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 Spawned is the Right Choice for Finance Tokens
Building a lasting DeFi project requires more than just a token contract.
For finance tokens, sustainable economics and project legitimacy are critical. Spawned is built for this. Unlike platforms with zero creator fees that encourage short-term pumps, Spawned's 0.30% per-trade revenue gives you runway. The matching 0.30% holder reward creates a sticky community—essential for DeFi projects. The integrated AI website builder solves a major hurdle: presenting a professional, trustworthy front-end immediately. For a 0.1 SOL launch cost, you get a live token and a live website, establishing credibility from minute one.
Finance Token Launchpads: A Quick Comparison
Not all launchpads are equal, especially for finance-focused tokens.
Choosing where to launch impacts your token's long-term viability. Here’s how Spawned compares for finance projects:
- Creator Revenue: Spawned takes 0.30% per trade, providing continuous funding. Competitors like pump.fun take 0%, which can lead to creators abandoning projects after the initial launch.
- Holder Incentives: Spawned automatically distributes 0.30% of every trade back to holders. This built-in reward mechanism is a powerful tool for DeFi tokens to encourage long-term holding and participation.
- Post-Launch Structure: After graduation, Spawned uses the Token-2022 program to enforce a permanent 1% fee on all transactions. This creates a perpetual revenue stream for project development, airdrops, or treasury growth—a feature most launchpads lack.
- Website & Presence: Spawned includes an AI website builder. Other platforms leave you to figure out hosting, design, and domains separately, costing extra time and money.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Finance Token on Spawned
The entire process takes less than 10 minutes.
Follow these steps to go from idea to a live finance token with a website.
- Connect Wallet & Prepare: Go to Spawned.com and connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom). Ensure you have at least 0.2 SOL ready (0.1 SOL for launch + a small buffer for transaction fees).
- Define Your Token: Enter your token's name, symbol (e.g., DEFI, BANK, YIELD), and description. For a finance token, clarity is key. Describe its utility—will it govern a protocol, earn fees, or provide access?
- Set Initial Supply & Liquidity: Define your total token supply. A common strategy is to launch with a portion in the initial liquidity pool and reserve the rest for development, marketing, and community airdrops. Spawned will create the pool.
- Customize Your Website: Use the AI builder. Input your project's name and core concept (e.g., 'A decentralized lending protocol on Solana'). The AI generates a professional site. Customize pages like 'Tokenomics,' 'Roadmap,' and 'Team.'
- Review & Launch: Confirm your token details and website. Pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee. Your token and website go live instantly on the Solana blockchain.
Designing Tokenomics for a Sustainable Finance Project
Good tokenomics are the engine of any finance token. With Spawned, you have tools to build a sustainable model from the start.
The Revenue Engine: The 0.30% fee on every trade isn't just a cost—it's your project's first income stream. This micro-revenue can fund development, marketing, or community initiatives from day one, without you needing to sell tokens.
The Holder Flywheel: The parallel 0.30% reward distributed to holders creates a positive feedback loop. As trading volume grows, so do the rewards, incentivizing holding and reducing sell pressure. This is superior to manual airdrops or complex staking setups at launch.
Planning for Graduation: The path to Token-2022 and its 1% fee should be part of your roadmap. Communicate this to your community. This future fee can fund a treasury, buybacks, or protocol incentives, giving your project a long-term economic foundation. Consider how your tokenomics for a gaming token on Solana might differ, focusing more on in-game utility versus DeFi's yield and governance focus.
Post-Launch Checklist for Your Finance Token
Launch is just the beginning. A successful finance project requires ongoing effort.
Your token is live. Now what? Execute this checklist to build momentum.
- Share Your Links: Promote your token's trade page AND your new website. The website establishes legitimacy that a mere contract address cannot.
- Engage Your Community: Use the holder reward feature as a talking point. Explain how every holder benefits from ecosystem activity.
- Outline the Roadmap: Update your Spawned-built website with a clear roadmap. What comes after the launch? Protocol development? Partnerships? Audits?
- Plan for Liquidity: Monitor your initial pool. A healthy, deep liquidity pool is crucial for a finance token's credibility and reduces price slippage for users.
Using the AI Website Builder to Build Trust
In DeFi, trust is everything. A professional website is non-negotiable. Spawned's AI builder solves this instantly and for free.
Instant Professionalism: Instead of a Twitter thread or a basic PDF, you launch with a full website. This includes pages for your tokenomics, team (even if anonymous, you can describe roles), and a clear whitepaper or litepaper section.
Cost Savings: A basic Web3 hosting and design service can cost $29 to $99 per month. Spawned includes this at no extra cost, saving you hundreds in your first year and allowing you to allocate funds to development or liquidity.
Centralized Information: Your website becomes the single source of truth for links (DEX, socials), documentation, and updates. This reduces confusion and scams, protecting your community.

Frequently Asked Questions
The launch fee is a fixed 0.1 SOL (approximately $20, depending on SOL price). This includes the token deployment, initial liquidity pool creation, and full access to the AI website builder. You will also need a small amount of SOL for transaction fees (a few cents). There are no monthly fees for the website builder.
On every buy and sell transaction of your token, 0.30% of the trade value is automatically sent to a creator wallet you designate. This happens in real-time. For a token with $100,000 in daily volume, this would generate $300 per day in revenue for project development and operations.
Holder rewards are a unique Spawned feature. In parallel to the 0.30% creator fee, an additional 0.30% of every trade is automatically distributed proportionally to all current token holders. This rewards people for holding your token, encouraging long-term support rather than short-term trading.
Yes, absolutely. The AI website builder provides an editor where you can log in and update any content at any time—text, images, roadmap stages, or tokenomics details. Your website is fully under your control.
Graduation occurs when your token's liquidity pool reaches a specific threshold (e.g., 500 SOL). At this point, the liquidity is migrated to a full DEX like Raydium. Spawned then enables the Token-2022 program feature, which institutes a permanent 1% transfer fee on all future transactions, creating an ongoing revenue stream for your project.
The core technical steps on Spawned are identical. The key differences are in strategy and messaging. A finance token's value proposition focuses on economic utility, yields, or governance, while a [gaming token](/use-cases/token/how-to-launch-gaming-token-on-solana) focuses on in-game assets and rewards. Your tokenomics and website content should reflect your specific industry use case.
No coding is required. The entire process—from token creation to website building—uses a simple, guided interface. You fill in forms, make selections, and the platform handles all the smart contract and web deployment complexity for you.
