How to Maximize No Marketing for Token Launches on Solana
No Marketing is a platform on Solana that allows for permissionless token creation and trading. It functions as an automated market maker (AMM) with a bonding curve, letting creators launch tokens without upfront marketing. This guide explains its mechanics, fees, and how to use it effectively, while comparing its approach to creator-focused platforms like Spawned.

What is No Marketing?
A launchpad that starts the clock the moment you create a token.
No Marketing is a token launch platform built on the Solana blockchain. Its core premise is removing barriers to entry by eliminating the need for pre-launch hype or marketing budgets. Instead of a traditional launchpad model, it uses an automated market maker (AMM) with a bonding curve. When a creator launches a token, it is immediately paired with SOL in a liquidity pool. The price of the token is determined by a bonding curve formula, which increases the price as more tokens are bought from the pool and decreases it when they are sold back. This creates a fully permissionless and instant trading environment from the moment of creation.
No Marketing vs. Spawned: Which is Right for You?
Two different philosophies for launching tokens.
The choice between No Marketing and a platform like Spawned depends entirely on your goals as a creator.
Choose No Marketing if: Your sole objective is to create a tradable token instantly with zero upfront cost, and you are comfortable with a purely AMM-driven model that offers no additional tools. You accept that all value capture goes to the platform via the 0.3% trade tax, with no mechanism for you to earn ongoing fees.
Choose Spawned if: You want a complete launch suite that includes an AI-powered website builder, a way to earn 0.30% creator revenue on all trades, and the ability to reward your holders with an additional 0.30% of transaction volume. Spawned is for creators building a brand and community, not just a ticker symbol. The 0.1 SOL launch fee ($20~) provides access to tools that would otherwise cost $29-99 per month and establishes a perpetual 1% fee structure for you post-graduation via Token-2022. Explore Spawned's creator features.
- No Marketing Fee Model: 0% launch fee, 0.3% fee on all trades (goes to platform).
- Spawned Fee Model: 0.1 SOL launch fee, 0.30% creator revenue + 0.30% holder rewards on trades, 1% perpetual fee post-launch.
- Tools: No Marketing offers the AMM only. Spawned includes an AI website builder and community reward systems.
- Goal: No Marketing is for instant tokenization. Spawned is for sustainable project building.
How the Bonding Curve Works (The Core Mechanic)
The engine that drives every token's price.
Success on No Marketing requires understanding its bonding curve. When you launch, a set amount of your tokens (e.g., 1,000,000) are deposited into a pool with an initial amount of SOL. The price formula typically follows a constant product curve (like x*y=k).
- Buying Pressure: When someone buys tokens, they add SOL to the pool and remove tokens. This reduces the token supply in the pool, causing the price to rise according to the curve.
- Selling Pressure: When someone sells tokens back, they add tokens to the pool and remove SOL. This increases the token supply, causing the price to fall.
This means early buyers get a lower price, but also provide the initial liquidity that allows later buyers to participate. The price movement is purely algorithmic based on pool composition.
Step-by-Step Guide to Launching on No Marketing
From idea to live market in under five minutes.
Follow these steps to create a token using No Marketing.
- Connect Your Wallet: Navigate to the No Marketing website and connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom or Backpack). Ensure you have a small amount of SOL for transaction fees.
- Define Token Parameters: Enter your token's name, symbol (ticker), and description. You will also set the total supply and the number of tokens to initially deposit into the liquidity pool. Remember, all other tokens remain in your wallet.
- Set Initial Liquidity: You must deposit an initial amount of SOL to pair with your tokens. This creates the starting pool. The ratio of tokens to SOL you set here influences the starting price.
- Review and Confirm: Double-check all details. Confirm the transaction in your wallet. This will create the token (via a Solana Program Library token) and instantiate the liquidity pool.
- Token is Live: Immediately after confirmation, your token is live and tradable on the No Marketing platform. The bonding curve is active. Share the contract address so others can find and trade it.
