Holder Rewards Technical Deep Dive
How the accumulator pattern works, the math behind rewards, and how the smart contract handles it all.
Overview
Holder rewards on Spawned are distributed automatically from trading fees. Every buy and sell generates a 1.25% fee, of which 0.30% goes to token holders proportionally based on their holdings.
Fee Breakdown
When someone trades your token:
- 0.65% → Platform (Spawned)
- 0.30% → Creator (you)
- 0.30% → Holder rewards pool
Distribution Mechanism
Rewards are calculated based on your percentage of total supply held. If you hold 1% of tokens, you receive 1% of the holder rewards pool.
Example Calculation
Trade: 10 SOL buy Holder fee: 0.03 SOL (0.30%)
If you hold 100M tokens out of 1B total supply (10%):
- Your reward: 0.003 SOL
Claiming Rewards
Rewards accumulate in real-time and can be claimed at any time. There's no minimum claim amount, but consider gas costs when claiming small amounts.
Claim Process
- Go to token page
- Click "Claim Rewards"
- Confirm transaction
- SOL arrives in wallet
Technical Implementation
Spawned uses Token-2022's transfer fee extension for on-chain fee collection. Rewards are stored in a program-derived account and claimable via our smart contract.
Key Addresses
- Fee collection: Program-derived from token mint
- Reward distribution: Proportional snapshot at claim time
- No staking required: Simply holding tokens qualifies you
Maximizing Rewards
Hold more tokens - Rewards are proportional to holdings.
Hold longer - More time = more trades = more fees.
Support active tokens - Higher volume means more fees generated.
Tax Considerations
Holder rewards may be taxable income. Consult a tax professional for your jurisdiction. Spawned provides transaction history for your records.
