The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Slow Transactions Kill Token Momentum
A slow transaction is more than an inconvenience; it's a growth barrier.
For a new token, user experience is everything. When a buyer faces a 30-second wait for a swap to confirm, or a holder can't sell during a dip because the network is congested, trust evaporates. This isn't just about high gas fees—it's about finality speed. On some blockchains, even paying a high fee doesn't guarantee your transaction will be included in the next block during peak times. This uncertainty creates a poor environment for the active trading and community engagement that tokens need to thrive. It directly impacts the creator's ability to build a sustainable project, as frustrated users leave for faster alternatives.
The Solution: Build on a Fast Blockchain from Day One
The most effective way to solve slow transactions is to avoid them entirely by launching on a blockchain engineered for speed and scalability. Solana is the clear choice for token creators prioritizing transaction speed. Its architecture uses Proof of History and parallel execution to process thousands of transactions per second at an average cost of $0.00025. This means your token's buys, sells, and transfers are confirmed in ~400 milliseconds, consistently. Choosing the right launchpad is the next critical step to ensure your token deployment is optimized to use this speed effectively.
- Solana's Average Transaction Speed: ~400 milliseconds (vs. 12+ seconds on some chains).
- Key Advantage: Parallel processing prevents single transactions from blocking the network.
- Result for Creators: A predictable, fast user experience that supports active communities and trading.
How Spawned Uses Solana's Speed to Your Advantage
It's not just about the blockchain; it's about the launchpad built for it.
Launching a token on Solana is a start, but the launchpad you choose dictates how well you utilize that speed. Spawned is built specifically for the Solana ecosystem, ensuring your token launch is not just fast but also feature-rich and sustainable.
| Feature | Typical Slow Chain Launch | Spawned on Solana |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Finality | 12 sec - several minutes | ~0.4 seconds |
| Launch Cost | $50 - $500+ in gas | 0.1 SOL (~$20) flat fee |
| Post-Launch Fees | Often 1%+ to creator only | 0.30% to creator + 0.30% to holders |
| Website Setup | Manual, costs extra | AI Website Builder included (saves $29-99/mo) |
Spawned's model means your community benefits from Solana's speed and gets rewarded for holding, creating a positive feedback loop. The included AI website builder lets you establish a professional online presence instantly, without the monthly subscription cost of other services.
3 Steps to Launch a Fast-Transaction Token on Spawned
Transition from idea to a live, fast-trading token in under 10 minutes.
- Prepare Your Assets: Have your token's name, symbol, and description ready. Prepare any social media links and a logo image. You'll also need a Solana wallet (like Phantom) with at least 0.1 SOL for the launch fee and a small amount for initial liquidity.
- Use the AI Website Builder: On Spawned, input your project details. The AI will generate a professional landing page with your tokenomics, social links, and a purchase widget. This is included at no extra cost and deploys instantly.
- Deploy on Solana: Finalize your token creation with one click. Spawned handles the smart contract deployment on Solana. Your token will be live with instant, sub-second transactions, and the 0.30%/0.30% fee/reward structure will be active from the first trade.
Fast Transactions + Holder Rewards = Stronger Community
Combine technical speed with economic incentives for maximum effect.
Speed alone is a feature. Speed combined with a tangible benefit for holders is a strategy. Spawned's unique 0.30% ongoing reward to holders on every transaction does two things: it incentivizes long-term holding, which reduces sell pressure, and it makes the fast transaction experience financially rewarding. When users know they earn tokens passively just by holding, and can trade those tokens instantly without congestion, you build a more resilient and engaged community. This is a significant advantage over platforms that offer no holder incentives. Compare this to launching a gaming token on Ethereum, where speed is lower and implementing such a reward system would be more complex and costly.
Cost Analysis: Solving Slow Transactions
A transparent model where speed and value are built-in, not premium add-ons.
Solving the slow transaction problem doesn't require a large budget; it requires a smart allocation. Here’s the full financial picture of using Spawned on Solana:
- Launch Fee: 0.1 SOL (approximately $20). This is a one-time cost to create and deploy your token with a website.
- Recurring Website Cost: $0. The AI website builder is included, saving you the typical $29 to $99 per month for a similar SaaS tool.
- Transaction Fees (for users): ~$0.00025 per trade on the Solana network. This is the cost your community pays for speed.
- Creator Revenue: 0.30% of every trade. This is your sustainable income stream.
- Holder Rewards: 0.30% of every trade distributed to token holders. This is your community growth engine.
- Post-Graduation Fee: After your token reaches a certain threshold and 'graduates' from Spawned, a 1% fee is applied to trades using the Token-2022 standard, ensuring the platform's sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Primarily, yes. While a poorly coded smart contract can cause issues, the overwhelming cause of slow transactions for new tokens is blockchain congestion and architectural limits. Networks that process transactions sequentially (one after another) will slow down under load, regardless of the token's code. Solana's parallel processing design avoids this core problem.
Solana uses a combination of Proof of History (a cryptographic clock) and parallel execution via Sealevel. This allows the network to process tens of thousands of transactions simultaneously across multiple cores. Ethereum processes transactions in a single, sequential queue, leading to bottlenecks and variable confirmation times, especially during popular token launches or NFT mints.
No. The 0.30% holder reward is a feature of the token's economics, managed by the smart contract. It does not add computational complexity to the transaction itself. The transaction is still validated and confirmed by the Solana network at its native speed of ~400ms. The reward distribution is a separate, efficient accounting step that happens post-confirmation.
You cannot directly 'migrate' a token from one blockchain to another. However, you can launch a new version of your token on Solana via Spawned. This involves deploying a new token contract and typically setting up a process to allow holders of the old token to swap for the new, faster one. It's a strategic reboot that requires clear communication with your existing community.
The AI website builder itself doesn't affect blockchain speed. It solves a related problem: user onboarding. A fast token is useless if users can't easily find a trustworthy place to buy it. The instant, professional website provides clear information and a direct purchase portal, reducing friction. This ensures users can benefit from Solana's speed immediately, without being slowed down by a poor launch experience.
Graduation occurs when your token reaches a significant market cap or volume milestone. At this point, it transitions to using Solana's Token-2022 standard, and a 1% fee is applied to trades. This fee supports the ongoing development of the Spawned platform. Crucially, the transaction speed remains on the Solana network—it does not slow down. Your token continues to benefit from Solana's performance while contributing to the ecosystem.
The 0.1 SOL covers the token and website deployment fee on Spawned. You will need additional SOL to provide initial liquidity for your token on a decentralized exchange (DEX). The amount varies based on your goals, but even a small amount (e.g., 1-2 SOL) can create a functional pool. Remember, on Solana, this liquidity can be added with extremely low transaction costs compared to other chains.
