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 Build a Music Web3 Platform?
Streaming revenue is broken. Web3 fixes it.
For musicians, traditional streaming pays less than $0.004 per stream. A Web3 platform puts control and revenue back in your hands. By launching a token, you create a direct economic link with your audience. Fans become investors and community members, not just passive listeners. This model has been used by artists like RAC and 3LAU to fund albums and connect with superfans. On Spawned, you get a complete system: a tradable token for community engagement and a professional website to host your music, merch, and updates.
Spawned vs. Other Music Launch Methods
A side-by-side look at your options for launching a music token.
| Method | Cost | Creator Fee | Website | Ongoing Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spawned.com | 0.1 SOL (~$20) | 0.30% per trade | AI Builder Included | 0.30% to holders |
| Pump.fun | ~$0 | 0% | None | None |
| Custom Solana Dev | $5,000+ | Set your own | $1,000+ | Complex to setup |
| Traditional Crowdfunding | 5-10% platform fee | None | Separate cost | None |
Spawned provides a balanced approach. Unlike pump.fun which offers no creator revenue, you earn from day one. Compared to a full custom build, you save thousands in development costs. The included AI website builder alone replaces services like Squarespace or Wix for musicians, which typically cost $29-99 per month.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Music Token & Platform
Your actionable guide to getting live.
Follow these steps to go from idea to live Web3 platform in under an hour.
- Connect Wallet & Prepare: Connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom) to Spawned.com. Have 0.1 SOL ready for the launch fee, plus a small amount for transaction gas.
- Create Your Token: Enter your music project's name and ticker (e.g., NOISY). You can set an initial supply—common practice is 1 billion tokens, allocating 30-50% to the initial liquidity pool.
- Design with AI: Use the AI website builder. Input details like "website for an electronic music producer named Vega, with a dark theme, music player, and NFT gallery." The AI generates the site instantly.
- Configure Earnings: The 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward are set by default. This means for every $1000 in trading volume, you earn $3 and your token holders collectively earn $3.
- Launch & Share: Finalize and launch. Your token gets an initial liquidity pool on Raydium. Share your new token page and custom website link with your community.
5 Ways Musicians Use Their Tokens
Your music token is more than a meme coin. It's a tool for building your career.
- Fund Your Next Release: Use token sales to fund recording, mixing, and music video costs directly from your biggest fans, bypassing labels.
- Grant Exclusive Access: Token holders can get early access to tickets, unreleased demos, private Discord channels, or live stream soundchecks.
- Sell Music NFTs: Pair token ownership with limited edition song NFTs or visual art. Use your Spawned site as the storefront.
- Governance & Input: Let token holders vote on setlists for tours, single artwork, or even merchandise designs.
- Reward Engagement: Airdrop tokens to fans who stream your music the most, share on social media, or attend multiple shows.
After Launch: Growing Your Music Platform
The real work begins after the token goes live.
Launching is just the start. Your first goal is to reach $60,000 in trading volume to "graduate" from the initial pool. At this point, your token migrates to the full Token-2022 program on Solana, locking in a 1% perpetual fee on all future trades. This is your long-term revenue engine.
Promote your platform organically. Link your Spawned AI website in your Instagram bio and Linktree. Explain the token's utility clearly: "Hold $NOISY for exclusive content and a share of platform fees." Consider a small, fair initial airdrop to your most engaged email list subscribers or Discord members to bootstrap the community. Track your volume and holder count on your website's dashboard. Engage with holders—they are now your core team.
Complete Cost & Revenue Breakdown
A transparent look at the financial model.
Understanding the numbers is critical for musicians often working with tight budgets.
Initial Costs:
- Token Launch Fee: 0.1 SOL (~$20)
- Initial Liquidity: You decide. Adding 0.5 SOL (~$100) provides a solid starting pool.
- Total Possible Startup Cost: ~$120
Ongoing Revenue (Example): If your token achieves $50,000 in weekly trading volume:
- Your Weekly Creator Fee (0.30%): $150
- Weekly Holder Rewards Pool (0.30%): $150 distributed to all holders
- Your Annual Creator Fee Estimate: $7,800
After Graduation (Post $60k Volume): The fee structure upgrades to a 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022. At the same $50k weekly volume:
- Your Weekly Fee: $500
- Your Annual Fee Estimate: $26,000
The AI website is included, saving you $348-$1,188 per year compared to standard site builders.

Frequently Asked Questions
No coding is required. The token launch process is a simple form, and the AI website builder generates your site based on text descriptions you provide. The entire setup is designed for creators, not developers.
A music token (like a SPL token on Solana) is fungible—every token is identical and can be traded in fractions. It's ideal for representing overall community membership or funding. An NFT is unique and non-fungible, better for selling one-of-a-kind digital art, special edition tracks, or collectibles. You can use both on your platform.
Provide real utility. Offer exclusive content, experiences, or voting rights to token holders. Promote it as a way for fans to directly support your career and share in the platform's success. Share your journey transparently on social media and direct fans to your Spawned website, which hosts all the information.
The 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward are standard on the initial Spawned launch. This balanced model encourages trading. When your token graduates after reaching $60k volume, it upgrades to the Token-2022 standard where you can set a perpetual fee, which defaults to 1% but can be configured.
If trading volume is low, you won't earn significant fees. The key is building an active community around your music. Use the token as a tool for engagement. Even without high volume, your custom AI website remains a valuable, free asset for your music career.
Yes. The AI provides a complete, professional starting point. You can then edit every element—text, images, colors, and layout—through a simple drag-and-drop editor without touching any code.
A 0.30% fee is taken from every buy and sell trade. This fee is converted to SOL and automatically distributed proportionally to everyone holding your token at that moment. It's a built-in mechanism to reward your loyal supporters continuously.
