Maximize Your Scam Prevention Strategy for Solana Token Launches
Launching a successful token requires more than code; it demands trust. A transparent, well-structured launch is your most effective barrier against scams, protecting your project's reputation and your community's investment. This guide details how to use specific platform features and economic models to build that trust and ensure long-term viability.

The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Scam Prevention is a Core Feature, Not an Add-On
Trust isn't given; it's engineered into your token's economics.
In crypto, trust is your primary asset. A launch perceived as unfair or opaque will fail before it begins. Scams erode the entire ecosystem, making it harder for legitimate creators to succeed. Your launch strategy must actively demonstrate integrity from day one. Platforms that prioritize quick launches with zero fees for creators often encourage short-term thinking. In contrast, a structure that rewards long-term success for both creators and holders naturally filters out bad actors. Building a gaming token on Solana or any community project starts with this foundation of trust.
Verdict: Sustainable Fees Prevent Scams
A small, transparent fee is a powerful scam deterrent. While platforms like pump.fun offer 0% creator fees, this model can encourage 'launch-and-abandon' behavior. Spawned's 0.30% creator revenue per trade aligns the platform's success with your project's long-term health. This creates a vested interest in supporting you beyond the initial launch. The post-graduation model, moving to a 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022, ensures the developer has ongoing resources for maintenance and security—a critical factor scams ignore.
- 0.30% Creator Revenue: Encourages building lasting value, not quick exits.
- 1% Post-Graduation Fee: Funds ongoing development and security audits.
- Contrast: Zero-fee models may lack incentive to police or support projects long-term.
Holder Rewards vs. Pure Speculation
Turn your community from targets into stakeholders.
Scams thrive in environments of pure speculation. By rewarding holders directly, you change the community's incentive structure.
| Feature | Typical Launchpad | Spawned's Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Holder Incentive | Price appreciation only (high risk) | 0.30% ongoing rewards from trading volume |
| Community Loyalty | Low; encourages rapid selling | High; rewards long-term participation |
| Scam Resilience | Weak; easy to dump on holders | Strong; loyal holders provide stability |
This 0.30% reward distributed to holders makes it costly for a scammer to execute a pump-and-dump, as legitimate holders are continuously earning and have less reason to panic sell.
5 Steps to a Secure Token Launch on Spawned
Security is a process, not a checkbox.
Follow this process to maximize transparency and minimize risk from the start.
- Build Your AI-Powered Hub First: Before minting, use the included AI website builder. A professional, live site with clear tokenomics, roadmap, and social links establishes immediate legitimacy. This saves you $29-99/month and acts as a public record of your intent.
- Set Clear, Fair Tokenomics: Use your site to detail the total supply, distribution, and the 0.30% holder reward mechanism. Transparency is key. Avoid unclear allocations or large, locked team tokens without vesting schedules.
- Launch with the 0.1 SOL Fee: The low, fixed cost of ~$20 prevents spam launches while remaining accessible. This fee contributes to platform security and moderation efforts.
- Communicate the Economic Model: Explain to your community how the 0.30%/0.30% creator/holder model works. Show them how holding supports the project and earns them rewards, building a anti-scam culture.
- Plan for Graduation: From day one, discuss the path to Token-2022 and the 1% perpetual fee. Framing this as funding for future development (audits, features) shows long-term planning, unlike scams that have no future.
How the AI Website Builder Fights Scams
A legitimate project has a home. The integrated AI builder provides tools that scams typically neglect.
- Instant Credibility: A live, custom site (.sol domain compatible) looks professional, unlike a token with only a dexscreener page.
- Centralized Information: Provides one truth source for announcements, preventing misinformation spread in Telegram or Twitter.
- Cost Savings as Commitment Signal: Saving $29-99/month on Webflow or similar shows resource allocation to the project, not personal profit.
- Built-in Transparency Page: Easily create and host your tokenomics, making unfair distributions obvious to potential buyers.
The Real Cost: Scam Aftermath vs. Secure Investment
Short-term gains poison the well for everyone, including the scammer.
Consider the long-term math. A scam might net a creator a quick, one-time profit but destroys their reputation and contributes to a toxic ecosystem where future launches are harder. A legitimate launch on Spawned with a 0.30% fee invests in sustainability. For a project with a $1 million daily volume, that's $3,000 daily for the creator and another $3,000 daily distributed to loyal holders. This creates a virtuous cycle of funding and trust. The 0.1 SOL launch fee ($20) is a minimal investment compared to the cost of smart contract audits or rebuilding a ruined reputation. Explore the differences in launching on other chains like Ethereum or Base to see how fee structures vary.
Launch with a Strategy Built to Last
Your scam prevention strategy is your project's foundation. Don't rely on hope; use an economic model and toolset designed to promote fairness and longevity. Spawned provides the structure—transparent fees, holder rewards, and professional tools—to help you build a trusted project from the first block.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, it makes it more sustainable. This small fee funds ongoing platform support and aligns our success with yours. It signals to informed buyers that you are building for the long term, not a quick exit. Compared to a zero-fee model that may offer no support, this is a minor cost for major credibility and security benefits.
They incentivize holding over rapid trading. In a typical scam, the creator dumps their tokens, causing panic selling. With ongoing rewards, holders have a reason to stay through volatility. A large, stable base of rewarded holders makes the token harder to manipulate and less profitable for a scammer trying to pump and dump, as they can't easily trigger a mass sell-off.
The 1% perpetual fee post-graduation is a standard for sustainable Token-2022 projects. It ensures the original developer has continuous resources for critical updates, security monitoring, and adding new features. This is a hallmark of a serious project, not a scam. Scams have no plan for ongoing development.
They could, but it increases their effort and cost (the 0.1 SOL launch fee). More importantly, the integrated economic model (creator/holder fees) they'd have to adopt is antithetical to a scam's goal of taking 100% of profits. The builder is one part of a system designed to make legitimate launches easier and scam launches less profitable.
Ethereum launchpads often have much higher fees and gas costs, which can be a barrier but not necessarily a scam deterrent. Spawned's model on Solana uses low, transparent fees to specifically shape community behavior. The principles are the same—transparency, fair rewards—but executed with Solana's speed and low cost.

Use the AI website builder to create a professional project hub before you mint a single token. Publish your full tokenomics, team (if doxxed), and roadmap. This single action, costing you $0 extra, does more to establish trust than any promotional tweet. It shows preparation and commitment, which are absent in scam launches.
