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.
The Core Problem with Low Token Volume
Why 'set and forget' token launches fail without volume.
Low trading volume creates a negative feedback loop: it discourages new buyers, increases price volatility from small trades, and makes liquidity provision unattractive. On platforms without built-in incentives, this often leads to abandoned projects. The solution requires addressing both technical liquidity and community engagement simultaneously.
Platforms like pump.fun offer 0% creator fees, which removes a key funding mechanism for project development. Without ongoing revenue, creators struggle to market their token or build utility, cementing the low-volume state.
Volume Optimization: Spawned vs. Standard Launchpads
A structural approach to building volume, not hoping for it.
Most launchpads treat volume as an outcome, not a feature to be engineered. Here’s how Spawned’s model is built differently to address low volume from the start.
| Feature | Standard Launchpad (e.g., pump.fun) | Spawned Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Incentive | 0% fee after launch. No funding for marketing. | 0.30% fee per trade. Creates a budget for volume-driving activities. |
| Holder Incentive | None. Holding is passive. | 0.30% ongoing holder rewards. Actively rewards long-term holders, reducing sell pressure. |
| Post-Launch Tools | Often separate, paid services ($29-99/month). | AI website builder included. Provides a free hub for announcements and utility. |
| Long-Term Model | Relies on external funding or community donations. | 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022 after graduation. Funds sustained development. |
The key difference is sustainable economics. Spawned’s fees are reinvestment mechanisms, not just costs.
5 Steps to Optimize Your Token's Trading Volume
A concrete plan to increase volume, starting from launch day.
Follow this actionable plan to improve liquidity and community engagement for your token.
- Launch with Built-In Holder Rewards. Choose a platform like Spawned that offers a share of trading fees (0.30%) to token holders. This turns every trade into a reward for your community, encouraging holding.
- Deploy Your AI-Powered Hub Immediately. Use the included website builder to publish your token’s purpose, roadmap, and social links. Direct all community traffic here to build a foundation beyond the chart. Learn about creating a token page.
- Allocate Your 0.30% Creator Revenue. Dedicate this income to specific goals: 50% for liquidity pool incentives, 30% for community contests, 20% for development. Transparently communicate this plan.
- Plan for the Token-2022 Transition. Structure your project to utilize the 1% perpetual fee model after graduating from the launchpad. This future revenue stream allows for long-term marketing and partnership development.
- Foster Utility-Driven Trading. Create reasons to use the token beyond speculation. This could be access to content, in-project features, or governance rights. Utility creates organic buy-and-hold demand.
How 0.30% Holder Rewards Combat Low Volume
Transforming passive holders into active volume participants.
The 0.30% holder reward is a direct economic tool against stagnation. Here’s how it works in practice:
Imagine a token with $10,000 in daily volume. On Spawned, $30 (0.30%) is distributed daily to all holders proportionally. For a holder with 1% of the supply, that’s $0.30 per day, or over $100 annually, just for holding.
This mechanism does two critical things: First, it provides a yield, making holding more attractive than selling in a quiet market. Second, it aligns holder interests with the creator’s—more volume means more rewards for everyone. This creates a community-driven push to share and promote the token, naturally boosting volume. Unlike static staking, these rewards are generated directly from organic trading activity.
Key Features for Long-Term Volume Health
Optimizing low volume isn't a one-time fix; it requires features that support growth over time. Spawned integrates these into the launch process.
- AI Website Builder (Included): A central, professional hub is critical for legitimacy. It hosts updates, documentation, and links, giving newcomers a reason to engage beyond price action. This saves $29-99/month compared to external builders.
- Graduation to Token-2022: The path to a 1% perpetual fee model provides a clear financial future. This predictable income allows for sustained marketing efforts, partnerships, and development that keep a project relevant.
- Low Launch Fee (0.1 SOL): Preserving capital is vital. A ~$20 launch fee means more of your budget can go toward initial liquidity provision and community incentives, rather than being spent on the launch itself.
Choosing the Right Strategy for Your Token
Matching your project's phase with the correct volume solution.
Your approach to volume depends on your project's stage and goals.
- For a brand-new token: Prioritize a launchpad with holder incentives and low upfront cost. The 0.30% reward system starts working from the first trade, and the 0.1 SOL fee preserves capital. Building your website on day one is non-negotiable.
- For a token with existing low volume: Focus on adding utility and communication. Use your existing community to ratify a move toward a model with holder rewards or a clear utility roadmap. Transparency about future plans can reignite interest.
- For long-term projects: Plan your graduation strategy. The 1% fee model via Token-2022 is designed for projects that intend to build for years, not weeks. It replaces the need for constant token minting or community fundraising.
For most creators, starting with a structure designed for sustainability, like Spawned’s, prevents volume issues before they begin. Compare launchpad features to see the full difference.
Build a Token Designed for Active Volume
Stop hoping for volume and start building it into your token's economics. Launch on Spawned to access holder rewards from day one, create your project hub with the AI builder, and establish a path to sustainable funding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but the approach differs. For an existing token, you cannot retroactively add holder rewards on a launchpad. However, you can implement similar mechanics through a smart contract upgrade or a new staking pool. The core principles—adding utility, improving communication via a dedicated site, and creating holding incentives—are universally applicable. The key is community transparency about any changes.
The 0.30% is taken from the trading fee on every buy and sell transaction. This fee pool is automatically distributed to all token holders in proportion to their share of the total supply. The process is handled by the smart contract, requiring no manual action from holders. It provides a continuous, passive reward for maintaining a position in the token.
While a 0% fee seems cheaper, it often leads to a disadvantage. The 0.30% fee provides the creator with ongoing revenue to fund marketing, development, and community initiatives—all activities that directly increase volume and token value. Without this budget, creators must self-fund, which is unsustainable and often leads to abandoned projects. The fee is an investment in the token's growth.
The 1% perpetual fee, enabled by Solana's Token-2022 program, provides long-term project sustainability. After graduating from the launchpad, this fee generates a reliable revenue stream to fund ongoing expenses like exchange listings, security audits, partnership development, and marketing campaigns. This allows the project to operate indefinitely without needing to sell treasury tokens or rely on donations.
Extremely important. A professional website acts as a central source of truth, reducing fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) among potential buyers. It builds legitimacy, showcases utility, and provides a place for updates. This reduces reliance on speculative pumps driven only by social media hype and fosters more stable, informed trading activity. It's a foundational tool for organic growth.
The core concepts—holder incentives, utility, and clear communication—work on any chain. However, the specific implementation (like 0.30% rewards) depends on the launchpad's features. Spawned's model is built for Solana's low fees and high speed. For other chains, you would need to find equivalent tools or custom-build the mechanics.
