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 'No Use Case' Tokens Fail
A token without a use case is a project without a future.
Launching a token without a defined purpose is a common pitfall. Initially, speculation might drive volume, but without utility, interest fades quickly. This leads to a steep decline in trading activity, liquidity drying up, and the community abandoning the project. The standard model on platforms like pump.fun offers creators 0% ongoing revenue, providing no incentive to maintain or develop the project after the initial launch phase. Without a built-in reason to hold, tokens become purely speculative assets with no foundation.
The Solution: Build Utility and Revenue from Launch
The most effective way to solve the no-use-case problem is to integrate utility and a sustainable economic model directly into your token's launch. Spawned provides this by combining a token launchpad with an AI website builder and a built-in revenue-sharing system. Instead of launching an empty token, you launch a token that is inherently tied to a service (a website) and a fair reward structure for both you and your holders. This transforms your token from a speculative object into a functional asset with clear, ongoing value.
- Immediate Utility: Every token launch includes a professional website, solving the 'what is this for?' question instantly.
- Creator Revenue: Earn 0.30% on every trade from day one, funding further development.
- Holder Incentives: 0.30% of every trade rewards holders, encouraging long-term ownership.
- Low Barrier: Start for just 0.1 SOL, making it accessible to test and validate your concept.
Traditional Launch vs. Spawned's Utility-First Model

| Feature | Traditional 'No Use Case' Launch | Spawned Utility-First Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | ~0.02 SOL for token only | 0.1 SOL for token + AI website |
| Ongoing Creator Fee | 0% (e.g., pump.fun) | 0.30% on every trade |
| Holder Rewards | None | 0.30% distributed to holders |
| Post-Graduation Fees | None | 1% perpetual via Token-2022 |
| Built-in Utility | None | AI website builder ($29-99/mo value) |
| Community Reason to Hold | Speculation only | Revenue sharing + access to site/services |
This comparison shows how Spawned's model addresses the core weaknesses of a standard launch. You aren't just creating a ticker symbol; you're launching a micro-economy.
4-Step Strategy to Launch a Token with Built-In Use Case
A clear, executable plan to replace emptiness with function.
Follow this actionable plan to move from a concept to a token with real utility.
Step 1: Define Your Niche and Website Purpose
Before launching, decide what your AI-built website will be for. It could be a blog for your community, a hub for project updates, a simple game, or a resource portal. This purpose becomes your token's initial use case. Learn about creating gaming tokens for niche ideas.
Step 2: Launch on Spawned with the AI Builder
Use Spawned's launchpad. For 0.1 SOL, you simultaneously deploy your Solana token and generate a live website. This step embeds utility from the first moment your token appears on the market.
Step 3: Communicate the Value to Your Community
Clearly explain to your community that holding your token supports your project (via the 0.30% creator fee) and rewards them directly (via the 0.30% holder distribution). The website serves as a central hub for this communication.
Step 4: Plan for Graduation and Long-Term Fees
As your token grows and graduates from the initial launch phase, the Token-2022 program enables a 1% perpetual fee. This creates a sustainable revenue model to fund ongoing website development, content creation, or new features, solving the 'what next?' problem.
Concrete Benefits of This Strategy
This isn't theoretical. Here are the specific, measurable advantages you gain.
- Guaranteed Savings: The included AI website builder replaces a monthly subscription costing $29 to $99, providing immediate financial utility to you as the creator.
- Predictable Micro-Revenue: The 0.30% trade fee generates income from day one. On $10,000 of daily volume, that's $30 per day for project development.
- Automatic Community Building: The 0.30% holder reward acts as an automatic, fair-share airdrop to every holder on every trade, incentivizing holding over quick flipping.
- Future-Proof Revenue: The 1% fee structure after graduation via Token-2022 ensures the project can generate revenue long-term, funding expansions like launching on other chains.
- Professional Presence: A live website adds legitimacy and a central information point, drastically increasing trust compared to a token with only a Telegram group.
Avoid These 'No Use Case' Launch Mistakes
Even with a better model, execution matters. Steer clear of these errors.
-
Mistake: Vague Website Purpose. Solution: Be specific. "A website for my art" is better than "a community hub."
-
Mistake: Not Promoting the Economic Model. Solution: Make the 0.30%/0.30% fee split a key selling point in your marketing. It's a unique feature.
-
Mistake: Ignoring the Post-Graduation Plan. Solution: From the start, discuss how the 1% perpetual fee will be used to add new website features or content, giving holders a vision for the future.
-
Mistake: Treating the Website as Static. Solution: Use the AI builder to update the site regularly. Announce updates via the site itself, creating a feedback loop that ties token value to site activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AI website builder itself *is* the initial use case. It provides a service (a hosted website) that has clear value, saving you monthly fees. Your token's initial utility is supporting and accessing that web project. This gives you a foundation to build upon, rather than starting from zero.
On every buy and sell transaction of your token, 0.30% of the trade value is automatically distributed proportionally to all current token holders. This happens in real-time on-chain. It means holders earn more tokens simply by holding, which encourages long-term support and reduces sell pressure.
Yes, utilizing the Token-2022 program for graduation on Spawned includes this 1% fee mechanism. This is a core feature designed to solve the long-term sustainability problem for creators. It ensures the project can fund ongoing development, moderation, and hosting costs for your website and community.
Absolutely. This strategy is ideal for gaming tokens. Your AI-built website can serve as the game's homepage, lore wiki, or leaderboard. The 0.30% creator fee can fund tournament prizes, and the holder rewards can act as an in-game staking mechanism.

Launching separately creates disjointed projects. On Spawned, the token and website are integrated from inception. More importantly, you gain the 0.30% creator revenue (pump.fun offers 0%), the 0.30% holder rewards, and the path to 1% perpetual fees. Separately, you'd pay for a website host, miss out on trade revenue, and have no built-in reward system for your community.
The website's primary initial role is to establish utility and legitimacy, not necessarily drive high traffic. The core economic model—the trade fees and holder rewards—operates independently of site traffic. However, an active site can increase token demand. The low 0.1 SOL launch cost minimizes the financial risk of testing this integrated approach.
Yes. The AI website builder allows you to edit, update, and completely redesign your site at any time after launch. This means your token's utility can evolve. You can start with a simple blog and later transform it into a more complex platform, using the perpetual fees to fund the upgrades.
