Secure Your Token Launch: Scam Prevention Techniques for Creators

The AI website builder creates professional, verifiable documentation that establishes project legitimacy. It generates clear tokenomics pages, team information sections, and roadmap details that would cost $29-99/month separately. This documentation serves as proof of serious intent—scams typically avoid detailed, public documentation. The website also provides a central source of truth that prevents impersonation scams using fake social media accounts or channels.

Liquidity locks prevent immediate access to pooled funds by time-locking them in smart contracts. For example, locking 80% of liquidity for 6 months means creators cannot withdraw those funds during that period. This protects holders from 'rug pulls' where creators remove all liquidity suddenly. Combined with multi-signature wallets requiring multiple approvals for treasury access, liquidity locks create substantial barriers to fraudulent exit strategies.

The 0.1 SOL launch fee creates meaningful economic commitment from creators. Completely free launches attract low-effort projects and potential scams with nothing to lose. A reasonable fee filters out unserious attempts while funding the security infrastructure, contract audits, and platform maintenance that enable prevention features. It's an investment in credibility—holders perceive paid launches as more legitimate than completely free alternatives.

The 0.30% ongoing holder reward distribution creates loyal community members with vested interest in project success. Rewarded holders are more likely to defend the project against FUD, report suspicious activity, and provide constructive feedback. This creates natural community moderation and early warning systems. Additionally, the regular reward distribution requires ongoing project operation, making sudden abandonment more difficult and suspicious.

While no system prevents 100% of scams, these techniques address the most common fraudulent patterns: rug pulls, exit scams, and fake projects. They create multiple verification layers (contract audits, liquidity locks, documentation) and economic disincentives (creator revenue, holder rewards). However, social engineering scams targeting individual holders still require community education. Spawned's approach significantly raises the difficulty and reduces the profitability of fraudulent launches.

While similar prevention principles apply across chains, Spawned's Solana-focused approach offers specific advantages. Solana's lower transaction costs make the 0.30% creator revenue and holder rewards economically viable at smaller scales. The AI website builder and integrated tools provide chain-agnostic prevention, but the economic model is optimized for Solana's fee structure.

Post-graduation to Token-2022 activates 1% perpetual fees that fund continued development, creating ongoing prevention through project sustainability. This transitions your token from launch phase to established project with dedicated funding for security updates, feature development, and community management. The graduation process includes additional verification steps, creating another prevention layer before accessing Token-2022's advanced features and permanent fee structure.
