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.
Our Recommendation: Configure 10-15% Slippage
The optimal slippage setting maximizes revenue without compromising trade execution.
For most tokens launching on Spawned, we recommend configuring a 10-15% slippage tolerance. This setting balances several critical factors:
Why 10-15% works best:
- Fee Reduction: Drops the creator fee from the standard 0.30% to 0.10% per trade, directly increasing your net revenue.
- Trade Execution: Maintains reliable trade completion during normal market volatility on Solana.
- Holder Protection: Preserves the full 0.30% ongoing rewards for token holders, which is a unique Spawned feature.
- Competitive Edge: Compared to platforms like pump.fun which offer 0% creator fees but no ongoing rewards, this strategy provides sustainable income. Post-graduation, Spawned's 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022 is significantly lower than the industry standard of 2-5%.
Example Impact: On $50,000 trading volume, standard 0.30% fees earn $150. With optimized slippage reducing fees to 0.10%, you earn $50 while token holders still receive $150 in rewards. The AI website builder included with your launch saves an additional $29-99 monthly.

How to Configure High Slippage on Spawned: 4 Steps
Configuring the right slippage takes minutes but affects years of revenue.
Follow these specific steps during your token creation process on Spawned to implement an optimized high slippage strategy.
Step 1: Access Advanced Settings During the token creation workflow, navigate to the 'Advanced Token Settings' section. This appears after you've configured basic details like name, symbol, and initial supply.
Step 2: Locate Slippage Configuration Find the 'Trade Execution' or 'Liquidity Parameters' panel. Look for the slippage tolerance setting, which typically defaults to 30% or 'Auto.'
Step 3: Set Custom Slippage Value Change the setting from 'Auto' to 'Custom' and enter a value between 10% and 15%. We recommend starting with 12% as a balanced approach.
Step 4: Verify Fee Structure Confirm that your creator fee has adjusted to 0.10% per trade while the holder rewards remain at 0.30%. The interface should display these values clearly before you proceed to launch.
Pro Tip: Test different slippage values with small trades after launch. If you notice failed transactions during peak volatility, increase to 15%. If all trades succeed consistently, you might try 10% for maximum fee reduction.
Real Example: Gaming Token with Optimized Slippage
A slight fee adjustment creates compounding benefits for your token ecosystem.
Consider a gaming token similar to those created in our gaming token guide. The creator launches with 10% slippage on Spawned.
Month 1-3 (Initial Growth):
- Trading Volume: $25,000
- Creator Revenue (0.10%): $25
- Holder Rewards Distributed (0.30%): $75
- Website Builder Savings: $87 (3 months at $29/month)
- Total Creator Benefit: $112
Month 4-6 (Community Building):
- Trading Volume: $75,000
- Creator Revenue: $75
- Holder Rewards: $225
- Website Savings: $87
- Total Creator Benefit: $162
Month 7-12 (Established Token):
- Trading Volume: $200,000
- Creator Revenue: $200
- Holder Rewards: $600
- Website Savings: $348 (12 months)
- Total Creator Benefit: $548
Year 1 Total:
- Creator Earnings: $300
- Holder Rewards: $900
- Website Value: $348
- Total Value: $1,548
Comparison: With standard 30% slippage (0.30% fee), creator earnings would be $900, but holder rewards remain $900. The optimized approach shifts $600 to holders while saving $348 on website costs, creating stronger community incentives.
4 Common High Slippage Mistakes to Avoid
Small configuration errors can cost significant revenue over time.
Even experienced creators make these errors when configuring slippage. Avoid them to maximize your token's success.
1. Setting Slippage Too Low (Below 10%)
- Problem: Trades fail during normal market volatility, frustrating users.
- Solution: Never go below 10% on Solana, where block times are 400ms and prices can move quickly.
2. Using 'Auto' Slippage Settings
- Problem: Platforms often set auto-slippage to 30% or higher, costing you maximum fees.
- Solution: Always choose 'Custom' and set your preferred value.
3. Ignoring Holder Reward Preservation
- Problem: Some platforms reduce both creator fees AND holder rewards when adjusting slippage.
- Solution: On Spawned, verify that the 0.30% holder reward remains unchanged after your adjustment.
4. Not Testing After Launch
- Problem: Assuming your settings work perfectly without verification.
- Solution: Make several small test trades after launch. Monitor for failed transactions and adjust if necessary.
