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.
What is a Consulting Token?
Transform your knowledge into a liquid asset.
A consulting token is a digital asset you create to represent access to your expertise and services. Unlike traditional payment, it turns your knowledge into a tradable community asset.
Holders of your token might get benefits like:
- Discounted Rates: 20-50% off hourly or package rates.
- Exclusive Access: Entry to private group calls, early research, or a dedicated community channel.
- Governance: Voting on future content topics or service offerings.
- Revenue Sharing: A portion of your consulting fees distributed to token holders.
This model moves beyond one-off transactions, creating an ongoing relationship with your most engaged clients and followers. For a broader look at token types, see our guide on creating gaming tokens.
Why Launch a Consulting Token on Solana?
For consultants, Solana is the best network to launch your token. Transaction fees are less than $0.01, allowing clients to claim rewards or trade your token without cost being a barrier. Transactions confirm in seconds, providing a smooth experience.
A dedicated launchpad like Spawned provides the complete toolkit: token creation, initial liquidity, and an AI-powered website—all for a 0.1 SOL launch fee (~$20). After launch, you earn 0.30% of every secondary market trade as ongoing creator revenue. For comparison, platforms like pump.fun offer 0% creator fees post-launch.
The verdict: Solana's speed, low cost, and integrated launchpad features make it the practical choice for consultants entering the token space.
- < $0.01 transaction fees
- 2-second transaction finality
- 0.30% perpetual creator revenue
- Integrated AI website builder
How to Launch Your Consulting Token: Step-by-Step
Follow this process to go from idea to live token in under an hour.
- Define Token Utility: Decide the core benefits for holders (e.g., '30% off all strategy sessions'). Keep it simple and valuable.
- Set Initial Supply & Price: A common start is 1,000,000 tokens. Initial price is often set low (e.g., $0.01 per token) to allow early supporters to get in.
- Create on Launchpad: Go to Spawned.com, connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom), and use the token creation wizard. Name your token (e.g., 'JANE_ADVISORY'), add a description and logo.
- Build Your Site: Use the included AI website builder. Input your consulting niche and token benefits; it generates a professional landing page.
- Launch & Promote: For a 0.1 SOL fee, your token launches with initial liquidity. Share your new website and token address with your network, email list, and social media.
- Manage & Reward: Use the launchpad dashboard to track holders, volume, and revenue. Consider periodic airdrops to active community members.
Consulting Token Pricing & Value Models
Connect token holding to real financial benefits.
Your token's value should be tied to concrete benefits. Here are three effective models:
| Model | How It Works | Example Benefit | Potential Fee Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access Gated | Token required to book services or view content. | Hold 100 tokens to book a monthly 'Ask Me Anything' call. | N/A (Required for access) |
| Tiered Discount | Discount scales with number of tokens held. | 10 tokens = 10% off, 100 tokens = 25% off, 1000 tokens = 50% off. | 10% - 50% |
| Revenue Share | A % of consulting fees is used to buy back/burn tokens or reward holders. | 10% of monthly retainer income funds token buybacks. | Indirect (Value accrual) |
The Tiered Discount model is often most straightforward for clients to understand and provides clear utility.
Earn 0.30% Creator Revenue & Holder Rewards
The Spawned launchpad is built for sustainable creator economies. Here’s how you and your token holders earn:
- Creator Revenue: You earn 0.30% of every trade that happens on the secondary market, forever. If your token has $50,000 in daily volume, that's $150 per day in passive income.
- Holder Rewards: An additional 0.30% from every trade is distributed proportionally to all token holders. This rewards clients for holding your token long-term, aligning their success with yours.
- Post-Graduation: If your token grows significantly and 'graduates' to a larger exchange, a 1% fee on trades is maintained via Solana's Token-2022 standard, sustaining your revenue stream.
This mechanism turns your token's trading activity into a continuous funding source for your business and a loyalty program for your clients.
Your AI-Powered Token Website (Included)
Launch with a professional site at no extra cost.
Every token launch on Spawned includes an AI website builder, saving you $29-99/month on web hosting and design services.
What it creates for your consulting token:
- Professional Landing Page: Clear explanation of your token's utility and benefits.
- Live Token Metrics: Embedded widget showing real-time price, market cap, and number of holders.
- Easy Purchase Flow: Integrated interface for visitors to buy your token directly with SOL.
- Bio & Contact Section: To showcase your expertise and background.
You don't need coding skills. Input your consulting focus (e.g., 'marketing strategy for Web3 startups'), and the AI generates copy and a layout tailored to your niche.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if structured correctly. Your token should provide clear utility (like service discounts), not be marketed as a financial investment or security. It's essentially a digital membership or discount club. Always clarify that token value can fluctuate and is not a guarantee of profit. Consulting a legal professional familiar with crypto in your jurisdiction is recommended.
On Spawned, the launch fee is 0.1 SOL (approximately $20). This covers token creation, initial liquidity provision, and access to the AI website builder. There are no monthly fees. You will also need a small amount of SOL in your wallet to pay for blockchain transaction fees, which are typically less than $0.01 each.
A 0% creator fee platform (like pump.fun) means you earn nothing from secondary market trading of your token. Spawned's 0.30% fee means you earn a small percentage from every single buy and sell transaction forever. On $100,000 of trading volume, that's $300 in direct revenue to you, creating a sustainable income stream from your community's activity.
Start with your existing network. Offer your current clients or email list an early adopter rate or bonus. Clearly explain the tangible benefits: 'Buy 1000 tokens to lock in a permanent 40% discount on all future strategy sessions.' Use your new AI-built website as the hub for information and purchases. The value must be clear and compelling.
Yes, but the cost and speed differ significantly. Ethereum has high transaction fees ($10+), making small discounts or rewards impractical. [Base](use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-base) has lower fees than Ethereum but is generally higher than Solana. For a model based on frequent, small transactions and rewards, Solana's sub-$0.01 fees offer a major user experience advantage.
Holder rewards are a unique Spawned feature. An additional 0.30% is taken from every trade and automatically distributed to everyone holding your token, proportional to their share. If you hold 1% of all tokens, you get 1% of the 0.30% reward pool from each trade. This incentivizes long-term holding by your best clients.
No. The Spawned launchpad and AI website builder are designed for creators with no technical skills. The process is click-through and form-based. You define the token name, supply, and description, and the AI generates the website copy and layout. The entire process can be completed in under 10 minutes.
