Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
The Verdict: Why a Dating Token Makes Sense in 2025
A token isn't just a fundraising tool; it's a new business model for social platforms.
For dating app creators, a dedicated token transforms users into stakeholders. Unlike traditional subscription models, a token allows for micro-transactions, community governance, and a shared incentive structure. On Spawned, the economics are clear: you keep 0.30% of every trade as creator revenue. This creates a sustainable income stream directly tied to platform activity, not just user sign-ups. Compared to launching on other networks, Solana's low fees make small, frequent transactions—like tipping a match or unlocking a profile feature—financially viable.
Traditional Dating App vs. Crypto-Enabled Model
Traditional Model: Revenue relies on ads or monthly subscriptions (e.g., $9.99/month). User growth is costly, and there's little incentive for users to promote the platform.
Crypto-Enabled Model: Revenue comes from a 0.30% fee on all token trades. Users can earn tokens through engagement (like completing profiles) and spend them on premium features. This aligns incentives:
- Creators earn ongoing revenue from a liquid asset.
- Active Users can earn tokens for valuable actions.
- Holders receive 0.30% of trade volume as rewards, encouraging long-term support. The key is using the token for specific utilities: purchasing 'Super Likes,' gifting 'Roses,' or paying for verified status. Learn about different token utilities.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Dating Platform Token
The entire launch process takes less than 10 minutes.
Follow these specific steps to create and configure your token on Spawned.
- Connect Wallet & Fund: Connect a Solana wallet (like Phantom) and ensure you have at least 0.15 SOL for the 0.1 SOL launch fee and initial liquidity.
- Define Token Details:
- Name & Symbol: Choose a clear name (e.g., 'DateDAO') and a 3-5 character symbol (e.g., 'DATE').
- Description: Explain your dating platform's vision and the token's use cases.
- Initial Supply: A standard start is 1,000,000,000 tokens. You can allocate a percentage for the community launch.
- Configure Tokenomics: This is critical. Set the buy/sell tax to 0%. On Spawned, the 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder rewards are built into the platform and do not require a tax.
- Use the AI Website Builder: Input your platform's concept. The AI will generate a landing page explaining your token, its use in the dating app, and how to connect. This is your immediate marketing site.
- Launch: Pay the 0.1 SOL fee and deploy. Your token is live, and your website is ready to share.
After Launch: Growing Your Dating Token Community
Launching is just the beginning. Your focus shifts to building utility and liquidity.
Phase 1: Initial Utility & Liquidity (Weeks 1-2)
- List Use Cases: Clearly state what the token does. Examples: '10 DATE tokens to send a priority message,' '1000 DATE for a monthly premium subscription.'
- Bootstrap Liquidity: Use a portion of the initial supply to create trading pairs. Encourage early supporters to provide liquidity; they'll earn a share of the 0.30% trading rewards.
- Promote the Website: Share your AI-generated Spawned site on social media. It acts as the central hub for information.
Phase 2: Integration & Graduation (Weeks 3-8)
- Develop Basic Integration: Start simple. Create a web page where users can connect wallets to 'stake' tokens for a premium status badge.
- Plan for Graduation: As volume grows, plan to 'graduate' from the launchpad. This moves your token to Raydium or Orca. Here, you enable the Token-2022 standard to lock in a 1% perpetual fee on all future trades, securing long-term revenue. See how gaming tokens handle this transition.
3 Effective Token Models for Dating Platforms
Not all dating tokens are the same. Your model dictates your strategy.
Choose a model that fits your platform's goals.
- The Utility Token: The token is strictly for in-app purchases. Price stability is ideal. Revenue comes from the 0.30% trade fee as tokens circulate between users and the platform's treasury. Best for: Niche dating apps with clear paid features.
- The Governance & Utility Token: Token holders vote on platform decisions (e.g., new feature rollouts, community guidelines). Holding tokens also grants access to premium tiers. This builds a strong, invested community. Best for: Community-focused or 'Date-to-Earn' concepts.
- The Reward Token: Users earn tokens for positive actions—completing a profile, verifying identity, going on a successful date. They can spend tokens or hold them to earn the 0.30% distribution from trades. Best for: Apps aiming to improve user quality and engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
The launch fee on Spawned is 0.1 SOL (approximately $20). This includes token creation and your AI-generated website. You should also budget a small amount of SOL for initial liquidity provision, which helps enable smooth trading from the start. There are no monthly fees for the website builder.
The 0.30% fee is automatically applied to every buy and sell transaction of your token on the Spawned platform. The fees accumulate in SOL and are claimable directly to your connected wallet. This happens in real-time as your community trades.
The 0.30% holder reward is an incentive for people to hold your token on the Spawned launchpad; it's distributed to all holders proportionally. The 1% fee is a separate, perpetual fee you can activate after you 'graduate' your token to a full decentralized exchange like Raydium using Solana's Token-2022 standard. This 1% is a creator revenue stream that continues indefinitely.
Absolutely. Integrating a token into an existing app is a powerful way to add a new monetization and engagement layer. You would launch the token on Spawned to establish its market and community, then use simple APIs to allow users to connect their wallets to your existing app to spend or earn tokens for in-app actions.
The token itself is just a tool; the value is in your execution, community, and platform. The AI website helps you quickly establish a professional presence and communicate your unique vision. Your focus should be on building real utility and a strong community around your specific brand, which is much harder to copy than a token contract.
The core launch process is similar. The key difference is in the tokenomics and use cases. Dating tokens often focus on social rewards, access gating, and micro-transactions for communication, whereas gaming tokens might reward in-game achievements or purchases. The economic model of earning 0.30% from all trades works effectively for both. [See the gaming token tutorial for comparison](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-solana).
