Enhance Scam Prevention with Verifiable Solana Tokens
Scam prevention is a major challenge for crypto creators. By launching a token with built-in, transparent creator revenue and holder rewards, you can build immediate trust. This guide explains how to use Solana's Token-2022 standard and specific launchpad features to create a token that actively demonstrates legitimacy and long-term commitment.

The Core Problem: Earning Trust in a High-Risk Space
Your community shouldn't have to guess if you're legitimate.
For creators entering the crypto space, the single biggest barrier isn't technology—it's trust. Potential supporters are constantly filtering out scams, making it difficult for legitimate projects to gain traction. Standard tokens offer no inherent proof of good intent. A creator's promises are just words without a mechanism that financially aligns their success with the community's. This is where a structured token launch with built-in transparency becomes a powerful tool for scam prevention. It moves the conversation from 'trust me' to 'here is the verifiable system'.
The Solution: Launch a Token with Built-In Transparency
To effectively enhance scam prevention, launch your token on a Solana launchpad that uses the Token-2022 standard and enforces transparent fee structures. This approach embeds proof of long-term intent directly into the token's smart contract. The key is not avoiding fees, but using them strategically to signal commitment. A token with a permanent, small creator fee (like 1% via Token-2022) is more trustworthy than a 'zero-fee' token, because it shows the creator plans to be involved for the long haul. Combine this with immediate holder rewards to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem from the start.
- Permanent Fees Signal Permanence: A 1% perpetual fee post-graduation proves you're not planning a quick exit.
- Holder Rewards Build Alliance: Distributing 0.30% of every trade to holders aligns your community's success with yours.
- Upfront Costs Show Commitment: A reasonable launch fee (e.g., 0.1 SOL) filters out unserious, copy-paste projects.
How Different Launch Models Affect Trust
Trust is built through verifiable actions, not promises.
Not all token launches send the same signals. A basic launch on a platform with no ongoing structure can appear identical to a scam. A structured launch with clear economics is a demonstrable act of good faith.
| Feature | Basic/Anonymous Launch (High Risk) | Structured Spawned Launch (Trust-Building) |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue | Often hidden or extracted via dumping. | Transparent 0.30% per trade, then 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022. Verifiable on-chain. |
| Holder Incentives | None. Community gain relies solely on price speculation. | 0.30% of every trade distributed to holders automatically. Creates ongoing reward. |
| Post-Launch Proof | Token contract can be abandoned or replaced with a malicious copy. | Token-2022 enables permanent metadata and transfer hooks, locking in the original contract's rules. |
| Project Legitimacy | Relies on social media promises. | Includes a professional AI-built website, adding a layer of tangible, functional proof. |
5 Steps to Launch a Trust-Focused Token
A trustworthy launch is a deliberate process.
Follow this process to create a token that actively works to prevent being perceived as a scam.
- Choose a Platform with Token-2022: Select a Solana launchpad that supports the Token-2022 standard. This is non-negotiable for enabling permanent fee structures and advanced metadata that prevent contract spoofing.
- Set Your Transparent Fees: Configure your token with a 0.30% creator fee and a 0.30% holder reward fee from launch. This is your first, on-chain statement of fair economics.
- Commit to the Long Term: Plan for the 'graduation' phase where your token moves to its own liquidity pool. Here, implement a 1% perpetual creator fee using Token-2022. This fee is a powerful signal that you intend to maintain and develop the project.
- Build Your Proof Hub: Use the included AI website builder (saving $29-99/month) to create a professional home for your project. Publish your tokenomics, roadmap, and the verifiable on-chain details of your fee structure here.
- Communicate the Structure: Clearly explain to your community how your token's built-in mechanics prevent rug pulls and ensure fair rewards. Point them to the on-chain data and your website as proof.
Key Features That Directly Prevent Common Scams
These specific technical and economic features address known scam vectors head-on.
- Permanent Metadata (Token-2022): Prevents someone from creating a fake token with the same name and symbol after yours gains popularity. Your original contract is cryptographically verifiable.
- Transfer Hooks (Token-2022): Allows for logic to be executed on every token transfer. This can be used to enforce fee schemes (like the holder reward) permanently, making it impossible to remove them later in a 'rug pull'.
- Verifiable 0.30% Creator Fee: Unlike hidden insider wallets, this small, continuous revenue stream is transparent on every trade. It shows you are building a sustainable project, not plotting a one-time exit.
- Automatic Holder Rewards: The 0.30% reward distributed to all holders on every trade discourages pump-and-dump schemes. It incentivizes holding and community stability, which is antithetical to scam behavior.
- Included AI Website Builder: A scam project rarely invests in a legitimate, functional website. Having a professional site adds a layer of accountability and a central source of truth, which scams typically avoid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Transparent, reasonable fees make your token *more* attractive to serious investors. A 0.30% fee is minimal for traders but proves you have a sustainable model. A 'zero-fee' token often raises red flags, as it suggests the creator plans to profit through hidden means like dumping their own supply. The 1% perpetual fee post-graduation is a strong signal of long-term commitment, which builds deeper trust.
Holder rewards change the community's incentive structure. In a typical scam, creators pump the token and then sell, leaving holders with losses. With a 0.30% reward on every trade, holders benefit from trading volume, not just price spikes. This encourages holding and stabilizes the community, making the token resistant to the pump-and-dump patterns common in scams. It aligns everyone's interests.
While possible, it becomes economically and practically illogical. Implementing permanent fees (Token-2022) and holder rewards removes the high-profit, quick-exit incentive of a scam. The upfront cost (0.1 SOL + effort) and the commitment to a perpetual revenue model based on project success make it a poor choice for a scammer, who seeks zero-cost, high-reward schemes. These features are strong filters.
The 0.30% creator fee is active from launch on the launchpad's shared liquidity pool. It provides immediate, transparent revenue. The 1% fee is enabled after 'graduation,' when your token moves to its own independent liquidity pool. This 1% fee is permanent and unchangeable thanks to the Token-2022 standard, serving as your lasting commitment to the project's maintenance and development.
A professional website acts as a hub of legitimacy. It's where you document your tokenomics, roadmap, and team. Scams typically operate only through Telegram and Twitter, avoiding a permanent, accountable web presence. By using the included AI builder, you quickly create this vital piece of proof, saving $29-99/month and demonstrating you're building a real, accessible project, not a temporary scheme.
Yes. The older SPL Token standard does not support permanent metadata or transfer hooks. Without Token-2022, a malicious actor could create an identical-looking token to fool people, and you could not enforce fee structures permanently. Token-2022 provides the necessary technical foundation for immutable, trustless rules that prevent these specific types of fraud.
