Why Low Volume Is a Problem You Need to Solve
Low volume isn't just a number—it's a barrier to growth.
When your token has low trading volume, it enters a negative cycle. Exchanges and tracking sites rank tokens by volume, so low activity means your project gets buried. This reduces discovery, making it harder for new buyers to find you. More critically, low volume often means shallow liquidity. Even small sell orders can cause significant price drops, scaring away potential investors who fear they can't exit easily. Addressing low volume isn't just about price; it's about project survival and building a credible, tradable asset. A token with consistent volume signals an active community and a project with ongoing development, which is crucial for long-term success on fast-moving chains like Solana.
3 Common Causes of Low Token Volume (And How to Fix Them)
Identifying the root cause is the first step to boosting volume. Here are the most frequent issues creators face.
For a deeper look at launching effectively, see our guide on how to launch a gaming token on Solana.
- No Ongoing Incentive to Hold: If token holders gain nothing from keeping their tokens, they have no reason not to sell. This creates constant sell pressure with no counterbalancing buy pressure. Fix: Implement a reward system. Spawned automatically allocates 0.30% of every trade to holders, creating a direct financial incentive to hold and trade.
- Lack of Visibility and Updates: A token launched and then abandoned on social media quickly fades. Newcomers have no central hub to learn about the project. Fix: Build a permanent home. Spawned's included AI website builder gives you a professional site to post updates, roadmap progress, and tokenomics, which builds trust and gives the community a reason to stay engaged.
- Insufficient Liquidity & High Fees: If the initial liquidity pool is too small or if trading fees are punitive, people won't trade. Some platforms offer zero fees but provide no sustainable model for the creator. Fix: Balance fair fees with deep liquidity. Spawned's 0.1 SOL launch fee helps ensure initial liquidity, while the 0.30% creator fee is low enough to not deter trading but provides you revenue to fund marketing and development.
How Spawned's Structure Fights Low Volume from the Start
Your launchpad's architecture can pre-solve volume issues.
Many launchpads focus only on the initial launch. Spawned is built to support your token's lifecycle, with features that directly combat the causes of low volume.
| Feature | Typical Launchpad (e.g., pump.fun) | Spawned.com | Benefit for Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue | 0% after launch | 0.30% of every trade | You earn SOL continuously to fund marketing, contests, and development that drive activity. |
| Holder Rewards | Rarely built-in | 0.30% of every trade | Creates a built-in buy-and-hold incentive, reducing sell pressure and encouraging trading. |
| Post-Launch Website | Costs extra ($29-99/month) | AI Website Builder Included | A free, permanent home for your project builds credibility and a hub for announcements that spark trading. |
| Long-Term Fee Model | None after graduation | 1% fee via Token-2022 | Guarantees you have resources to maintain and grow the project long after the initial hype. |
This built-in economic model turns every trade into a small engine for growth, rather than a zero-sum event.
Your 5-Step Plan to Increase Token Volume
Turn planning into action with this sequential guide.
Follow this concrete plan to systematically build trading activity. Consistency is key.
- Audit Your Current State: Check your token's page on DexScreener or Birdeye. Note the 24-hour volume, number of holders, and liquidity depth. This is your baseline.
- Activate Holder Rewards: If you launched on Spawned, this is already live. If not, communicate clearly to your community how holding benefits them. Consider setting up a manual reward pool or staking system.
- Deploy Your AI Website: Use your Spawned site to post a clear "Volume Growth Plan." Outline upcoming milestones, partnership announcements, or community events. Pin this to your Twitter/Discord. A dedicated site adds immense legitimacy.
- Run a Targeted Incentive Campaign: Use a portion of your 0.30% creator fee earnings to fund a trading competition or a limited-time increased holder reward. Announce it exclusively on your website and social channels.
- Deepen Liquidity Strategically: Use earnings to gradually add to the liquidity pool. Even small, regular additions signal long-term commitment and make larger trades possible without major price impact, encouraging more activity.
The Verdict: Sustainable Volume Requires Built-In Incentives
Trying to boost volume with one-off marketing after a launch is an uphill battle. The most effective approach is to launch with a structure that generates volume organically. Platforms that take 0% fees leave you with no ongoing resources, while platforms with high fees stifle trading. Spawned strikes a balance: the 0.30%/0.30% fee/reward model is low enough to encourage trading but creates a powerful economic loop that benefits both creator and holder. When you combine this with the credibility of a dedicated website (saving you $350+ per year), you have a foundation for sustainable growth, not just a temporary pump. For creators serious about building a lasting token, this integrated approach is the most reliable path to maintaining healthy volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some strategies, like announcing a trading competition on your new website, can generate a volume spike within 24-48 hours. However, building consistent, sustainable volume is a process. The structural benefits of Spawned's holder rewards begin working immediately with every trade. Expect to see a gradual upward trend in baseline volume over 2-4 weeks as incentives compound and your project's credibility grows with its dedicated web presence.
Yes, because it's perpetual and automatic. While 0.30% per trade may seem small, it adds up significantly with volume. For a holder with 1% of the supply in a token doing $50,000 daily volume, that's about $1.50 earned per day just for holding—over $500 a year. This creates a tangible reason to hold and even buy more, directly countering sell pressure. It transforms the token from a speculative asset into one with a yield-generating utility.
Absolutely. The core principles—incentivizing holding, improving communication via a website, and using creator revenue to fund growth—apply to any token. You can manually set up reward systems or staking. The key advantage of having launched on Spawned is that these volume-boosting mechanics are automated and built into the token's contract from the start, saving you significant development time and cost.
A website acts as your project's permanent, trustworthy home. Social media posts disappear in feeds, but a website is always there for new investors to research. It hosts your exact token address, official links, and roadmap. This reduces scam risk and builds confidence, which is essential for someone to make their first trade. Spawned includes this tool because it directly impacts a project's perceived legitimacy and, therefore, its trading activity.
Liquidity is the amount of funds (SOL and your token) in the trading pool that allows trades to happen. Volume is the total value of tokens actually traded over a period. You need deep liquidity to support high volume without huge price swings. Low volume makes it hard to attract liquidity providers. Spawned's model helps both: the launch fee seeds initial liquidity, and the ongoing trading activity (volume) generates fees that can be used to grow liquidity further, creating a positive cycle.
The 1% fee, enabled via Solana's Token-2022 standard after your token graduates from the launchpad, provides a guaranteed, sustainable revenue stream. This isn't for short-term pumps. This revenue allows you to continuously fund development, partnerships, marketing campaigns, and community events years down the line. This capacity for long-term investment is what keeps a project relevant and its token actively traded, far beyond the initial launch phase.
