Why Your Game Needs a Web3 Platform Now
Tokens transform players into stakeholders and create sustainable economies.
For game creators, a Web3 platform built around a token solves three core problems: funding development, building a player-owned economy, and creating a sustainable community hub. A dedicated token allows for in-game purchases, rewards, governance, and asset trading, moving beyond one-time sales. The verdict is clear: launching a token with an integrated website is the most effective way to fund and grow a modern gaming project, turning players into stakeholders.
Compared to traditional crowdfunding, a Web3 launch provides immediate liquidity and a clear path for value accrual back to the creator. For example, a 0.30% fee on all in-game asset trades creates a recurring revenue stream to support updates and servers, a model traditional platforms lack.
Gaming Token Launchpad Comparison: Fees & Features
Not all launchpads are built for the long-term needs of a gaming economy.
Choosing where to launch your gaming token impacts your fees, control, and tools. Here’s a specific breakdown for game developers:
| Feature | Spawned | Competitor A (pump.fun) | Competitor B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch Fee | 0.1 SOL (~$20) | ~0 SOL | Varies |
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% per trade | 0% | Often 0% |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% ongoing | No | Rare |
| Post-Graduation Fee | 1% perpetual (Token-2022) | N/A | Often higher |
| Website Builder | AI Builder Included | Not Included | Extra Cost |
For gaming projects, the 0.30% creator revenue is critical. If your game's token sees $1M in monthly trading volume from item sales, that's $3,000 monthly for development. The 0.30% holder rewards also incentivize long-term community holding. The included AI website builder, which would cost $29-99/month elsewhere, is essential for creating your game's official hub without extra overhead.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Gaming Token & Web3 Site
From token mint to live website in under 30 minutes.
Follow these concrete steps to go from concept to a live Web3 gaming platform.
- Prepare Your Assets: Have your game's logo (PNG, 512x512), a short description, and social links ready. Decide on initial token supply (e.g., 1,000,000,000 for in-game microtransactions).
- Connect Wallet & Fund: Connect a Solana wallet (like Phantom) to Spawned. Ensure you have at least 0.15 SOL for the 0.1 SOL launch fee and transaction costs.
- Create Your Token: Navigate to the launch dashboard. Enter your token's name, symbol (e.g., $DUNGEON), description, and upload your logo. Set your total supply. The platform will deploy your SPL token on Solana.
- Build Your AI Website: Immediately after launch, use the integrated AI builder. Input your game's name and genre. The AI generates a homepage with sections for your trailer, tokenomics, roadmap, and community links. Customize the text and colors in minutes.
- Configure Initial Liquidity: You will be guided to provide initial liquidity to create a trading pair. This makes your token immediately tradable by your community.
- Share Your Platform: Your unique website URL (e.g., yourgame.spawned.site) and token contract address are now live. Share these with your community to start building liquidity and engagement.

Gaming-Specific Tokenomics: 5 Key Models
Your token's design should serve your game's economy. Here are proven models:
- In-Game Currency Token: The primary token for purchasing items, skins, or unlocks. Requires high supply and low individual unit value. Example: 1 billion tokens, with common items costing 1000 tokens.
- Governance & Premium Access Token: A lower-supply token granting voting rights on game development or access to premium features/areas. Creates a core group of invested players.
- Rewards & Staking Token: Distribute tokens for achievements, daily logins, or tournament wins. Allow staking to earn a share of the 0.30% transaction rewards, aligning holder and game success.
- Asset-Backing Token: Each token represents fractional ownership of a high-value in-game asset (like a rare ship or land parcel). Uses Token-2022 features for enhanced functionality.
- Hybrid Model: Combine elements, like a main currency token with a separate, rarer governance token for top players.
The 0.30% fee on all trades means active in-game economies directly fund your project's treasury. Plan your model before launch.

From Launch to Self-Sustaining Gaming Platform
Your token's lifecycle funds each stage of your game's growth.
Launch day is just the beginning. A successful Web3 gaming platform evolves through clear phases, powered by its token.
Phase 1: Community Bootstrap (Weeks 1-4) Use your new AI website as the central hub. Announce your token launch there. Airdrop small amounts to early community members and beta testers. The 0.30% holder rewards immediately start distributing to those who buy and hold, encouraging early support.
Phase 2: Integration & Utility (Months 2-4) Integrate the token into your game's beta. Enable purchases of cosmetic items or boosters. Announce these utility milestones on your website's news section. Trading volume increases, generating creator revenue (0.30%) to fund further development.
Phase 3: Graduation & Scaling (Month 5+) Once your token reaches a significant market cap and liquidity threshold, it 'graduates' from the launchpad to full independence. Here, Spawned's use of the Token-2022 standard allows you to maintain a 1% fee on all future transactions. This perpetual revenue stream can fund esports prizes, server costs, or new development, creating a truly self-sustaining ecosystem. Learn more about this critical phase in our guide How to Launch a Gaming Token on Solana.
4 Essential Sections for Your Gaming Web3 Site
Your AI-generated website is your platform's storefront. Ensure it includes these key sections:
- Live Token Dashboard: Embed a live price chart, market cap, and holder count. This transparency builds trust.
- Game Trailer & Demo Section: The primary focus. Host your latest gameplay trailer and links to download or play a demo.
- Clear Tokenomics Page: Explain your token's total supply, use cases in the game, and distribution plan (e.g., 50% for in-game rewards, 20% to liquidity).
- Integrated Community Hub: Direct links to your Discord, Twitter, and in-platform chat. This turns visitors into community members.
The AI builder automatically suggests layouts for these sections. By including these, you avoid the common mistake of having a token page disconnected from the actual game.

Frequently Asked Questions
The launch fee on Spawned is 0.1 SOL (approximately $20, depending on SOL price). This covers the token deployment on Solana and access to the AI website builder. You should also have a small amount of extra SOL for initial transaction fees and providing initial liquidity, which can vary but often starts around 1-2 SOL total for a robust start.
You earn a 0.30% fee on every buy and sell transaction of your token. If players trade your token to buy in-game assets, this creates ongoing revenue. For example, $500,000 in monthly trading volume generates $1,500 monthly for development. After your token graduates, a perpetual 1% fee is maintained via the Token-2022 standard, providing long-term funding.
Holder rewards are an additional 0.30% of each transaction that is distributed to people who are holding your token in their wallet. This encourages players to hold onto tokens they earn in-game rather than immediately selling them, which stabilizes your game's economy. It aligns the community's success with the token's health, fostering long-term engagement.
Yes, you have continuous access to edit and update your AI-generated website. You can change text, add new sections (like patch notes or tournament results), and update visuals at any time. This is included at no extra monthly cost, unlike standalone website builders which often charge $29-99 per month.
The core difference is cost and speed. Solana transaction fees are fractions of a cent, making microtransactions within a game economically feasible. Ethereum layer-2 solutions can be similar, but the Solana ecosystem is particularly active for gaming. For a detailed breakdown, see our comparison [How to Create a Gaming Token on Ethereum](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-ethereum) versus the Solana process.
Graduation occurs when your token reaches specific liquidity and market cap goals. Your token becomes independently tradable on decentralized exchanges. Crucially, using the Token-2022 program, a 1% fee remains on all future transactions, which is directed to a wallet you control. This creates a sustainable treasury for game development, marketing, and prizes.
No coding is required for the initial launch or website creation. The process on Spawned is form-based and guided. The AI website builder uses simple prompts and drag-and-drop editing. However, for advanced custom integrations of the token into your actual game client, you or a developer will need to interact with the Solana blockchain using its SDKs.
