How to Increase Poor Tokenomics: A Creator's Action Plan
Poor tokenomics can sink a promising project before it starts. Many creators make foundational mistakes with supply, distribution, or incentives that alienate holders. This guide provides concrete, actionable steps to diagnose and increase poor tokenomics, using specific tools and strategies to build a more sustainable token economy.

Verdict: How to Truly Increase Poor Tokenomics
Fixing token economics requires more than hope; it needs the right toolkit.
The most effective way to increase poor tokenomics is not a single trick, but a structured approach: first, diagnose the core flaw (supply, rewards, or utility), then use a launchpad that provides the tools for correction and ongoing improvement. Platforms like Spawned are built for this, offering post-launch adjustments like token burns, built-in 0.30% holder rewards, and integrated website utility that other launchpads lack. Attempting to fix tokenomics without the right foundational tools often leads to further complications.
The 5 Most Common Poor Tokenomics Mistakes
Identifying the problem is the first step. Here are the frequent errors that lead to poor tokenomics, along with their specific negative impacts.
- Excessive Total Supply: Launching with 1 trillion tokens because 'it sounds big' destroys perceived value. A 0.1 SOL buy moves the price negligibly, discouraging early investment.
- No Holder Incentives: A static token with zero ongoing benefits. Why would anyone hold it instead of selling immediately after a pump? This leads to rapid price collapse.
- Concentrated Team/VC Allocation: Allocating 40% or more to insiders signals a future dump. It destroys community trust from day one.
- Zero Immediate Utility: The token is merely a speculative asset with a promise of future use 'in the ecosystem.' Holders have nothing to do with it now.
- Unclear or Extractive Fee Structure: High, vague taxes on transactions (e.g., 10% 'marketing tax') scare away serious traders and liquidity providers.
Tokenomics Tool Comparison: Spawned vs. pump.fun
The platform you launch on can either limit or enable your tokenomic fixes.
Your choice of launchpad dictates your ability to fix tokenomics. Here's a direct comparison on key metrics for economic health.
| Feature | Spawned | pump.fun |
|---|---|---|
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% of every trade distributed to holders automatically. | 0%. No ongoing rewards for holding. |
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% per trade funds development. | 0% at launch, but lacks a clear post-graduation model. |
| Post-Launch Adjustments | Supports token burns, migrations via Token-2022 program. | Limited; built for a one-time launch model. |
| Built-in Utility | AI Website Builder included, giving your token a home and use case. | Token exists in isolation on the platform. |
| Long-Term Fee Model | Clear 1% perpetual fee after graduation to Raydium, ensuring sustainability. | Model focused on the initial bonding curve phase. |
The key takeaway: Spawned is structured for sustainable tokenomics with ongoing incentives, while pump.fun is optimized for the initial launch event.
7 Actionable Steps to Increase Your Tokenomics
Follow these concrete steps to diagnose and improve your project's token economics.
A Real Example: From Poor to Sustainable Tokenomics
Imagine a creator, Alex, launched 'GameFiCoin' with 10 billion tokens, no holder rewards, and a vague roadmap. The price stagnated after initial hype.
The Fix: Alex used Spawned to relaunch (cost: 0.1 SOL). They:
- Set a new supply of 100 million (a 99% burn from the original).
- Gained the automatic 0.30% holder reward from day one.
- Used the AI builder to create a gaming community site in minutes, where holding the token granted access to alpha content.
The Result: The lower supply made price movement meaningful. The holder rewards encouraged buying and holding. The website provided instant utility. The 1% future fee gave confidence in the project's longevity. The tokenomics shifted from being a liability to the project's core strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but the method depends on your launch platform. On Spawned, you can execute a token burn to reduce supply or use the Token-2022 program for more advanced migrations. The most straightforward path is often to relaunch with corrected economics using a platform designed for sustainability, as the 0.1 SOL cost is minimal compared to the value of healthy tokenomics.
Holder rewards directly align incentives. Without them, a holder's only way to profit is to sell, which creates constant sell pressure. A 0.30% reward distributed on every trade gives holders a reason to keep their tokens staked or in their wallet, promoting price stability and long-term community growth. It transforms the token from a hot potato into a productive asset.
It provides immediate, tangible utility. A token with a website, blog, or community hub has a purpose beyond the decentralized exchange listing. It can gate content, feature staking info, or host a roadmap. This utility supports the token's value proposition from day one, addressing a major flaw in 'poor tokenomics' where value is purely speculative and future-based.
The 0.30% creator fee is active from the moment trading starts on Spawned, providing immediate revenue to fund marketing and development. The 1% perpetual fee activates after your token 'graduates' from Spawned to a full DEX like Raydium. This long-term fee ensures the project has sustainable funding for years, a critical element often missing in tokenomic models that only plan for the launch phase.
Not absolutely, but it's usually a corrective step for poor tokenomics. An excessively high supply (in the billions or trillions) destroys price perception and requires massive buy volume to move. A more modest supply (millions or tens of millions) makes price movement more meaningful for early investors. The right supply balances community access, perceived value, and potential for growth.
Transparency is key. Use the website you build (like the one from Spawned's AI builder) to post a detailed announcement. Explain the *why* behind the change: 'We are burning 50% of supply to increase price stability and benefit long-term holders.' Frame changes as improvements for the project's health and their investment. Honest communication during a fix can often strengthen community trust more than having perfect tokenomics from the start.
