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 Real Cost of Low Liquidity
Beyond just a number, liquidity is the lifeblood of your token's economy.
A token with low liquidity suffers from high price slippage, making even small trades expensive and unattractive. This creates a negative feedback loop: low volume discourages new buyers, which further reduces volume. Projects can become trapped, unable to attract the capital needed for development or marketing. For creators, this often means a stalled community and diminished revenue potential. Platforms that offer zero creator fees, like pump.fun, provide no built-in incentive structure to combat this stagnation from day one.
Launchpad Strategies for Liquidity
The right launchpad builds liquidity into your token's DNA.
Your launchpad choice sets the initial liquidity conditions. A platform focused only on the initial pump often leaves tokens stranded.
| Feature | Spawned | Typical "Pump & Dump" Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% per trade | 0% (no ongoing incentive) |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% distributed to holders | Rare or non-existent |
| Post-Graduation Model | 1% fee via Token-2022 | Often abandoned |
| Initial Cost | 0.1 SOL launch fee | Varies, often low |
Spawned's model is designed for sustainability. The 0.30% creator fee funds project development, while the 0.30% holder reward encourages buying and holding, directly generating trade volume. This built-in economic engine starts working immediately to reduce low liquidity risks. Learn how to launch a gaming token on Solana with a sustainable model.
5 Methods to Reduce Low Liquidity
Here are specific, actionable methods creators can implement before and after launch.
- Structure Holder Incentives Early: Design a tokenomics model that rewards holding. Spawned's automatic 0.30% distribution to holders on every trade is a clear, transparent incentive that promotes volume.
- Allocate a Dedicated Liquidity Pool: Don't rely solely on automated market makers from the launch. Commit a portion of your token supply and paired SOL to a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) to establish a price floor and reduce slippage.
- Implement Consistent Buybacks or Burns: Use a portion of the creator revenue (like the 0.30% from Spawned) for periodic token buybacks or burns. This reduces circulating supply and can create positive price pressure, attracting traders.
- Run Targeted Engagement Campaigns: Use the savings from included tools (like the $29-99/month value of Spawned's AI website builder) to fund marketing campaigns, contests, or airdrops that require holding a minimum balance to participate, driving both awareness and locked liquidity.
- Plan for the Long-Term with Token-2022: Utilize Solana's Token-2022 program for graduated tokens to enable a 1% transfer fee. This creates a perpetual funding mechanism for community rewards, liquidity provisioning, and development, directly combating liquidity decay over time.

The Most Effective Method to Reduce Low Liquidity
Sustainable liquidity is engineered, not hoped for.
The single most effective method is to choose a launchpad with sustainable, built-in economic incentives from day one. While marketing and community management are vital, they fight an uphill battle if the token's core mechanics don't reward participation.
Platforms that offer zero ongoing fees sacrifice long-term viability for short-term appeal. In contrast, a model like Spawned's—with a 0.30% creator fee for development and a 0.30% reward distributed to holders—directly aligns the success of traders, holders, and creators. This alignment generates organic trading activity, which is the definitive solution to low liquidity. Pair this with a clear post-graduation path (the 1% Token-2022 fee) and you have a framework for lasting volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
There's no fixed number, but warning signs include daily trading volume consistently below $10,000, a liquidity pool with less than $5,000 in total value locked (TVL), and high price impact (over 5%) for a $100 trade. If buying or selling small amounts significantly moves the price, your liquidity is too low.
Yes, but it requires proactive steps. You can incentivize liquidity provision (LP) by offering token rewards to users who add your token to a DEX pool. Implementing a buyback mechanism with project treasury funds or starting a clear holder reward program (if your token supports it) can also stimulate trading volume. Migrating to a model with built-in fees, like Spawned's post-graduation to Token-2022, is a strategic long-term fix.
It directly incentivizes buying and holding. When holders know they will earn a 0.30% share of every single trade, they are more likely to buy the token and less likely to sell it quickly. This holding pressure reduces sell-side pressure and encourages new buyers seeking the reward, which increases the number of trades and the overall trading volume—the definition of liquidity.
Not necessarily. A fee that's too high (e.g., 5%+) can discourage trading altogether. The key is balance. Spawned's 0.30% is low enough to not be a major barrier for traders, but provides enough consistent revenue for creators to fund marketing, development, and liquidity provisioning efforts that combat low volume over time.
Trading volume is the total value of tokens traded in a period (e.g., $50,000 in 24 hours). Liquidity is the ability to execute those trades without drastically affecting the price. High volume with low liquidity causes wild price swings. The goal is to have both high volume *and* deep liquidity, allowing for large, smooth trades.
It reduces operational costs. Saving $29-99 per month on a website builder means that capital can be reallocated. Creators can use those savings to directly fund a liquidity pool, run a trading competition, or create an airdrop campaign—all activities that directly increase token trading volume and reduce low liquidity.
Plan your graduation. Before moving your token, ensure you have a multi-sig wallet ready to manage a liquidity pool. Use the final revenue from the launchpad phase to seed this new pool. Platforms like Spawned that offer a post-graduation model (the 1% Token-2022 fee) provide a continuous revenue stream to maintain and grow this liquidity, preventing the common post-graduation liquidity drop.
