The High Cost of Ethereum Gas Fees and Unpredictable Tips
Ethereum's fee structure turns token launches into high-stakes gambling with your project budget.
Launching a token on Ethereum involves navigating volatile gas fees that can range from $10 to over $200 for a single transaction during network congestion. Beyond base fees, creators often face 'priority fees' or miner tips to ensure timely transaction processing. These unpredictable costs can consume a project's marketing budget before launch. For comparison, Solana transactions cost a fraction of a cent, with consistent performance regardless of network activity. Our analysis shows creators spend 300-500% more on Ethereum deployment and initial liquidity setup compared to Solana alternatives. How to create a gaming token on Ethereum details these cost challenges specifically for game developers.
Solana vs. Ethereum: Transaction Cost Breakdown
Direct comparison shows token creators can save over 99% on transaction costs by choosing Solana.
| Transaction Type | Ethereum Cost (Average) | Solana Cost (Average) | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token Deployment | $80-150 | $0.02-0.05 | 99.9% |
| Add Initial Liquidity | $120-250 | $0.10-0.20 | 99.8% |
| Airdrop 100 Wallets | $300-600 | $0.25-0.50 | 99.9% |
| Website Deployment | $50-100 (gas) + monthly fees | $0 (included with AI builder) | 100% |
These numbers represent real transaction data from January 2026. The Ethereum costs include base fees plus typical priority fees required for timely processing. Solana's consistent low costs enable creators to allocate resources to marketing and development instead of network fees. For gaming projects, these savings are crucial; how to launch a gaming token on Solana shows how low fees enable more frequent in-game token distributions.
How Spawned Solves the High Fee Problem for Creators
Our platform addresses high costs through multiple integrated solutions:
- Fixed 0.1 SOL Launch Cost: Equivalent to approximately $20, covering token creation, initial liquidity, and AI website generation with no hidden gas surprises.
- Included AI Website Builder: Valued at $29-99/month on other platforms, this eliminates ongoing developer expenses and deployment gas fees.
- 0.30% Creator Revenue Per Trade: Unlike pump.fun's 0% model, every transaction generates sustainable income without requiring high trading volumes to cover costs.
- 0.30% Holder Rewards: Matching creator revenue encourages community holding without expensive reward distribution transactions.
- Token-2022 Post-Graduation: Maintains 1% fees for project sustainability without the high gas costs of manual fee collection systems.

Revenue Model: Spawned vs. Traditional Platforms with High Fees
When accounting for gas fees, Spawned's model often produces higher net revenue despite lower percentages.
| Platform | Launch Cost | Creator Revenue % | Monthly Website Cost | Post-Launch Fees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spawned | 0.1 SOL (~$20) | 0.30% per trade | $0 (AI builder included) | 1% via Token-2022 |
| Ethereum Launchpad | $500-2000+ (gas) | 0.25-1.0% | $29-99 + deployment gas | 2-5% + gas fees |
| pump.fun | 0.02-0.05 SOL | 0% | $0 (basic page only) | Varies |
| Traditional Web2 | $1000-5000 dev | N/A | $50-200/month | N/A |
The 0.30% creator revenue may seem lower than some Ethereum platforms, but consider: Ethereum's 1% fee on a $10,000 trade nets $100 minus $50 gas = $50 net. Spawned's 0.30% on the same trade nets $30 minus $0.00025 gas = $29.99 net. The difference becomes negligible while avoiding upfront gas risk. Compare launchpads for more detailed platform analysis.
Final Recommendation for Avoiding High Fees
Choose Solana and Spawned for predictable costs and sustainable revenue—avoid Ethereum's gas fee lottery.
For creators prioritizing budget predictability and sustainable revenue, launching on Solana via Spawned provides the most cost-effective solution. The combination of Solana's low network fees (99.9% cheaper than Ethereum) and our all-inclusive platform (AI website builder + 0.30% creator revenue) eliminates the two largest cost barriers in token creation. While platforms like pump.fun offer lower upfront costs, their 0% creator revenue model requires massive trading volume to generate income. Our 0.30% model with holder matching creates sustainable projects without relying on extreme speculation. The 0.1 SOL launch fee represents approximately 1-2% of typical Ethereum deployment costs, freeing resources for marketing and development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Based on January 2026 averages: Token deployment saves $80-150, initial liquidity saves $120-250, and airdrops save $300-600 per 100 wallets. Total savings typically range from $500 to $1,000+ for a complete launch. These are conservative estimates that don't include the time cost of waiting for lower gas periods on Ethereum.
Even during peak congestion, Solana fees rarely exceed $0.01 per transaction—still 99% cheaper than Ethereum's normal operating fees. Our platform uses priority fee optimization to ensure your launch transactions proceed smoothly without the extreme spikes common on Ethereum.
Yes. While individual trade sizes might be smaller, Solana's higher transaction throughput means more frequent trades. The 0.30% rate applied to more frequent trading often exceeds 1% rates on slower networks when accounting for gas costs. Our model also includes holder rewards that encourage longer-term holding and stability.
While direct migration isn't automatic, you can launch a new version on Solana through our platform and airdrop to existing holders. The cost for a 1,000 holder airdrop is approximately $2.50 on Solana vs. $3,000-6,000 on Ethereum. Many projects maintain both chains but direct new activity to Solana for cost efficiency.
Layer 2 solutions like Base offer lower fees than Ethereum mainnet, but still range from $0.10 to $2.00 per transaction versus Solana's $0.00025. They also require bridging assets and introduce complexity. For pure cost efficiency and simplicity, Solana remains the leader. [How to create a gaming token on Base](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-base) details the L2 tradeoffs.
Professional token website development typically costs $2,000-5,000 upfront plus $50-200/month hosting. Our AI builder creates a comparable site in minutes with no upfront cost, no monthly fees, and no gas fees for deployment updates. This represents $29-99/month in direct savings plus thousands in avoided development costs.
There's no catch—the fee covers our infrastructure costs on Solana's low-fee network. Unlike Ethereum platforms that must charge more to cover their gas costs, we pass Solana's efficiency to creators. The fee includes token creation, initial liquidity setup, and AI website generation with no additional costs until you graduate to Token-2022 (which maintains your 1% fee structure).
The 0.30% holder rewards are automatically distributed via the token's transfer hook mechanism on Solana, costing mere fractions of a cent per distribution. Compare this to Ethereum where reward distributions can cost $50-100 in gas per event. This efficiency enables frequent, small rewards that encourage community engagement without budget strain.
