The Problem
Traditional solutions are complex, time-consuming, and often require technical expertise.
The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why a Token-Based Charity Platform Works
A token transforms one-time donors into a permanent funding community.
For creators building a charity or social impact platform, a Solana token is the most effective tool for aligning incentives, ensuring transparent funding, and building a sustainable community. Unlike traditional donation drives, a token creates a permanent economic engine where every transaction contributes to the cause and rewards supporters.
Platforms like Spawned provide the necessary infrastructure: a token launchpad with built-in fee mechanisms and an AI website builder to present your mission. This model turns passive donors into active stakeholders, fostering a more engaged and long-term community for your charitable work. The 0.30% creator fee per trade provides a predictable, automated revenue stream, while the 0.30% holder reward incentivizes people to hold and support your token's ecosystem.
Traditional Fundraising vs. Token-Based Platform
Traditional Charity Model:
- Funding: Reliant on sporadic campaigns, grants, or large donors. Cash flow is inconsistent.
- Costs: Requires separate payment processors (2.9% + $0.30 fees), website hosting ($29-99/month), and marketing budgets.
- Donor Engagement: Low; donors give once and often forget. No ongoing connection.
- Transparency: Manual reporting required; trust is based on reputation.
Token-Based Creator Platform:
- Funding: Automated 0.30% fee on every token trade. Creates a perpetual, decentralized funding model.
- Costs: Launch fee of 0.1 SOL (~$20) includes token and AI-built website. No monthly website fees.
- Supporter Engagement: High. Holders earn 0.30% rewards, aligning their success with the platform's. They become community advocates.
- Transparency: All transactions are on the Solana blockchain, publicly verifiable in real-time.
The key difference is sustainability. A token platform builds an asset that funds the cause through its own economic activity, not just donor goodwill.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Charity Creator Platform
From concept to sustainable funding in five structured steps.
Follow these steps to create and launch your charity-focused token platform on Spawned.
- Define Your Cause & Tokenomics: Decide the charitable cause (e.g., clean water, education). Plan your token's initial supply and how the 0.30% creator fee will be used (e.g., 0.25% to charity, 0.05% to platform ops).
- Create Token & Website on Spawned: Connect your Solana wallet, pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee, and use the AI builder to describe your charity platform. The AI generates your website with pages for your mission, tokenomics, and donation tracker.
- Configure Fees & Rewards: In the Spawned dashboard, set the 0.30% creator fee address (e.g., a multi-sig wallet for transparency) and enable the 0.30% holder reward distribution. This is automatic from launch.
- Graduate to Token-2022: Once your token gains traction, use Spawned's graduation feature to mint it as a Token-2022 token. This enables a perpetual 1% transfer fee, securing long-term funding for your charity.
- Promote & Build Community: Share your platform's site and token address. Explain the dual-benefit model: supporting the cause and earning holder rewards. Use the transparency of blockchain as a key trust message.

Structuring Tokenomics for Maximum Social Impact
The success of a charity token hinges on a tokenomic structure that balances funding the cause, rewarding supporters, and maintaining a healthy token economy.
The Core Mechanism: The 0.30% fee on every trade is your operational engine. For example, if your token achieves $100,000 in daily trading volume, that generates $300 daily for your cause—automatically and transparently on-chain. This is far more efficient than traditional fundraising's high overhead.
Holder Rewards as a Growth Tool: The parallel 0.30% reward to holders is what differentiates this model. It turns speculation into aligned, long-term support. A holder isn't just hoping the token price rises; they are directly earning a share of the platform's activity, which is tied to the success of the charity. This creates a powerful viral loop: more support drives more volume, which increases rewards and funding.
Long-Term Security with Token-2022: Post-graduation, the 1% perpetual transfer fee (using Solana's Token-2022 program) acts as an endowment. It ensures the charity receives funding even during low-volume periods, providing financial stability that most non-profits struggle to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions
A one-time donation is a single transaction. A charity token creates an ongoing economic relationship. Every time the token is traded, your cause earns a 0.30% fee. This turns a community of donors into a permanent, automated funding source. Supporters also earn 0.30% rewards for holding, which aligns their success with the platform's growth and sustainability.
Yes, due to the efficiency of blockchain. For example, $50,000 in daily trading volume generates $150 per day, or $4,500 per month, directly to your cause with near-zero overhead. Traditional fundraising can lose 20-30% to payment processing, platform fees, and marketing. Here, the fee is small per transaction but scales automatically with your community's activity.
You must consult a legal professional. Generally, you must be transparent that the token is a utility/community asset, not a security or a direct equity share in the charity. Clearly communicate how fees are used. Using a dedicated, publicly visible wallet for the 0.30% creator fees is critical for trust and auditability. The token funds the platform that supports the charity; it is not the charity itself.
Yes. The AI builder on Spawned provides a complete, professional starting point. You then have full access to edit text, images, colors, and layout to match your charity's specific branding and messaging. This gives you a custom site without the typical $29-99 monthly subscription fee of website builders.
Graduation mints your token using Solana's Token-2022 program, which enables advanced features like permanent transfer fees. For a charity platform, this is vital. You can set a 1% fee on all future transfers. This creates a sustainable, long-term 'endowment' that continues to fund your cause regardless of trading volume on specific markets, ensuring financial stability.
The rewards are distributed automatically and in real-time through the token's smart contract on Spawned. A portion of the 0.30% fee from every buy and sell transaction is distributed proportionally to all current token holders. You don't need to run any manual processes; the system handles it on-chain, and holders see their token balance increase automatically.
