How to Solve Slow Transactions for Your Token Launch
Slow transactions can kill a token's momentum before it starts. This strategy outlines how to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the launch process. Using Solana's speed and the right launchpad tools ensures your project launches fast and scales smoothly.

Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
The Verdict on Solving Slow Transactions
The fastest path from idea to live token.
The most effective strategy to solve slow transactions is a dual approach: choose the Solana network for its inherent speed, and use a launchpad like Spawned that integrates an AI website builder to remove pre-launch delays. This combination addresses both the network-layer and operational-layer bottlenecks that cause launches to stall. While other chains offer solutions, Solana's 400ms block time and low-cost transactions provide a foundational advantage that is difficult to match. The goal isn't just a fast initial launch, but a system that remains fast as your community and trading volume grow.
Where Slowdowns Happen: A Comparison
Slow transactions aren't just about the blockchain. Delays occur at multiple stages. Here’s a breakdown of where time is lost on different platforms versus the integrated Spawned approach.
| Stage | Traditional Multi-Tool Process | Spawned's Integrated Process | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website Creation | Hire a dev or use separate builder ($29-99/month). Wait 1-5 days. | Use the included AI website builder. | 1-5 days |
| Token Deployment | Use a separate launchpad, then link your site. Manual steps cause errors. | One-click launch deploys token and connects site automatically. | 2-8 hours |
| Initial Liquidity | Manually create LP, often requiring multiple transactions and wallet confirmations. | Liquidity is automatically created as part of the 0.1 SOL launch fee. | 30-60 minutes |
| Post-Launch Updates | Update website and token info on different platforms. | Manage everything from a single dashboard. | Ongoing hours per week |
The main takeaway: operational friction is a major source of delay. Combining tools into one workflow is a core part of the speed strategy.
Why Solana is the Foundation of This Strategy
Choosing your blockchain is the first and most critical decision for speed. Ethereum, even with Layer 2s, introduces complexity and potential bridge delays. Networks like Base are faster than Ethereum mainnet but don't match Solana's raw throughput. Solana's architecture is built for high frequency, with the ability to process thousands of transactions in the time it takes other networks to finalize one. For a token launch, this means: instant confirmation for your deploy transaction, near-instant trades for your first buyers, and no network congestion slowing down your community's activity during critical early moments. This network-level speed is non-negotiable for a strategy focused on eliminating wait times.

4-Step Strategy for a Fast Launch
A procedural guide to removing friction points.
Follow these concrete steps to execute a launch free of slow transactions.
Step 1: Pre-Launch Preparation with AI Use the AI website builder to generate your project's landing page. Input your token name, concept, and social links. This replaces days of design and development work, ensuring your marketing hub is ready instantly upon launch.
Step 2: Configure for Speed Set your tokenomics with the future in mind. While Spawned uses a low 0.1 SOL launch fee, the sustainable 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward are automatically configured. This prevents you from needing to manually adjust fees later, which can pause trading.
Step 3: One-Click Deployment Execute the launch. On Solana via Spawned, this is a single transaction that handles token creation, initial liquidity pool formation, and website connection. Compare this to processes requiring 5+ separate transactions on other platforms.
Step 4: Post-Launch Scaling Plan Have a plan for graduation to a DEX like Raydium. Spawned's use of Token-2022 with 1% perpetual fees post-graduation means your revenue model is set, avoiding governance votes or contract migrations that can stall project growth.
How Fee Structure Affects Transaction Speed
The right fees keep everything moving.
Your token's fee model isn't just about revenue; it directly impacts user experience and transaction speed. Here’s how:
- Zero-Fee Models Cause Problems: Platforms with 0% creator fees often have hidden costs or lack sustainable development. This can lead to sudden fee introductions or abandoned projects, causing confusion and stalled transactions as users hesitate.
- High Fees Deter Activity: Excessive taxes (5%+) on every transaction make users think twice before trading, reducing volume and liquidity, which in turn can slow down price discovery and trading.
- The Spawned Balance: A 0.30% creator fee is low enough to not deter trading but provides continuous funding for development. The unique 0.30% holder reward incentivizes holding, which reduces sell-pressure volatility and creates a more stable, active trading environment.
- Predictable Post-Graduation: The 1% fee structure after moving to a major DEX is set from the start using Token-2022. This prevents a chaotic, slow migration process later that can freeze project momentum.
Troubleshooting: Still Experiencing Slowness?
Pinpointing and fixing remaining hiccups.
If you've chosen Solana and an efficient launchpad but are facing delays, check these points:
- Problem: Wallet transaction is pending or failing.
- Check: Your RPC connection. Public RPCs can get overloaded. Consider using a private RPC endpoint for more reliable performance during high-demand events.
- Problem: Website is loading slowly for users.
- Check: The hosting from your AI-built site. Spawned sites are deployed on global CDNs, ensuring fast load times worldwide, which is critical for capturing immediate interest.
- Problem: Trades are not executing quickly after launch.
- Check: Initial liquidity depth. A very small initial pool can lead to high slippage and slow order matching. The standard launch process on Spawned creates sufficient starting liquidity to facilitate smooth early trading.
- Problem: Community reporting delays buying or selling.
- Check: The token's tax structure on the trading UI. Make sure the correct, minimal fees (0.30% creator / 0.30% holder) are clearly displayed to avoid user confusion that mimics a slow transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
The primary cause is choosing a slow blockchain network, like Ethereum mainnet, which has high congestion and low throughput. The second major cause is using a fragmented launch process that requires multiple separate tools and manual steps, introducing coordination delays and human error.
Solana is significantly faster. Ethereum processes 15-30 transactions per second (TPS) with block times around 12 seconds. Solana handles up to 65,000 TPS with block times of 400 milliseconds. This means your token deployment and the first trades confirm in under a second on Solana, versus potentially minutes on Ethereum.
Yes, it saves substantial time and cost. Manually building or hiring a developer for a token website can take 1-5 days and cost hundreds of dollars. The AI builder creates a professional, connected site in minutes, included with your launch. This eliminates a major pre-launch bottleneck.
Sustainable fees prevent future slowdowns. A 0% fee model is unsustainable, often leading to abandoned projects or sudden, disruptive fee changes that confuse users and halt trading. Our 0.30% creator fee funds ongoing development, and the 0.30% holder reward encourages holding, reducing volatile sell pressure that can clog the order book.
Yes, the strategy includes post-launch. Using Token-2022 programmability, the 1% fee structure for post-graduation to a DEX is pre-configured. This avoids a slow, complex migration process later. Furthermore, the Solana network's scalability means transaction speed remains high as your community and trade volume grow.
The 0.1 SOL fee covers the launch platform cost and initial liquidity pool creation. This automated process ensures there is immediate, sufficient liquidity for smooth trading from the first moment. It removes the manual, multi-step liquidity provisioning that is a common source of delay and error on other platforms.
