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 Configure MetaMask for Spawned?
The right wallet setup is the gateway to Spawned's creator-focused economics.
Configuring MetaMask specifically for Spawned is required to interact with our Solana-based launchpad and access its unique features. A standard Ethereum setup will not connect. The correct configuration enables you to pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee, deploy tokens using our contracts, and automatically enroll in the platform's revenue model. This setup is a one-time process that unlocks the ability to earn 0.30% on every trade as a creator and distribute the matching 0.30% to token holders. Compared to platforms like pump.fun which offer 0% creator fees, this setup directly impacts your earning potential. Learn about launching gaming tokens on Solana for more context on the ecosystem.
Step-by-Step Configuration Process
A manual network addition is required—here are the exact fields to fill.
Follow these steps precisely to add the Spawned network to your MetaMask wallet. Ensure you are on the official Spawned.com site to avoid phishing networks.
- Open MetaMask: Click the extension icon in your browser.
- Select Network Dropdown: Click the network name (e.g., 'Ethereum Mainnet') at the top.
- Click 'Add Network': Scroll down and select 'Add network'.
- 'Add a network manually': You will need to enter the details manually. Do not use a network list.
- Enter Spawned Network Details: Input the following exact information:
- Network Name: Spawned Launchpad
- New RPC URL: (Use the official RPC endpoint provided in your Spawned dashboard after account creation)
- Chain ID: (Use the specific Chain ID listed in your Spawned dashboard)
- Currency Symbol: SOL
- Block Explorer URL: (Optional: Use the Solana FM or Solscan URL provided)
- Save: Click 'Save'. Your wallet will switch to the new 'Spawned Launchpad' network.
- Fund Your Wallet: Ensure you have SOL in this wallet to cover the 0.1 SOL launch fee and gas costs.
Important: The RPC URL and Chain ID are unique to Spawned's infrastructure and are provided within your project dashboard for security.
Essential Security & Contract Checks
After configuring the network, you must verify you are interacting with the official Spawned contracts. This prevents loss of funds.
Always cross-check these details before approving any transaction:
- Official Contract Address: Verify the token launch contract address matches the one published on Spawned.com's documentation. Never use an address from unofficial sources.
- Fee Structure Confirmation: When launching, the transaction should clearly show the 0.1 SOL launch fee and reference the 0.30% creator fee. If fees seem different, cancel the transaction.
- Website Verification: Only perform configuration and launches from the official https://spawned.com domain. Bookmark it.
- Holder Reward Clause: The contract interaction should include terms for the perpetual 0.30% holder reward distribution. This is a core Spawned feature.
- Post-Graduation Path: Understand that successful tokens may graduate to use Token-2022 with a 1% perpetual fee, managed through the same configured wallet.
Default vs. Spawned-Configured MetaMask
Using MetaMask with its default Ethereum settings will not work with Spawned. Here’s what changes after correct configuration.
| Feature | Default MetaMask (Ethereum) | Spawned-Configured MetaMask |
|---|---|---|
| Connected Network | Ethereum Mainnet | Spawned Launchpad (Solana-based) |
| Token Launch Fee | N/A | 0.1 SOL (approx. $20) |
| Creator Revenue | Not applicable | 0.30% on every trade |
| Platform Access | Cannot interact with Spawned | Full access to launchpad & AI website builder |
| Holder Rewards | None | Enables 0.30% ongoing distribution to holders |
| Post-Launch Tools | None | Includes AI website builder (saves $29-99/month) |
This configuration essentially transforms your wallet into a dedicated tool for launching tokens on Solana with Spawned's economic model, unlike platforms on other chains. For a comparison of launching on different networks, see our guides for Ethereum and Base.
Troubleshooting Configuration Problems
If you encounter issues after configuration, check these common problems.
- 'Network not added' Error: You likely entered the RPC URL or Chain ID incorrectly. Re-enter the details exactly as provided in your Spawned dashboard. They are case-sensitive.
- Transactions Failing: Ensure you have enough SOL in the wallet for the 0.1 SOL fee plus a small buffer for gas. Also, verify you are on the 'Spawned Launchpad' network, not 'Solana Mainnet' (they are different).
