The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Most Token Awareness Strategies Fail
A launch without a growth plan is a project destined for obscurity.
Many creators launch tokens with great ideas but no plan for ongoing visibility. They rely on a single social media post or a small airdrop, which creates a brief spike followed by silence. Without a structured incentive model, early holders have little reason to stay or promote the token. The token becomes just another name in a sea of thousands, struggling for attention in a saturated market. This is where a launchpad with built-in economic mechanics makes a difference.
The Verdict: A Dual-Platform Solution
For creators facing low awareness, Spawned provides the most integrated solution. It's not just a launchpad; it's a combined launch and marketing platform. The 0.30% creator fee per trade funds ongoing efforts, while the unique 0.30% holder reward program turns every investor into a potential promoter. Coupled with the instant AI website—a live, shareable hub for your project—you address the awareness gap from multiple angles immediately upon launch.
- Economic Engine: 0.30% creator fee funds marketing; 0.30% holder reward incentivizes sharing.
- Instant Presence: AI website builder provides a permanent, professional home base for your community.
- Cost-Effective Test: Launch for 0.1 SOL to validate your community strategy without major upfront cost.
A 5-Step Strategy to Build Token Awareness
Follow this actionable plan from pre-launch to sustained growth.
Traditional Launch vs. Spawned's Awareness-First Model
Building awareness requires more than a low fee—it requires a sustainable economic model.
| Aspect | Traditional/Pump.fun Launch | Spawned Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | Low or zero fee. | 0.1 SOL (~$20) includes website. |
| Ongoing Creator Funding | None. Relies on personal funds or token sales. | 0.30% fee on every trade creates a sustainable marketing budget. |
| Holder Incentive to Promote | None. Price speculation is the only driver. | 0.30% ongoing rewards give holders a direct, passive income reason to support the project. |
| Professional Presence | Requires separate website build ($29-99/month + dev time). | AI website builder included, live at launch. |
| Long-Term Model | Often a "pump and dump" with no plan. | Clear path to Token-2022 with 1% fees for perpetual development. |
The key difference is sustainability. Traditional models extract value from holders. Spawned's model shares value with holders, aligning their success with the project's visibility.

3 Awareness Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
Even with the right tools, strategy matters. Avoid these common mistakes.
- Pitfall 1: Silent After Launch. You post 'IT'S LIVE!' and go quiet. Solution: Use the initial 0.30% creator fee generated from early trades to fund a week-long content plan. Post updates, explain the holder rewards, and share community highlights on your new website.
- Pitfall 2: Ignoring Holder Rewards as a Message. Treating the 0.30% holder reward as just a feature. Solution: Make it your primary message. 'Earn 0.30% rewards just for holding while supporting our project' is a powerful call-to-action that drives both investment and word-of-mouth.
- Pitfall 3: No Plan for Fees. Letting the generated 0.30% fees sit idle. Solution: Be transparent. Announce a 'Community Growth Fund' powered by transaction fees. Use it for buybacks, airdrops to top promoters, or funding a How to launch a gaming token on Solana tournament if you're a gaming project.

It transforms holders into promoters. When someone earns passive income simply by holding your token, they have a tangible reason to want the project to succeed. They are more likely to share it with friends, post about it on social media, and defend it in community discussions.

It includes all critical information, social links, and token details. It saves you significant time and money upfront. As your project grows, you can always choose to build a custom site later, but the Spawned site will always serve as a reliable, official landing page for your token.
The 0.30% creator fee is active from the moment your token launches on Spawned. It's a low, continuous fee on every trade that directly funds your wallet for marketing and development during the critical early growth phase.

This is a higher, perpetual fee that is locked into the token's mint and is designed to fund the project's very long-term vision and operations.
Absolutely. The awareness-through-incentives model is universal. For a gaming token, you can use the 0.30% creator fee to fund tournaments or in-game rewards, and the holder rewards give players an extra reason to engage. The strategy is detailed for various use cases, like [how to create a gaming token on Solana](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-solana).

It depends on trading volume. For example, if your token achieves $10,000 in daily trading volume, the 0.30% creator fee generates $30 per day, or $210 per week. This creates a meaningful weekly budget for social media boosts, graphic design, or small airdrops within the first week or two of launch, funding awareness efforts directly from the project's own activity.
Yes, the low initial cost (0.1 SOL) is a key advantage here. If your first awareness approach doesn't gain traction, you have capital and fees remaining to pivot. You can use the website to update your message, use the generated creator fees to try a different marketing tactic (like a community contest), or even highlight the holder reward more prominently. The model gives you the flexibility to experiment and adapt.