How to Maximize Your No Marketing Launch
Tactics for a stronger start on a hands-off platform.
Even without 'marketing,' strategy matters. Here’s how to improve your launch's chances.
- Start with Strong Memetics: Since you aren't paying for ads, the token concept, name, and narrative must be inherently compelling to attract organic attention.
- Seed Initial Liquidity Wisely: Don't start with too little SOL. A tiny pool means extreme volatility; a small buy will skyrocket the price, and a small sell will crash it. A more substantial initial pool provides better stability.
- Manage Your Own Holdings: You hold the majority of the supply. Avoid large, sudden sells into your own pool, as this will collapse the price via the bonding curve. Consider gradual distribution.
- Community is Still Key: Use Twitter, Telegram, and Discord to share your contract address and explain your token's purpose. No Marketing doesn't do this for you.
- Understand the 0.3% Tax: Every trade grows the SOL side of the pool slightly (for the platform), which can subtly affect price mechanics over time.
Key Limitations and Considerations
Be aware of these factors before choosing No Marketing.
- No Project Website: You get a trading page, not a website. You must build or host your project's homepage separately. Spawned's AI builder solves this.
- Zero Creator Fees: The 0.3% trade fee benefits the platform, not you. You cannot earn revenue from your own token's trading activity on-platform.
- Bonding Curve Volatility: Prices can be highly volatile, especially in low-liquidity pools, leading to potential rapid gains or losses for holders.
- No Built-in Holder Incentives: There is no mechanism to automatically distribute rewards or fees to token holders, a feature that can help maintain community loyalty.
- Post-Launch Path: The model is self-contained. If you want to 'graduate' to a decentralized exchange like Raydium, you must manage the liquidity migration yourself.
Ready to Launch Your Token?
Define your goals, then choose your platform.
If your goal is the fastest possible path to a tradable token and you're willing to forgo built-in tools and creator revenue, No Marketing is a valid, frictionless option.
However, if you envision a token as part of a larger project—with a website, a sustainable revenue model, and rewards for your community—the integrated approach of Spawned offers significantly more long-term value. For less than the cost of a month of standard web hosting, you gain a professional web presence, a fair fee structure, and tools designed for project growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, there is no upfront 'launch fee.' However, it is not free to operate. You must provide the initial SOL liquidity for the bonding curve pool. Furthermore, the platform takes a 0.3% fee on every single buy and sell transaction forever. This is how it generates revenue, instead of charging creators upfront.
Yes, but it requires manual work. The token created is a standard SPL token. To list on a DEX like Raydium or Orca, you would need to create a new liquidity pool there, often requiring a significant amount of liquidity. You might also need to withdraw liquidity from the No Marketing pool, which would impact its price there.
The creator's primary potential profit comes from holding a large portion of the token supply and selling it as the price rises due to buying pressure on the bonding curve. There is no protocol-level mechanism that pays fees to the creator. This differs from platforms like Spawned, which allocate 0.30% of every trade directly to the creator as revenue.
The bonding curve model reduces one type of rug pull (where a creator removes all liquidity), as liquidity is locked in the curve. However, a creator holding most of the supply can still 'sell the news' by dumping their large token holdings into the pool, collapsing the price via the bonding curve. Always research the creator and project.
Absolutely. The token is a standard SPL token, so it can be used for any purpose on Solana—in-game currency, governance, access passes, etc. However, No Marketing provides no special tools for integrating with games. You would need to build that functionality separately. For gaming tokens, a dedicated guide can help.

Spawned's model includes a 0.30% fee on trades that is distributed to token holders, incentivizing people to hold and support the project. No Marketing has no such feature. Its 0.3% fee goes entirely to the platform, offering no direct reward to the community of holders, which can make community building more challenging.
No. The platform provides a simple web interface for entering token details and setting up the liquidity pool. The smart contract and bonding curve mechanics are handled automatically. The main technical requirement is managing a Solana wallet.
