Our Verdict on Rug Pull Risk Strategy
The real strategy isn't to increase risk, but to systematically destroy it.
Forget the misleading term. A proper 'increase rug pull risk strategy' is actually a risk reduction and trust-building plan. In today's Solana landscape, creators who proactively address security concerns gain a significant edge. Our recommendation is to use a launchpad like Spawned that enforces and verifies key trust mechanisms, then publicly document your approach. This isn't optional marketing—it's a core requirement for a successful launch that attracts serious holders and avoids being labeled a high-risk project.
Misconception vs. Reality: What 'Rug Pull Risk' Really Means
New creators often misunderstand this concept. Let's clarify with a direct comparison.
The Misconception: The goal is to make a token appear risky to attract speculative, 'pump and dump' traders. This is a short-sighted approach that damages reputation and ensures project failure.
The Reality: The goal is to identify and minimize every point of failure that could lead to a rug pull. This builds a foundation of trust, attracting investors who look for long-term value. A token with verifiably low rug pull risk commands a higher initial valuation and sustains community support. Platforms that offer features like perpetual holder rewards inherently support this reality by aligning creator success with holder success.
5 Core Mechanisms to Build Trust and Reduce Risk
Implement these technical and procedural steps to structure your launch for maximum credibility.
- Liquidity Lock: Lock 100% of the initial liquidity pool (LP) tokens. A 6-month minimum is standard; 12 months or more is a strong signal. This prevents you from removing the trading pair and crashing the price.
- Team & Advisor Vesting: Any tokens allocated to the team should be vested linearly over 12-24 months. This proves you're committed for the long haul and can't dump a large supply immediately.
- Use a Reputable Launchpad: Launching on Spawned (0.1 SOL fee) instead of a permissionless tool like pump.fun automatically adds a layer of scrutiny. Our 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward model is built on sustained success, not exit scams.
- Transparent Tokenomics Page: Use the Spawned AI website builder to create a clear, public page breaking down the total supply, allocation percentages (e.g., 70% liquidity, 20% community, 10% team vested), and fund use plans.
- Renounced Mint Authority (Optional but Powerful): On Solana, using the Token-2022 program allows you to permanently renounce the mint authority, making it impossible for anyone to create more tokens later. This is the ultimate technical guarantee.
Step-by-Step: Launching with a Low-Risk Strategy on Spawned
Follow this actionable sequence to integrate trust-building into your launch process.
How Your Launchpad Choice Impacts Perceived Risk
Your launchpad is the first and most visible component of your risk strategy.
The platform you choose sends an immediate signal to the market. Compare the trust implications.
| Feature | Spawned (Your Low-Risk Strategy) | pump.fun (Higher Perceived Risk) |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue Model | 0.30% fee on every trade, forever. Incentive: grow volume long-term. | 0% fee. Incentive: speculative pump at launch. |
| Holder Incentives | 0.30% reward distributed to holders. Builds a loyal community. | No built-in holder rewards. |
| Post-Graduation Path | Move to Token-2022 with 1% perpetual fee. Sustainable project funding. | No structured path; often leads to abandonment. |
| Cost | 0.1 SOL (~$20) + website builder included. | Free, but no supporting infrastructure. |
| Built-in Trust Tools | AI website builder for instant transparency pages. | No content or transparency tools provided. |
The Spawned model aligns your success with your holders' success. A 0.30% continuous reward means you profit when they profit, making a rug pull economically irrational.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a critical misunderstanding. In informed crypto circles, a 'rug pull risk strategy' refers to the steps you take to *manage and reduce* that risk. It's about having a plan to address the single biggest concern investors have. The goal is to make your token verifiably safe, which increases its attractiveness and value.
Using a third-party liquidity locker service typically costs a very small fee, often between 0.01 SOL to 0.05 SOL. This is a negligible cost compared to the immense trust it generates. Consider it a mandatory part of your launch budget, just like the 0.1 SOL launch fee on Spawned.
Absolutely. In fact, you'll likely make more. The Spawned model provides 0.30% of every trade to you as the creator, forever. By building trust, you encourage more trading volume and higher sustained prices, which directly increases your 0.30% revenue stream. A quick rug pull might net a few thousand dollars; a trusted project can generate continuous income.
The core trust mechanisms are identical. Whether you're launching a [gaming token on Solana](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-solana), a meme coin, or a utility token, liquidity locks, vesting, and transparency are universal requirements. The use case (like gaming) adds a layer of purpose, but the security foundation is non-negotiable for any serious project.
Spawned builds trust into the economic model itself. The 0.30% holder reward is a permanent feature that you cannot remove, proving a long-term incentive. Furthermore, the included AI website builder solves the critical 'transparency communication' problem instantly. The 0.1 SOL fee filters for serious creators, improving the overall platform reputation which benefits your token.
Be direct and proud of it. Frame it as your 'Security & Long-Term Commitment Plan.' Say: 'We've locked 100% of liquidity for X months using [Locker Link]. Team tokens are vested over Y months. We launched on Spawned to provide holders with a 0.30% reward on all trades. Our full tokenomics are here [Link to your Spawned-built site].' Transparency is your best marketing material.
