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 Spawned Is the Secure Choice for Token Creators
The platform you choose sets the tone for your project's integrity.
For creators focused on scam prevention, Spawned provides a structured environment that discourages malicious intent and rewards legitimate building. Unlike platforms with 0% fees that can encourage 'pump and dump' schemes, our 0.30% creator fee and matching 0.30% holder reward create a balanced ecosystem. This financial structure makes launching a short-lived scam less profitable than building a real project with ongoing revenue. The integrated AI website builder ($29-99/mo value) forces you to present a professional project, a critical step most scams skip entirely.
Fee Structure Comparison: Incentivizing Honest Projects
A platform's fee model directly influences creator behavior. Let's compare how Spawned's model promotes security versus a zero-fee alternative.
Spawned's Security-First Model:
- Creator Fee: 0.30% per trade. Provides immediate, sustainable revenue, reducing pressure to exit scam.
- Holder Reward: 0.30% per trade. Rewards your community, aligning their success with yours.
- Post-Graduation Fee: 1% perpetual via Token-2022. Incentivizes long-term project development.
Zero-Fee Model (Typical of many launchpads):
- Creator Fee: 0%. No ongoing revenue stream, pushing creators towards a single large exit.
- Holder Reward: 0%. No built-in benefit for community holders.
- Result: The economic incentive shifts heavily towards a one-time 'rug pull' rather than sustained growth.
Spawned's model makes building a real, lasting project more financially sensible than executing a scam.
5-Step Trust Checklist for Your Token Launch
Security is built through a series of deliberate, visible actions.
Follow this actionable list to maximize your project's perceived security and legitimacy.
- Deploy with Transparent Fees: Use Spawned to launch with the 0.30%/0.30% fee/reward split visible from the start. This transparency is a powerful trust signal.
- Build a Professional Hub: Immediately use the included AI website builder. Create pages for your tokenomics, roadmap, and team. Link this site everywhere. Learn about creating a gaming token on Solana for content ideas.
- Communicate the Long-Term Plan: State your intention to graduate to Token-2022 for the 1% perpetual fee model. This shows you're planning for months or years, not days.
- Engage Before the Launch: Build a community on Twitter or Telegram before the token goes live. Answer questions publicly. Scams avoid prolonged interaction.
- Lock Initial Liquidity: While Spawned handles the initial launch, plan for and communicate any future liquidity locks. This is a critical post-launch trust step.
The AI Website Builder: Your First Line of Defense Against Scam Accusations
A common red flag for scams is the lack of a basic website or a single, low-quality landing page. Scammers avoid this work because they don't plan to be around long. By using Spawned's integrated AI website builder, you automatically overcome this major hurdle.
How it builds trust:
- Perception of Investment: A custom website signals you've invested time and resources. It's a $29-99/month value you provide at no extra cost.
- Information Hub: It becomes the central source for your whitepaper, tokenomics, and updates. This reduces community reliance on easily-faked chat messages.
- Brand Legitimacy: A professional site helps your token stand out from the thousands of meme coins with no digital home.
This tool doesn't just save you money; it actively works to validate your project's seriousness from the moment someone discovers it.
4 Common Scam Prevention Pitfalls (And How to Avoid Them)
Avoiding these mistakes is as important as implementing positive steps.
Even well-intentioned creators can make mistakes that erode trust. Be aware of these pitfalls.
- Anonymous Teams with No Plan to Doxx: While anonymity is common, pair it with a clear, multi-stage roadmap and consistent, quality communication. Over-deliver on promises.
- Unrealistic Tokenomics: Promising 1000x returns or unsustainable staking APY raises immediate red flags. Use Spawned's fee model to showcase realistic, sustainable rewards (like the 0.30% holder yield).
- Pressure to Buy Immediately: Scams use FOMO. Build a narrative over time. Let your website and community growth do the talking.
- Ignoring Community Questions: Silence is toxic. Active, polite engagement in public channels is a low-cost, high-impact trust builder. Address concerns directly.
Why Solana and Token-2022 Enhance Your Security Posture
Your blockchain and token standard choices communicate your project's sophistication.
Choosing Solana and planning for the Token-2022 standard are technical decisions with major security implications.
Solana's Speed & Low Cost: The negligible transaction fees (fractions of a cent) allow you to implement complex, trust-building features without burdening your community. You can airdrop, run promotions, or enable complex staking without the high gas fees that plague other chains.
Token-2022 for Advanced Control: Graduating your token to the Token-2022 program is a signal of maturity. It allows for:
- Transfer Fees: The 1% perpetual fee model. This creates a permanent, decentralized revenue stream for continued development, making a 'rug pull' illogical.
- Transfer Hooks: Potential for advanced logic (e.g., limiting wallet sizes at launch to prevent sniping).
Planning for this graduation from the start shows you understand and are preparing for long-term project management. It's a technical commitment to staying legitimate.

No, it often has the opposite effect. A small, transparent fee is a sign of a legitimate project planning for sustainability. It contrasts with scams that have 0% fees because they plan to exit with the entire liquidity pool. The 0.30% holder reward directly offsets this for your loyal community, creating a fairer ecosystem.
Yes, but it requires extra work. You must over-compensate with transparency in other areas: a detailed website with your full tokenomics and roadmap, extremely clear and frequent communication, and delivering on every milestone you announce. The AI website builder is essential for this. Your actions must build more trust than a public face would.
It removes the single biggest red flag: having no digital home. Scams avoid building websites because they are short-term operations. By forcing you to create a professional site immediately, Spawned makes your project appear invested and long-term. It provides a platform for transparent information, which scams actively avoid.
Scam prevention is foundational trust-building; marketing is growth on top of that foundation. Prevention includes your fee structure (0.30%/0.30%), having a website, and clear communication. Marketing is promoting your story and community. You cannot market successfully without first establishing basic trust. Spawned's features handle the foundational trust layer.
It changes the economic incentive. With a 1% fee on all future transfers, the project has a permanent, decentralized revenue stream. This makes abandoning the project (a rug pull) financially irrational, as the ongoing fees from a successful token will far exceed a one-time theft. It commits you to the long-term health of the token.
Spawned is built for Solana, which we recommend for its low fees and high-speed, crucial for implementing trust features without burdening users. While you can [create a gaming token on Ethereum](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-ethereum) or [on Base](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-base), the high gas costs on those networks can limit your ability to do frequent, trust-building actions like micro-airdrops or community rewards cost-effectively.
They align community and creator incentives. When holders earn a yield just for holding, they become long-term supporters. A creator planning an exit scam would be harming their own most loyal backers. This built-in reward system fosters a healthier, more invested community that actively monitors and supports the project's legitimacy.