Additional Tip: Document your slippage strategy in your token's documentation or website. Transparency builds trust with your community.
Advanced: Slippage Strategy for Different Token Types
One size doesn't fit all—tailor slippage to your token's specific behavior.
Your optimal slippage setting depends on your token's use case and volatility profile.
For Gaming Tokens: Referencing our gaming token launch guide, gaming tokens often experience predictable volatility around events or updates. A 12% slippage works well, balancing fee reduction with reliable in-game purchases.
For Meme Tokens: Higher volatility requires more tolerance. Consider 15% slippage to ensure trades execute during rapid price movements common in meme token markets.
For Utility/DeFi Tokens: These often have more stable trading patterns. You might experiment with 10% slippage, especially if integrated with other DeFi protocols that have their own slippage controls.
For Cross-Chain Tokens: If you're also launching on other chains like Ethereum or Base, note that optimal slippage differs. Ethereum typically requires higher settings (15-20%) due to slower blocks and higher gas competition.
Timing Considerations:
- High Volatility Periods: Increase to 15% during market uncertainty or major announcements.
- Normal Conditions: Maintain 10-12% for optimal fee structure.
- Low Activity Periods: You could test 10% but monitor closely for failed transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Slippage is the difference between a trade's expected price and its actual execution price. On decentralized exchanges, prices move between when you submit a trade and when it executes. Slippage tolerance is the maximum price movement you'll accept—if the price moves beyond this percentage, your trade fails. Higher slippage settings mean trades are more likely to execute but may cost more, while lower settings might save money but cause failed transactions.
Spawned's fee structure is designed to reward optimal market behavior. When you set lower slippage (10-15% instead of 30%+), you're accepting slightly more execution risk but creating a better trading experience. As an incentive, Spawned reduces your creator fee from 0.30% to 0.10% per trade. This creates a win-win: you get more reliable trade execution for your community while still earning sustainable revenue. The holder reward remains at 0.30% regardless of slippage settings.
The savings depend on your trading volume. On $100,000 monthly volume: standard 0.30% fees earn $300; optimized 0.10% fees earn $100. While this reduces your direct earnings by $200, it increases holder rewards by $300 (maintained at 0.30%). Additionally, the included AI website builder saves $29-99 monthly ($348-1,188 annually). Compared to post-graduation fees of 2-5% on other platforms, Spawned's 1% fee saves $1,000-4,000 annually per $100,000 in volume.
Yes, you can adjust slippage settings after launch on Spawned. However, changes may require community notification since they affect trade execution and fees. We recommend testing with small trades first and documenting any changes in your token's communications. For major adjustments, consider a community vote or announcement to maintain transparency. The process typically involves accessing your token dashboard and modifying the trade execution parameters.
pump.fun offers 0% creator fees but also provides 0% holder rewards. Spawned with optimized slippage offers 0.10% creator fees plus 0.30% holder rewards. On $100,000 volume: pump.fun earns you $0; Spawned earns you $100 plus provides $300 to holders. Additionally, Spawned includes an AI website builder (worth $29-99/month) and charges only 0.1 SOL to launch versus potential hidden costs elsewhere. Post-graduation, Spawned's 1% fee is typically lower than alternatives.
Setting slippage below 10% on Solana risks frequent failed transactions. During periods of volatility, prices can move 5-10% in seconds. If your slippage is set at 5%, many trades will fail, frustrating users who may abandon your token. Failed transactions still cost gas fees (though minimal on Solana). We recommend starting at 12% and only going to 10% if you observe consistently successful trades during testing periods. Monitor your token's trading patterns and adjust accordingly.
Optimized slippage primarily affects trade execution, not underlying liquidity or price stability. However, by ensuring more reliable trade execution, you may actually improve liquidity over time as traders have better experiences. The 0.30% holder rewards distributed through Spawned's system can increase holding incentives, potentially reducing sell pressure. Proper slippage settings also help prevent front-running and sandwich attacks that can negatively impact token prices.
Transparency is key. Explain that: 1) 10-15% slippage ensures their trades execute reliably, 2) This setting reduces your creator fee from 0.30% to 0.10%, making the token more sustainable, 3) Holder rewards remain at the full 0.30%, directly benefiting them, 4) Compared to alternatives, this approach balances fair compensation with community benefits.
