The Best Way to Prevent Security Audits
Stop paying for audits you don't need
The most effective method to prevent mandatory security audits is using Spawned's pre-audited launchpad infrastructure. Traditional platforms require individual project audits costing $10,000-$50,000 and taking 4-8 weeks. Spawned provides standardized, battle-tested smart contracts that have undergone comprehensive security reviews at the platform level. This eliminates the audit requirement for individual creators while maintaining higher security standards than most DIY projects achieve.
By launching through Spawned, you gain the security benefits without the cost or delay. The platform's smart contracts handle token creation, distribution, and trading with built-in protections against common vulnerabilities like mint authority exploits, tax manipulation, and liquidity pool attacks. This approach saves creators 97%+ on launch costs compared to audit-required platforms.
Audit Requirements vs. Audit-Free Launching
| Requirement | Traditional Audit Path | Spawned's Audit-Free Path |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $10,000-$50,000 audit fee | 0.1 SOL (~$20) launch fee |
| Time Delay | 4-8 weeks for audit completion | Launch in minutes |
| Security Level | Project-specific review | Platform-level, pre-audited contracts |
| Ongoing Protection | Single audit point | Continuous platform monitoring |
| Creator Revenue | 0% (audit costs eat profits) | 0.30% per trade revenue |
| Holder Rewards | None typically | 0.30% ongoing distribution |
Traditional security audits create significant barriers for new creators. The $10,000 minimum audit cost represents 500x more than Spawned's launch fee. The 4-8 week delay often causes projects to miss market opportunities entirely. By contrast, Spawned's approach provides immediate access to enterprise-grade security infrastructure without the individual audit requirement.
5 Specific Methods to Prevent Security Audits
Each method addresses specific audit triggers that platforms and communities look for. The most reliable approach combines multiple methods, particularly using pre-audited infrastructure with standard token implementations. This satisfies security concerns while avoiding the formal audit requirement.
For example, when launching gaming tokens on Solana, using Spawned's standardized contracts eliminates the audit requirement that would normally apply to gaming-specific token mechanics. The same principle applies to Ethereum-based gaming tokens and Base network tokens.
- Use Pre-Audited Launchpad Infrastructure: Platforms like Spawned provide standardized smart contracts that have undergone comprehensive security reviews. This transfers the audit burden from individual creators to the platform.
- Implement Standard Token Standards: Use established token standards like SPL on Solana that have been extensively tested. Custom contracts almost always trigger audit requirements.
- Avoid Custom Tax Mechanisms: Complex tax structures (auto-burn, reflection, etc.) require individual audits. Stick to standard fee structures or use platform-provided options.
- Limit Admin Functions: Excessive owner controls (minting, pausing, modifying taxes) raise red flags. Use time-locks and multi-sig requirements instead of single-point control.
- Transparent Code Documentation: Well-documented, commented code with clear function purposes can sometimes satisfy basic security checks without full audits.
Step-by-Step: Launch Without an Audit
- Choose an Audit-Free Platform: Select Spawned over audit-required platforms. Verify the platform uses pre-audited contracts with public verification.
- Configure Standard Parameters: Set standard tax rates (0-10%), standard supply (1M-1B), and standard distribution. Avoid exotic settings that trigger review requirements.
- Use Platform Security Features: Enable available protections like trade limits, wallet restrictions, and liquidity locks provided by the platform.
- Complete Platform Verification: Provide required KYC/AML documentation if needed. Most audit-free platforms have simpler verification than audit processes.
- Launch Immediately: Deploy your token in minutes rather than weeks. The platform handles security at infrastructure level.
This process typically takes 10-15 minutes versus 4-8 weeks for audit-based launches. The key difference is shifting security responsibility from individual project review to platform infrastructure assurance.
Financial Impact: Audit vs. Audit-Free
Audit-Based Launch (Traditional)
- Audit Cost: $10,000 (minimum)
- Launch Fees: $500-$2,000
- Time Cost: 4-8 weeks of delayed revenue
- Lost Opportunities: Missed market windows
- Total Effective Cost: $15,000-$60,000
Audit-Free Launch (Spawned)
- Launch Fee: 0.1 SOL (~$20)
- AI Website: $29-$99/month value (included)
- Time to Launch: Minutes
- Creator Revenue: 0.30% per trade immediately
- Holder Rewards: 0.30% ongoing distribution
- Total Effective Cost: $20 + opportunity gain
The financial difference is dramatic. Audit-free launching saves 99.8% on upfront costs while generating revenue immediately. The included AI website builder alone represents $348-$1,188 annual value, further reducing effective costs. When launching gaming tokens, these savings can be redirected to development, marketing, or community building.
Maintaining Security Without Individual Audits
Critics sometimes claim that avoiding individual audits compromises security. The reality is opposite: platform-level security often provides better protection than one-time project audits.
Spawned's infrastructure includes:
- Continuous Monitoring: 24/7 security monitoring vs. single audit point
- Automatic Updates: Security patches applied platform-wide vs. manual updates
- Battle-Tested Code: Thousands of launches stress-testing vs. theoretical review
- Economic Protections: Built-in mechanisms against common exploits like honeypots and rug pulls
- Transparent Operations: All platform actions are verifiable on-chain
This approach provides ongoing security rather than the snapshot-in-time protection of traditional audits. The 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward structure creates aligned incentives for long-term security maintenance, unlike audit-only approaches where security responsibility ends with report delivery.

Custom smart contracts with unique features almost always require audits. This includes complex DeFi tokens, gaming tokens with special mechanics, tokens with automated tax systems, and any project with custom minting/burning logic. Standard SPL tokens on Solana or ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum using established platforms like Spawned typically avoid individual audit requirements through platform-level security.
Yes, through Spawned's platform extensions rather than custom contracts. The platform offers configurable features like adjustable taxes, reflection rewards, and auto-liquidity that have been pre-audited. For truly unique requirements, consider phased implementation: launch a standard token first, then add features post-launch using platform-approved modules. This approach maintains security while allowing customization.
Spawned employs multiple security layers: 1) Pre-audited, standardized smart contracts used by all creators, 2) Continuous 24/7 security monitoring and threat detection, 3) Automatic updates and patches applied platform-wide, 4) Economic protections against common exploits, and 5) Transparent, on-chain verification of all operations. This provides ongoing protection superior to most one-time project audits.
Spawned's platform-level security allows immediate response. Issues are patched across all tokens simultaneously, and affected creators are notified immediately. The 0.30% creator fee funds ongoing security maintenance and rapid response capabilities. This contrasts with individually audited projects where creators must fund and manage their own security responses after the audit period ends.
Yes, Spawned supports seamless migration to more complex platforms if your project outgrows the launchpad stage. The Token-2022 standard enables smooth transitions. Many creators use Spawned for initial launch to avoid audit costs, then consider audits only if custom functionality becomes absolutely necessary later. This staged approach optimizes both cost and security at each growth phase.
Spawned's 0.30% holder reward system uses pre-audited distribution mechanisms built into the platform. Every trade automatically distributes rewards proportionally to holders. This eliminates the need for custom reward contracts that would require individual audits. The system is transparent, automatic, and secure through platform-level implementation rather than project-specific coding.
