What Happens When Your Token Sale Finishes
The finish line is also the starting line.
The moment your token sale reaches its target or time limit, several automated processes begin. On Spawned, this triggers the deployment of all raised SOL into a liquidity pool paired with your new token. This pool is typically created on a decentralized exchange like Raydium or Orca. The token becomes instantly tradable. Simultaneously, the smart contract activates the reward mechanisms: 0.30% of every buy and sell transaction is distributed to existing token holders, and another 0.30% is sent to your creator wallet as ongoing revenue. This immediate liquidity and reward system is a core difference from platforms that leave creators to handle this phase manually.
Next Steps: From Liquidity to Listings
After the sale, your focus shifts from fundraising to market presence and growth.
Post-Sale Experience: Spawned.com vs. Other Launchpads
The launch is free; the aftermath is where costs and complexity appear.
Where platforms diverge most is after the sale completes. Here’s how the creator experience differs.
Spawned.com Post-Sale:
- Holder Rewards: Active immediately. 0.30% of every trade is redistributed.
- Creator Revenue: 0.30% per trade begins accruing with first post-launch swap.
- Graduation Path: Projects can graduate to use Token-2022 program for advanced features, enabling a perpetual 1% ecosystem fee.
- Included Tools: The AI website builder remains active, saving $29-99/month on web hosting and design costs.
Typical Launchpad Post-Sale:
- Holder Rewards: Often nonexistent or a complex add-on.
- Creator Revenue: May be zero (like pump.fun) or require custom, expensive smart contracts.
- Next Steps: Creator is often left to self-manage liquidity, listings, and website with separate tools and budgets.
- Ongoing Costs: Website, analytics, and community tools become out-of-pocket expenses.
Maximizing the 0.30% Holder Reward Advantage
The built-in holder reward is a powerful retention tool. Use it strategically.
- Communicate It Clearly: Make the 0.30% reward a central part of your post-launch messaging. It's a tangible reason to hold beyond speculation.
- Reward Long-Term Holders: Consider additional community initiatives (NFTs, access) for wallets that hold a minimum amount through specific milestones.
- Transparent Tracking: Use the Solana blockchain explorers to show reward distributions. Transparency builds trust in the mechanic.
- Integrate with Your AI Site: Use your Spawned AI website builder to create a live dashboard or section explaining the rewards, making the benefit visible to all visitors.
The Graduation Path: Evolving with Token-2022
Building for the long term requires a sustainable economic model.
For projects that grow beyond the initial launch phase, Spawned provides a graduation path to Solana's Token-2022 standard. This isn't mandatory but offers advanced functionality. The key feature is the ability to implement a 1% perpetual transfer fee on all transactions. This fee is distinct from the initial 0.30% creator revenue and 0.30% holder rewards. It's designed to fund ongoing development, marketing, or treasury functions for the project itself. Enabling this requires a conscious upgrade but creates a sustainable economic model for long-term project health, moving beyond reliance on the initial launch capital.
Post-Sale Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
Forewarned is forearmed.
Problem: Liquidity Dries Up Quickly. Solution: The initial sale liquidity is crucial. On Spawned, 100% of raise goes to LP. Avoid launching with an unrealistic high market cap that the raised SOL can't support. A smaller, solid pool is better than a large, thin one.
Problem: Community Disengages After Mint. Solution: Have your next phase of updates, partnerships, or product development ready to announce immediately post-sale. The AI website builder is perfect for hosting this roadmap. Transition from 'buy the token' to 'use the token' or 'govern the project'.
Problem: Missing the 0.30% Creator Revenue. Solution: This revenue stream starts automatically on Spawned. Plan for this income. Will it fund further development, marketing, or be held as treasury? Communicate this plan to holders.
Final Recommendation After Token Sale Completion
The best launchpads build a bridge, not just a launchpad.
A complete token sale is a milestone, not the finale. Your immediate priorities should be: 1) Secure and communicate liquidity status, 2) Pivot marketing to highlight live trading and holder rewards, and 3) Utilize your included tools like the Spawned AI website to maintain professional momentum without new costs. Platforms that offer ongoing revenue (like Spawned's 0.30%) and holder rewards provide a structural advantage for community retention compared to those that end support at launch. Focus on converting initial buyers into long-term community members through transparency and a clear vision for the next phase, funded by the sustainable model you've now activated.
Launch with a Plan for What Comes After
Don't just plan your token sale—plan for the moment it completes. With Spawned.com, your post-launch ecosystem, including holder rewards, creator revenue, and essential tools, is built-in from the start. Begin your project with a sustainable model for $20 (0.1 SOL) and an AI website builder included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Liquidity lock duration is configurable at launch but is a standard, recommended practice. A typical lock period ranges from 3 to 12 months. This information is verifiable on-chain and should be clearly stated in your project documentation. The lock prevents removal of the initial trading pool, a key trust signal for buyers.
The 0.30% creator revenue mechanism activates with the very first trade that occurs after your token sale completes and liquidity is created. The fees accrue in real-time and are sent directly to your designated creator wallet. You can track this income using any Solana blockchain explorer by viewing transactions for your token's mint address.
No, the holder reward rate is embedded in the token's smart contract at the time of creation on Spawned. It is a fixed feature designed for predictability and trust. This is why understanding this model before launch is critical. The separate 1% perpetual fee available via Token-2022 graduation is a configurable feature for a later project stage.
They are two separate mechanisms. The 0.30% holder reward is active immediately: it's taken from each trade and distributed proportionally to all current token holders. The 1% perpetual fee is a feature of the Token-2022 standard that projects can opt into later; this fee is typically directed to a project treasury or specific wallet to fund ongoing operations, not directly to holders.
No, the initial liquidity pool is created automatically using the SOL raised during the sale. Your role post-launch is primarily promotional and community-focused. However, you may choose to add more liquidity later from your creator revenue or treasury to deepen the pool and improve price stability, which is a manual action.
Yes. Access to and hosting for the AI-generated website you create during your Spawned launch process remains active after your token sale completes. There is no monthly fee ($0), whereas standalone website builders and hosting for similar sites typically cost $29 to $99 per month. This is an ongoing cost savings.
On Spawned, if a sale does not meet its predefined conditions (like a soft cap or time limit), the mechanism is typically configured to allow refunds. Contributors can reclaim their SOL, and the token is not launched. It's essential to set realistic funding goals and communicate the sale terms clearly to potential buyers beforehand.
