Why Poor Tokenomics Fail: The Core Problems
Understanding the specific flaws in token design is the first step toward fixing them.
Most token projects fail because of fundamental flaws in their economic design. The most common issues include zero creator revenue models, no ongoing holder incentives, and unsustainable post-launch structures. For example, platforms like pump.fun offer 0% creator revenue, forcing creators to rely solely on their initial token allocation. This creates immediate selling pressure and weakens the project's foundation. Without built-in mechanisms for ongoing rewards, holders have little reason to stay invested long-term. Projects that graduate to DEXs often lose all revenue streams entirely, leaving creators with no way to fund development or marketing. Spawned addresses these specific poor tokenomics problems with structured solutions.
The Verdict: Spawned's Built-In Tokenomics Boost
For creators struggling with poor tokenomics, Spawned provides the most comprehensive solution. The platform's dual approach—combining a Solana launchpad with an AI website builder—addresses both economic and presentation flaws simultaneously. Unlike platforms that offer zero creator revenue, Spawned ensures 0.30% per trade goes directly to creators from day one. Simultaneously, 0.30% rewards holders automatically, creating immediate incentives for long-term participation. The Token-2022 integration guarantees that 1% perpetual fees continue even after graduation to Raydium, solving the common problem of revenue disappearing post-launch. With a launch fee of just 0.1 SOL (~$20) and included website builder saving $29-99/month, the barrier to implementing proper tokenomics is significantly reduced.

4 Steps to Boost Poor Tokenomics on Spawned
Transforming poor tokenomics into sustainable models requires specific, actionable steps.
Fixing poor tokenomics doesn't require complex coding or expensive consultants. Follow these concrete steps to implement sustainable token models using Spawned's platform.
Step 1: Launch with Built-In Revenue Streams
Begin by creating your token through Spawned's launchpad. The platform automatically configures 0.30% creator revenue and 0.30% holder rewards per trade. This establishes immediate economic incentives without requiring custom smart contract development.
Step 2: Configure Token-2022 for Post-Graduation
During launch setup, enable Token-2022 extensions. This ensures your 1% perpetual fees remain active even after your token graduates to Raydium or other DEXs. This solves the common problem of revenue streams disappearing post-launch.
Step 3: Build Your Project Website with AI
Use the included AI website builder to create a professional project site. This saves $29-99/month compared to alternatives like Webflow or Squarespace, allowing you to allocate more resources to token development and marketing.
Step 4: Communicate Your Improved Tokenomics
Leverage your new website to clearly explain your token's economic model to potential holders. Highlight the 0.30% holder rewards and sustainable revenue structure to build trust and attract long-term participants.

Direct comparison reveals why Spawned's approach solves specific poor tokenomics problems.
Understanding how Spawned's approach differs from other platforms reveals why it's more effective at addressing poor tokenomics.
| Feature | Spawned | pump.fun | Traditional Launchpads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% per trade | 0% | Varies, often complex setup |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% automatic | None | Rarely included |
| Post-Graduation Fees | 1% perpetual (Token-2022) | None | Usually disappear |
| Website Builder | Included (AI-powered) | Not included | Additional cost |
| Launch Cost | 0.1 SOL (~$20) | ~1-2 SOL | Often $500+ |
This comparison shows Spawned provides multiple revenue streams where competitors offer none. The 0.30% creator revenue ensures you can fund ongoing development, while the 0.30% holder rewards create sustainable participation incentives. The Token-2022 integration is particularly important—it guarantees your 1% fees continue working even after moving to larger DEXs, preventing the common "revenue cliff" many projects experience.
Case Study: Fixing Gaming Token Tokenomics
Real-world examples show how Spawned transforms problematic token models.
Consider a gaming token launched with poor tokenomics: zero creator revenue, no holder rewards, and no post-launch sustainability plan. The creator must sell their initial allocation to fund development, creating immediate downward pressure. Holders have no incentive to stay beyond speculative trading.
Using Spawned, the same gaming token implements 0.30% creator revenue from every trade, providing ongoing development funding without requiring massive initial sales. The 0.30% holder rewards automatically distribute to participants, creating reasons to hold beyond speculation. The Token-2022 setup ensures 1% fees continue when the token graduates to Raydium, funding tournaments, updates, and community events long-term.
The included AI website builder saves $29-99/month compared to alternatives, allowing those funds to be redirected toward game development or marketing. For gaming projects specifically, this approach transforms poor tokenomics into a sustainable ecosystem where creators, holders, and players all benefit.

