Make More as a Creator on Spawned

9 min readJanuary 14, 2026By Spawned Team

Creator fees, holder rewards, and other ways to earn. How the money flows and how to maximize it.

How Creator Economics Work

As a creator on Spawned, you earn from multiple sources:

  1. Creator fee - Percentage of every trade
  2. Your token holdings - If you hold tokens, you get holder rewards too
  3. Transfer fees - Post-graduation, fees on every transfer

Creator Fee Details

When someone buys or sells your token, you earn a cut. The exact percentage is set at launch.

If your fee is 2% and $10,000 in volume happens: $10,000 × 2% = $200 to you

Active tokens with high volume can generate significant passive income.

Maximizing Volume

More trading = more creator fees. How to increase volume:

Build something people use - Utility drives interest.

Keep shipping - New features create news cycles.

Engage community - Active communities trade more.

Marketing - More awareness = more participants.

Holding Your Own Token

You can hold tokens in your own project. Benefits:

  • Earn holder rewards
  • Show confidence to community
  • Align with holders

Risks:

  • Selling looks bad
  • You're exposed to price swings

Post-Graduation Earnings

After your token graduates to Raydium:

  • Transfer fees replace trading fees
  • 1% of every transfer goes to fee recipients
  • Still passive, just different mechanism

Tracking Earnings

Monitor your earnings through:

  • Spawned dashboard (creator stats)
  • On-chain analytics (wallet tracking)
  • Weekly/monthly summaries

Tax Considerations

Earnings are likely taxable income. Keep records:

  • Date of each earning
  • Amount in SOL and USD value at time
  • Type of earning (fee, reward)

Consult a tax professional. Crypto tax rules vary by country.

Reinvestment Strategy

What to do with earnings:

  • Reinvest in development
  • Hold in SOL or stablecoins
  • Diversify into other assets
  • Take some profits

Balance reinvestment with sustainability.
