Spawned vs Pump.fun

9 min readJanuary 14, 2026By Spawned Team

We both launch tokens, but the approach is different. App-first vs meme coin focus.

Different Approaches

Pump.fun: Token launch platform focused on meme coins Spawned: App builder with integrated token launches

Pump.fun's Model

Create a token in seconds. No utility required. Pure speculation. Targets meme coin culture and viral moments.

Spawned's Model

Build an app first. Launch a token for your community. Token represents investment in something real. Focus on creators building products.

Key Differences

Utility

  • Pump.fun: Optional/rare
  • Spawned: Expected (the app)

Audience

  • Pump.fun: Traders, meme enthusiasts
  • Spawned: Builders, creators

Economics

  • Pump.fun: Bonding curve, graduation to Raydium
  • Spawned: Same, plus holder rewards, creator fees

Success rate

  • Pump.fun: Most tokens go to zero quickly
  • Spawned: Product gives reason to hold

When to Use Pump.fun

  • Meme coins
  • Quick experiments
  • Pure speculation plays
  • Viral moment capture

When to Use Spawned

  • You're building something
  • You want sustainable community
  • Creator economics matter
  • Long-term project

The Overlap

Both use bonding curves. Both graduate to Raydium. Both have trading fees. The mechanism is similar; the intention differs.

Can You Use Both?

Technically yes - build on Spawned, also launch on Pump.fun. But splitting attention usually weakens both.