Cost Savings: Turning Poor Tokenomics into Value
Proper tokenomics implementation doesn't just fix problems—it creates tangible financial benefits.
Implementing proper tokenomics with Spawned creates multiple layers of financial efficiency:
-
Website Builder Savings: The included AI website builder eliminates $29-99/month in ongoing costs. Over a year, this saves $348-1,188 that can be reinvested in your project.
-
Reduced Launch Costs: At 0.1 SOL (~$20), Spawned's launch fee is significantly lower than alternatives. Traditional launchpads often charge $500+ for similar functionality.
-
Automatic Revenue Streams: The 0.30% creator revenue begins immediately without requiring custom development. Building similar functionality independently could cost thousands in development fees.
-
Sustainable Post-Launch Model: Token-2022 integration ensures 1% perpetual fees continue post-graduation. Without this, projects typically lose all revenue streams when moving to DEXs.
-
Holder Retention Benefits: The 0.30% holder rewards reduce selling pressure and increase long-term participation. This indirectly saves marketing costs by creating organic holder advocates.
These savings and benefits directly address the financial shortcomings of poor tokenomics, turning weak economic models into sustainable systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Poor tokenomics refer to weak or unsustainable economic models in cryptocurrency projects. Common examples include zero creator revenue (forcing founders to sell their tokens), no ongoing holder incentives, disappearing revenue post-launch, and excessive inflation or token dumping. These flaws lead to projects failing despite having good ideas or technology.
The 0.30% creator revenue per trade provides immediate, sustainable funding without requiring massive token sales. Unlike platforms offering 0% creator revenue, this allows creators to fund development, marketing, and operations from trading activity. This reduces initial selling pressure and creates a more stable token price foundation from launch.
Holder rewards are automatic distributions to token holders—Spawned provides 0.30% per trade. These rewards incentivize long-term holding rather than speculative trading. In poor tokenomics models, holders have no reason to stay beyond price speculation. Rewards create ongoing participation incentives, reducing volatility and building stronger communities.
Token-2022 is a Solana program that enables extended token functionality. Spawned uses it to ensure 1% perpetual fees continue working even after tokens graduate to Raydium or other DEXs. Without this, most projects lose all revenue streams post-graduation—a common poor tokenomics problem. This guarantees ongoing funding for development and operations.
For tokens already launched with poor tokenomics, options are limited but exist. You cannot change fundamental token parameters after launch, but you can implement additional reward systems, create buyback mechanisms, or migrate to a new token with proper economics. Prevention is better than cure—launching with proper tokenomics from the start using platforms like Spawned avoids these problems entirely.
Implementing comprehensive tokenomics on Spawned costs just 0.1 SOL (approximately $20). This includes the 0.30% creator revenue setup, 0.30% holder rewards configuration, Token-2022 integration for post-graduation fees, and the AI website builder. Compared to custom development or traditional launchpads charging $500+, this represents significant savings while providing superior functionality.
The key difference is sustainable revenue models. pump.fun offers 0% creator revenue and no holder rewards, creating poor tokenomics by design. Spawned provides 0.30% creator revenue, 0.30% holder rewards, and 1% perpetual post-graduation fees via Token-2022. Additionally, Spawned includes an AI website builder saving $29-99/month, while pump.fun requires separate website development.
Yes, many projects have migrated from poor to sustainable tokenomics. Successful fixes typically involve implementing automatic reward systems, creating sustainable revenue streams, and ensuring post-launch functionality. Gaming tokens have particularly benefited—projects that added holder rewards and creator revenue saw increased community engagement and longer token holder retention. The key is implementing these features from launch using platforms designed for proper tokenomics.
