Why a Construction Token Makes Sense
Construction and crypto are a natural fit for project-based funding and community ownership.
For creators in the construction space, a token isn't just another crypto—it's a tool for funding, community, and aligning incentives. Unlike generic meme coins, a construction token can have direct utility: funding specific development projects, creating a shared equipment fund, or offering discounts on bulk material purchases through partnered suppliers. On Solana, transactions are fast and cheap, making micro-transactions for small project milestones feasible. Using a platform like ours, which includes an AI website builder, means you can launch a professional project hub immediately without extra monthly costs. The built-in 0.30% holder reward on every trade directly incentivizes your community to hold, creating a more stable foundation than typical pump-and-dump tokens.
Step 1: Pre-Launch Planning & Tokenomics
Solid planning separates a sustainable project from a short-lived token.
Before you click 'launch,' define your token's purpose and structure. This planning phase is critical for long-term success.
1. Define Core Utility: What does your token do? Examples: Governance votes on which construction project to fund next, a staking mechanism to earn a share of project profits, or a voucher for discounts with hardware suppliers. Be specific.
2. Set Your Supply and Distribution:
- Total Supply: Common ranges are 1 million to 1 billion tokens. A lower supply can feel more scarce.
- Liquidity Pool (LP): Typically 80-90% of tokens go into the initial liquidity pool on launch.
- Team/Development: 5-10%, often locked or vested.
- Community/Airdrops: 5-10% for marketing and rewarding early supporters.
3. Configure Fees on the Launchpad: When you launch with us, you set two key fees:
- Creator Revenue: 0.30% of every trade goes to your project wallet. This is your ongoing funding stream.
- Holder Rewards: 0.30% of every trade is distributed to all token holders automatically. This encourages holding.
4. Plan for 'Graduation': After your token reaches a certain market cap or liquidity threshold (e.g., 1,000 SOL in LP), it 'graduates' from the launchpad. At this point, you should implement the Token-2022 program to enable a perpetual 1% transaction fee. This fee sustains the project long-term. Learn more about Token-2022.
Steps 2-4: The Launch Process
The technical launch is straightforward and guided by the platform.
With planning done, the actual launch takes less than 30 minutes.
Step 2: Connect Wallet & Create Token
- Connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom) to our launchpad.
- Click 'Create New Token.'
- Enter your token's name, symbol (e.g., BUILDER, CRANE), and upload an image.
- Set your total supply and the distribution percentages you planned.
- Configure the 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward fee.
Step 3: Build Your Project Website This is where our AI builder saves time and money.
- Use the AI prompt: 'Generate a website for a Solana construction token named [Your Token Name] focused on [Your Utility, e.g., funding green housing projects].'
- The AI will create a homepage with sections for the project mission, roadmap, team, and tokenomics.
- Customize the text, add images of construction projects or plans, and link your socials.
- Your site is hosted for free—no $29-99/month subscription needed.
Step 4: Add Initial Liquidity and Launch
- You'll be prompted to add SOL to create the initial liquidity pool (LP). For a standard launch, you might add 1-5 SOL.
- The launchpad will create the LP with your chosen token/SOL pair.
- Pay the one-time launch fee of 0.1 SOL (approximately $20).
- Confirm the transaction. Your token is now live and tradable.
Step 5: Post-Launch Strategy for Construction Projects
Success depends on clear communication and delivering on promises.
Launching is just the beginning. Your focus now shifts to building utility and trust.
Immediate Actions:
- Share Your Website: Your AI-built site is your central hub. Share it on X (Twitter), construction forums, and crypto communities.
- Outline the First Project: Be transparent. Create a document or page detailing the first construction project the token will help fund. Include budgets, timelines, and how token holders benefit (e.g., profit share, governance rights).
Building Long-Term Trust:
- Regular Updates: Use your website's blog or news section to post weekly progress updates, even if it's just planning phases. The construction industry values timelines and deliverables.
- Demonstrate Holder Rewards: Screenshot and share the SOL distributions your holders are receiving from the 0.30% reward fee. Tangible rewards build loyalty.
- Plan for Graduation: Monitor your liquidity. When ready, migrate to the Token-2022 standard to activate the 1% perpetual fee. This fee is crucial for funding ongoing operations, audits, or new project development. Compare this to other platforms: pump.fun takes 0% for the creator after launch, leaving you with no built-in revenue stream.
Utility Expansion: Consider partnerships with physical businesses. Could your token be used for a 5% discount at a local building supplier? Could holders vote on which charity build to sponsor next? Real-world connections give your token lasting purpose.
Why a Dedicated Launchpad Beats Manual Deployment
The right tools remove complexity and add critical features.
You could deploy a token manually using Solana's CLI tools, but a launchpad built for creators offers distinct advantages, especially for a niche like construction.
| Feature | Manual SPL Token Deployment | Our Solana Launchpad |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ~0.02 SOL for deployment + cost of website hosting ($29-99/month) + LP creation fees. | 0.1 SOL flat fee includes token, LP, and AI website builder (hosting included). |
| Holder Rewards | Not built-in. Requires complex, separate programming. | Built-in 0.30% reward on every trade, distributed automatically. No code needed. |
| Creator Revenue | You must code a custom tax mechanism or rely on manual treasury management. | Built-in 0.30% revenue on every trade, sent directly to your wallet. |
| Website/Homebase | You must design, develop, and host a site separately. | AI website builder included, generating a professional site in minutes. |
| Post-Graduation Path | You must manually research and implement Token-2022. | Guided path to Token-2022 for 1% fees after graduation. |
For a construction founder who isn't a full-time developer, the launchpad removes technical risk and provides essential monetization and community features from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
The launch fee is 0.1 SOL (approximately $20, depending on SOL price). This single fee covers the token creation, initial liquidity pool setup, and access to the AI website builder with free hosting. There are no monthly subscription fees for the website, which can save you $29 to $99 per month compared to other builders.
On every trade of your token, two fees are automatically applied: a 0.30% fee that goes to you as creator revenue, and a 0.30% fee that is distributed as rewards to all token holders. After your token 'graduates' (reaches a certain liquidity threshold), you can upgrade to the Token-2022 standard to implement a perpetual 1% transaction fee to fund long-term project development.
Yes, that's a primary use case. The 0.30% creator revenue from every transaction flows directly to your project wallet. You can use these SOL funds to purchase materials, pay contractors, or cover other project costs. You should clearly communicate how funds are being used on your project website to build trust with your token holders.
The 0.30% holder reward fee is taken from every buy and sell transaction. This fee is converted to SOL and automatically distributed to every wallet holding your token, proportional to their holdings. This happens continuously, providing a constant incentive for people to hold your token rather than trade it frequently, which can help stabilize the price.
No coding knowledge is required. The launchpad guides you through a simple form to name your token, set supply, and upload an image. The AI website builder also requires no code—you describe your project in a prompt, and it generates a professional site. The complex features like fee distribution and rewards are handled automatically by the platform's smart contracts.
A construction token should be built with specific utility and long-term project goals, not just hype. Key differences include: having a clear use case (e.g., project funding, supplier discounts), transparent communication via your project website, and a tokenomic model that rewards long-term holders and funds ongoing development. This builds a sustainable community aligned with your construction project's success.
Graduation typically occurs when your token's liquidity pool reaches a significant size (e.g., 1,000 SOL). At this point, you should migrate your token to Solana's Token-2022 program. This allows you to implement a perpetual transaction fee (we recommend 1%) that continues to fund your project indefinitely. Our platform provides guidance on how to make this upgrade.
