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 Launch a Token for Your Consulting Business?
Move beyond hourly rates and build a scalable, community-driven consulting practice.
Traditional consulting relies on billable hours or project fees, creating income ceilings and client turnover. A consulting token transforms this model. Your token becomes a membership pass, a payment method, and a shared asset aligning your success with your community's.
For example, a marketing consultant could offer token holders priority booking, discounted rates, or exclusive strategy reports. Each time the token is traded, you earn 0.30% creator revenue. This turns client transactions into a recurring revenue stream, while the 0.30% holder reward incentivizes long-term support. It's a shift from trading time for money to building a scalable, asset-backed practice. Explore other industry-specific token use cases.
Spawned vs. Other Platforms for Consulting Tokens
Not all launchpads are built for long-term creator success. Here's how Spawned compares.
Choosing the right launchpad is critical. Many platforms focus only on the token launch, leaving you to handle websites and community tools separately.
| Feature | Spawned | Typical Launchpad (e.g., pump.fun) |
|---|---|---|
| Launch Cost | 0.1 SOL (~$20) | Often 0% upfront, but no ongoing support |
| Creator Fee | 0.30% per trade | 0% (you earn nothing after launch) |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% automatic distribution | Not typically offered |
| Website Builder | AI-powered, included | Not included (costs extra) |
| Post-Launch Fees | 1% via Token-2022 | Varies, often not structured for creators |
Spawned is built for sustainability. The 0.30% creator revenue and 1% post-graduation fee mean your token launch is the start of your income, not the end of it. The integrated AI website builder eliminates the need for separate services like Webflow or Shopify, which cost $29-99/month.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Consulting Token in 30 Minutes
Follow these concrete steps to go from idea to launched token.
- Define Your Token Utility: Decide what your token provides. Examples: 1 token = 1 hour of consulting discount, token-gated access to a private Discord for strategy sessions, or voting rights on your next content topic.
- Connect Wallet & Fund: Go to Spawned.com, connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom), and ensure you have at least 0.1 SOL for the launch fee plus a small amount for transaction costs.
- Configure Your Token: Enter your token's name (e.g., 'AlphaConsult'), symbol (e.g., 'ALPHAC'), and description. Set the total supply—1,000,000 tokens is a common starting point for manageability.
- Design with AI: Use the AI website builder. Input your consulting niche (e.g., 'SaaS growth consulting'). The AI generates a professional site with your token details, a description of your services, and a call-to-action.
- Launch & Verify: Finalize the launch. Your token will be live on Solana, and your website will be live at a custom Spawned URL. Verify the contract on Solana explorers.
- Promote Your Launch: Share your new token page and website with your network. Explain the utility and the holder reward mechanism (0.30% of trades distributed to holders).
Building Sustainable Tokenomics: A Real Example
Your token's economic design is as important as your consulting advice.
Good tokenomics prevent pump-and-dump scenarios and build trust. Here's a sample structure for a 'Web3 Marketing Consultancy' token:
- Total Supply: 1,000,000 MCONSULT
- Liquidity Pool (LP) Initialization: 500,000 tokens (50%) + 10 SOL paired at launch. This creates the initial market.
- Community & Rewards Reserve: 300,000 tokens (30%). Use this for airdrops to early clients, engagement rewards, and future holder incentives.
- Advisor & Development Reserve: 150,000 tokens (15%). Allocate to partners or for funding future platform features.
- Treasury (Founder): 50,000 tokens (5%). This is your long-term aligned stake.
With this model, the 0.30% fee on all trades continuously rewards holders from the circulating supply, encouraging holding. The 1% fee after graduation funds ongoing community initiatives.
What to Do After Your Token Launches
Launch day is just the beginning. Your focus shifts to utility, communication, and growth.
First, activate your token's utility. Honor the discounts or access you promised. For instance, create a token-gated Google Calendly link for booking sessions. This proves real-world value.
Second, communicate transparently. Use your AI-built website blog or Twitter to share updates. When you earn 0.30% from a trade, consider announcing a small buyback or a special airdrop to loyal holders.
Third, plan for graduation. On Spawned, after your token reaches a certain market cap and liquidity threshold, it can 'graduate' to full independence. This is when the Token-2022 program enables the 1% perpetual fee. Plan this transition with your community, explaining how the 1% fee will be used (e.g., to fund a community grant pool for projects using your consulting). Understanding the full token launch process is key here.
Final Recommendation: Use Spawned for Consulting Tokens
Spawned provides the end-to-end solution for consultants entering the token economy.
For consultants looking to tokenize their practice, Spawned is the most complete and economically sensible platform.
The combination of low launch cost (0.1 SOL), immediate revenue generation (0.30% per trade), and a built-in professional website addresses the major pain points of time, cost, and ongoing monetization. Platforms that offer 'free' launches typically provide no way for you, the creator, to earn after the fact. Spawned's model is built for the long term, aligning your success with your token's health through creator fees and holder rewards.
If you're ready to transform your consulting business from an hourly model to a scalable, asset-based community, starting with a token on Spawned is a logical and low-risk first step. The included tools remove technical barriers, letting you focus on your expertise and community building.

Frequently Asked Questions
A consulting token can serve multiple purposes. It can act as a membership key for exclusive content or forums, a payment method offering discounts on your services (e.g., 10% off for payments made with your token), or a governance tool allowing holders to vote on your next research topic or service offering. The utility drives demand and makes the token more than just a speculative asset.
Whenever someone buys or sells your consulting token on the open market, 0.30% of that trade's value is automatically sent to a wallet you control. This happens with every transaction. If there is $1,000 in trading volume on your token in a day, you earn $3.00. This creates a direct, passive income stream tied to the activity of your token.
Holder rewards are a 0.30% fee from each trade that is automatically distributed to everyone currently holding your token, proportional to their stake. This incentivizes people to buy and hold your token long-term, stabilizing its price and building a loyal community. It turns your token holders into stakeholders who benefit from the token's trading activity, not just its price appreciation.
No coding is required. Spawned's process is entirely form-based and guided. You fill in details like your token's name and supply. The integrated AI website builder generates a professional site by simply describing your consulting niche. The platform handles all the blockchain smart contract creation and deployment automatically.
On Spawned, 'graduation' is when your token meets specific success criteria (like liquidity and market cap thresholds) and migrates to its own independent, permanent smart contract using Solana's Token-2022 standard. After graduation, a 1% fee is applied to all transfers of your token. This perpetual fee provides a sustainable, long-term revenue source that can fund community initiatives, development, or further growth of your consulting practice.
Start with your existing audience: email list, social media followers, and past clients. Explain the token's concrete utility and the holder reward system. Use the AI-generated website as your central hub. Engage in relevant online communities (Discord, Twitter) not with spam, but by offering value and mentioning your token as a new way to work with you. Consider a small airdrop to early supporters to bootstrap initial holders.
We cannot provide legal advice. The regulatory treatment depends heavily on your token's structure and marketing. Generally, emphasizing your token's *utility* (access to services, discounts) over promises of profit from your efforts can help. It is strongly recommended you consult with a legal professional familiar with cryptocurrency regulations in your jurisdiction before launching.
