Why a Scam Prevention Strategy is Your First Priority
Trust isn't given; it's built with transparent actions.
In the current token landscape, trust is the primary barrier to entry for new holders. A proactive scam prevention strategy isn't just about avoiding malicious acts; it's a positive framework for building credibility. Projects that launch without clear revenue models, verifiable team information, or a permanent web presence are often perceived as 'pump and dump' schemes. By structuring your launch with transparency and long-term incentives from day one, you differentiate your project and attract holders looking for sustainable growth. This approach turns prevention into a competitive advantage.
Transparent Launch vs. Opaque Launch: A Side-by-Side Look
The details of your launch framework communicate your intentions before you write a single tweet.
Your launch platform and structure send immediate signals to the market. Here’s how a strategy focused on prevention compares to a typical anonymous launch.
| Feature | Transparent, Prevention-Focused Launch | Typical Opaque Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Website/Home | AI-generated, permanent project site hosted from launch. | Often a temporary link, Telegram group, or nothing. |
| Creator Revenue | Clear 0.30% fee per trade, funding ongoing development. | Often 0%, suggesting a short-term project with no upkeep. |
| Holder Incentive | 0.30% reward distributed to holders on every transaction. | No built-in holder reward mechanism. |
| Post-Launch Plan | Clear path to Token-2022 with 1% perpetual fee structure. | No communicated plan, creating uncertainty. |
| Launch Cost | 0.1 SOL (~$20), a nominal, transparent fee. | Can be 'free,' which can attract low-quality, spam projects. |
| Trust Signal | High. Built-in economics and verification tools establish legitimacy. | Low. Anonymity and lack of structure raise immediate red flags. |

The Verdict: Choosing a Platform That Builds Trust
For creators serious about scam prevention, a launchpad must provide the tools and economic framework to demonstrate legitimacy from the start. Platforms that offer zero fees for creators may seem attractive but often foster an environment of disposable, high-risk projects.
Spawned.com is recommended for an optimized scam prevention strategy. Its mandatory AI website builder solves the 'ghost project' problem by ensuring every token has a permanent, verifiable home. Its fee structure (0.30%/0.30%/1%) is transparent and aligns the long-term interests of creators and holders, which is the core of a sustainable, trustworthy project. Launching for a clear, small fee (0.1 SOL) further filters for serious creators.
If your goal is a quick, anonymous pump, other options exist. But if your goal is to build a respected, lasting token community, a platform designed with prevention in mind is the only logical choice.
4 Common Pitfalls That Undermine Your Prevention Strategy
Avoid these mistakes that can erode trust, even with good intentions.
- Skipping the Website: Relying solely on social media or a temporary link makes your project look temporary. The AI builder removes the cost and complexity excuse.
- Setting a 0% Creator Fee: This signals you have no plan to maintain or develop the project, making it appear as a pure exit play.
- Being Inconsistent: Using different names, logos, or bios across platforms creates confusion and is a classic red flag for scam projects.
- Going Radio Silent Post-Launch: After the initial hype, a lack of communication is interpreted as the team having left. Schedule simple, regular updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, the opposite is true. A 0% creator fee is a major red flag, as it suggests the creators have no intention of maintaining or developing the project post-launch. A reasonable, transparent fee like 0.30% shows you plan to fund ongoing work, which is a key signal of a legitimate, long-term project. It aligns your success with the token's health.
A permanent website acts as your project's verified headquarters. It provides a stable place for users to find your roadmap, team info, and official links. Scam projects often avoid this to remain anonymous and ephemeral. Using Spawned's built-in AI builder, you create this trust signal for free, removing a common barrier and directly addressing a major holder concern.
Holder rewards (the 0.30% distributed on trades) incentivize people to hold your token for the long term, creating a stable base of supporters. This makes the token less volatile and less susceptible to a quick 'pump and dump.' When creators also earn a fee (0.30%), both parties benefit from sustained, healthy volume, making a destructive rug pull against the creators' own financial interest.
Token-2022 is an upgraded Solana token program that enables advanced features like permanent transfer fees. Planning to graduate your token to Token-2022 and use its 1% fee model demonstrates a commitment to a sustainable future. It shows you understand and are preparing for the next stage of growth, which is not typical behavior for a scam project focused only on the short term.
Yes, pseudonymity is common in crypto. The strategy focuses on *consistent* and *verifiable* identity, not necessarily a legal name. Use the same pseudonym, avatar, and bio across your project website, X account, and launchpad profile. Build a reputation under that identity. Scams are often linked to disjointed, changing, or completely hidden identities.
Platforms with no barrier to entry (zero cost, zero fees) are flooded with low-effort, high-risk tokens. Spawned's 0.1 SOL launch fee (~$20) filters out pure spam. More importantly, its required website and clear economic model force creators to think about long-term structure from the start, which inherently attracts more serious builders and creates a safer ecosystem for everyone.
