A Strategy to Increase Your Token's Security Audit Score
A high security audit score is non-negotiable for token success. This guide provides a concrete strategy, from pre-launch preparation to post-launch transparency, specifically for creators launching on Solana. Using Spawned's integrated tools can systematically build trust and reduce vulnerabilities.

The Problem
Traditional solutions are complex, time-consuming, and often require technical expertise.
The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Your Audit Score Isn't Just a Checkbox
Treat your audit as a core component of your project's trust, not an afterthought.
For a new token, the security audit is your first major credibility test. Investors and holders use it to gauge risk. A low score or missing audit often results in immediate dismissal, while a strong audit with clear documentation becomes a foundational marketing asset.
On Spawned, your project's website—built with our included AI tool—is the central hub for this trust. Publishing your audit report, team information, and tokenomics here creates a transparent foundation that directly supports a higher perceived security score. Compare this to launching with no central information source, where trust is harder to establish.
Pre-Launch: Prepare for a Better Audit
The work you do before contacting an auditor significantly impacts the outcome and cost. Follow these steps to enter the audit process from a position of strength.
The Transparency Loop: Audit to Website to Community
A strong security strategy creates a positive feedback loop. A good audit allows you to publish a strong report. That published report on your professional Spawned-built website builds community confidence. This confidence leads to more sustained holding, which benefits from Spawned's unique 0.30% ongoing holder rewards. The cycle reinforces itself: transparency begets trust, which begets stability.
Contrast this with a project that audits in secret or buries the report. The community remains skeptical, often leading to rapid sell pressure after launch, undermining the project's goals. Your website is the platform to close this loop visibly.
Post-Launch Actions to Maintain Security Confidence
Your audit report is published. Now what?
Security is ongoing. After a successful launch on Spawned (for a 0.1 SOL fee), these actions maintain the trust you've built.
- Pin the Audit Report: Feature it prominently on your website's homepage or a dedicated 'Security' page. The AI builder makes this easy without coding.
- Communicate Updates: If vulnerabilities are found and patched, document the process and timeline on your site. Honesty about fixes can increase trust.
- Highlight Token-2022 Benefits: After graduation, educate your community on the security perks of the Token-2022 standard you've moved to.
- Monitor and Acknowledge: Use your site's blog (via the AI builder) to periodically affirm your commitment to security, referencing the audit.
Building Trust: Isolated Audit vs. Integrated Strategy
An audit alone is a snapshot. An integrated strategy using Spawned's platform provides continuous trust signals.
| Trust Signal | Isolated Audit (Typical Launch) | Integrated Strategy (With Spawned) |
|---|---|---|
| Audit Visibility | PDF in Discord, easily lost. | Permanently hosted on project's official website. |
| Team Transparency | Often anonymous or unclear. | AI website provides 'Team' page for direct doxxing. |
| Fee Structure Clarity | Buried in contract or not explained. | Clearly explained alongside creator (0.30%) and holder reward (0.30%) info. |
| Post-Launch Security | Static; no update path. | Pathway to Token-2022's secure features and a platform for updates. |
| Cost | Audit cost + website cost ($29-99/mo). | Audit cost + $0 for website (AI builder included). |
The integrated approach creates a cohesive, verifiable project identity that supports the audit's findings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Audit costs vary widely based on contract complexity, ranging from a few thousand dollars to $20,000+. Using a standardized, audited launchpad template like Spawned's for the initial phase can reduce scope and cost. The critical investment is the audit itself, but remember to budget for the ongoing trust-building via your project's website, which Spawned includes.
Technically, yes. Practically, it is highly discouraged. An unaudited token is a major red flag for investors and will struggle to gain traction. It exposes holders to unknown risks. Using a launchpad like Spawned that employs tested contracts is a good start, but a project-specific audit remains the standard for serious projects.
Token-2022 is an upgraded program on Solana with additional built-in features, including more granular transfer hooks and confidentiality modes that can enhance security models. Spawned uses the standard Token program for initial launch efficiency, then graduates projects to Token-2022, giving your project a security upgrade path post-launch.
It provides the canonical home for your audit report and security information. Instead of a scattered PDF, you can permanently host the report, publish team backgrounds (doxxing), and explain security measures. This transparency directly addresses auditor and investor concerns about project legitimacy, effectively increasing the perceived and practical security score.
Common issues include mint authority not being revoked, flawed fee logic that could trap funds, ownership centralization risks, and reentrancy or overflow bugs in custom logic. A key strategy is to use simple, well-tested contracts for launch and add complex features only after rigorous testing and additional audit rounds.
No. The fee mechanism is implemented at the platform level using secure, audited protocols. It does not add complexity or risk to your token's core smart contract. Your audit focuses on your token's specific logic. The fee is simply a transparent business model that funds platform development and holder rewards.
A basic audit for a standard token can take 1-2 weeks. More complex contracts with custom functionality can take 3-6 weeks. Factor this into your launch timeline. Using the pre-launch preparation steps outlined above can significantly reduce the back-and-forth time with auditors.