- Website Builder Not Appearing: The AI website builder is accessible after a successful token launch. If you've launched but don't see it, refresh the dashboard or check your connected wallet address matches the creator address.
- Fees Not Displaying Correctly: The 0.30% creator fee is embedded in the token contract and may not show as a separate transaction. It accrues automatically. Confirm the contract code verified on the block explorer includes the fee logic.
- Cannot See Holder Rewards: The 0.30% holder rewards are distributed automatically by the contract. Holders can see their accruals in the Spawned dashboard or by connecting their wallet to our rewards tracker.
What to Do After Configuration
With MetaMask properly configured, your next steps are straightforward. First, navigate to the launch section on Spawned.com. Your wallet should now connect without error, showing the 'Spawned Launchpad' network. You can then proceed to enter your token details (name, symbol, initial supply). The interface will calculate the required 0.1 SOL fee. Upon approval and launch, your token will be live, and you will immediately begin earning the 0.30% creator fee on all decentralized exchange trades. Simultaneously, the contract activates the 0.30% reward stream for holders. Finally, access the included AI website builder from your project dashboard to create a landing page—this step alone can save the typical $29 to $99 monthly cost of similar tools. This integrated approach bundles launch, ongoing revenue, and marketing tools into one configured wallet session.
Ready to Launch with Your Configured Wallet?
Your MetaMask is now a powerful tool for token creation on Solana. You've unlocked access to a platform designed for sustainable creator revenue, not just a one-time launch. The 0.30% ongoing fee model creates a long-term income stream, differentiating it from zero-fee platforms that offer no ongoing support.
Next Action: Go to your Spawned dashboard, ensure your wallet is connected to the 'Spawned Launchpad' network, and start your token launch process. The 0.1 SOL fee is your only upfront cost to access the launchpad, the revenue model, and the AI website builder.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can use your existing MetaMask wallet. You are simply adding a new custom network (Spawned Launchpad) to it. Your Ethereum assets and seed phrase remain unchanged. This configuration allows the same wallet to operate on both the Ethereum network and the Spawned Solana launchpad network.
The configuration is safe if you use the official RPC URL and Chain ID provided directly from your Spawned.com dashboard. Adding a network only allows that wallet to interact with that specific blockchain environment. It does not grant Spawned access to your private keys or funds. Always verify you are on the correct website to prevent phishing.
Switching back to Ethereum or any other network will simply disconnect you from the Spawned launchpad interface. Your Spawned configuration remains saved. To interact with Spawned again, you just need to switch the network dropdown in MetaMask back to 'Spawned Launchpad'. Your SOL balance and launched tokens are tied to your wallet address on that specific network.
Spawned uses a dedicated launchpad environment to manage its specific token launch contracts, fee distribution (0.30%/0.30%), and graduation logic to Token-2022. The standard Solana mainnet RPC does not point to these custom contracts. The custom network ensures you interact directly with Spawned's audited and verified infrastructure.
The official RPC URL and Chain ID are not published publicly for security reasons. You must create an account on Spawned.com and access your project dashboard. The network details are provided there to ensure only registered users can configure a connection, reducing spam and bot activity on the launchpad.
Yes, the process is similar. In the MetaMask mobile app, go to Settings, then Networks, and tap 'Add Network'. Manually enter the Network Name, RPC URL, Chain ID, Currency Symbol (SOL), and Block Explorer URL using the details from your Spawned dashboard. Save it, and you can then launch tokens from your mobile device.
Your token and its associated fees are secured on the blockchain, linked to your wallet address, not your local network settings. If you lose the configuration, you can simply re-add the 'Spawned Launchpad' network using the same details. Your token, creator fees, and holder rewards will all be intact and accessible.
Transaction fees on the Spawned network are minimal, similar to Solana mainnet fees (a fraction of a cent). The primary cost is the 0.1 SOL launch fee paid to Spawned. The 0.30% creator and holder fees are taken from trade volume, not paid as separate gas transactions by you.
