlike platforms that offer no revenue. The holder reward is a unique feature that encourages community retention.
Creator Benefits & Real Examples
The 0.30% creator revenue might seem small, but it scales with volume. This is not hypothetical revenue; it's real SOL earned on every transaction.
- Passive Income Stream: Unlike a one-time mint, you earn SOL continuously as long as your token is traded. This funds development, marketing, and operations.
- Volume-Based Example: If your token achieves $100,000 in daily trading volume, the 0.30% creator fee generates $300 per day, or over $9,000 per month in SOL, paid directly to you.
- Alignment with Success: Your revenue grows exactly as your token's popularity and utility grows. There's no conflict; the platform's success is your success.
- No Hidden Platform Take: Spawned does not take a cut of this 0.30%. The launch fee (0.1 SOL) is the only cost, and you keep the AI website builder.
Why Holder Rewards Matter
Turning holders into earning partners, not just passengers.
The 0.30% holder reward is what makes the Spawned ecosystem unique. It directly addresses the biggest problem in meme and community tokens: sell pressure. Instead of holders constantly looking for an exit, they are incentivized to hold. Every trade that happens puts more SOL into their pockets. This transforms token holders from spectators into stakeholders with skin in the game. For a creator, this means a more stable, loyal community that is financially motivated to see the token succeed and trading volume increase, which in turn increases their own rewards. It's a positive feedback loop that builds lasting projects.
Life After Launch: The 1% Perpetual Fee
Your revenue model doesn't disappear when you leave the launchpad.
A common creator concern is what happens after their token 'graduates' from Spawned to a major DEX. On Spawned, graduation is not an endpoint for revenue. Using Solana's Token-2022 standard, creators can embed a 1% fee into the token's very code. This fee applies to every trade, forever, on any DEX that supports the standard (like Raydium). This 1% can be configured to continue funding the project and its community. For example, it could maintain a 0.50%/0.50% split between creator and holders, or be adjusted for treasury needs. This ensures the sustainable economy you built on Spawned continues indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Holder rewards are distributed automatically and continuously. The 0.30% fee from each trade is added to a reward pool. This pool is then distributed proportionally (pro-rata) to all token holders based on their balance at the time of distribution snapshots, which occur with each new block on the Solana blockchain. Rewards are typically claimable or auto-distributed directly to your wallet.
No. The 0.30% creator revenue goes entirely to the creator's wallet. The 0.30% for holder rewards goes entirely to the holder reward pool. Spawned's revenue comes from the initial 0.1 SOL launch fee and the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem, not from skimming creator earnings. This aligns our success with yours.
The Pool Share model is designed to continue post-graduation. Spawned utilizes Solana's Token-2022 program to embed a **1% perpetual fee** into your token's mint. This 1% fee is applied to all trades, on any supporting DEX like Raydium. The revenue from this 1% can be permanently directed to the creator and a holder reward pool, ensuring your sustainable income stream continues indefinitely.
The 0.60% total fee is applied to every trade, regardless of direction (buy or sell). The fee is deducted from the trader's output. For example, if you buy 1 SOL worth of tokens, you will receive slightly less than 1 SOL worth after the 0.60% fee is applied. This fee is then split, with 0.30% going to the creator and 0.30% going to the holder reward pool.
As a holder, you earn passive income in SOL for simply holding the token. Every time someone trades the token, a portion of the fee (0.30%) is distributed to all holders proportionally. This creates a real yield opportunity, incentivizing long-term holding and creating a more stable token price as holders are rewarded for maintaining their position instead of selling.
No hidden fees. The only cost to launch is the 0.1 SOL launch fee (approximately $20). This fee covers your token creation, initial liquidity pool, and lifetime access to the Spawned AI website builder, which would normally cost $29-99 per month elsewhere. You keep 100% of the 0.30% creator revenue and pay nothing extra for the holder reward system.
On the Spawned launchpad, the 0.30%/0.30% split is a standard, optimized feature designed for fairness and platform consistency. However, when you configure the **1% perpetual fee** for the post-graduation Token-2022 standard, you have full control over how that 1% is allocated (e.g., 0.70% to creator / 0.30% to holders, or other splits).
