Spawned Metamask Configuration Guide
This guide walks through configuring Metamask to work with Spawned's Solana-based launchpad and AI website builder. You'll learn to add the Solana network, import custom SPL tokens, and connect your wallet to begin a token launch. Proper setup ensures smooth transactions for the 0.1 SOL launch fee and participation in the 0.30% holder reward system.

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 Configure Metamask for Spawned?
A familiar wallet for a Solana-native platform.
While Spawned is built on Solana, many creators and developers are familiar with Metamask from Ethereum and EVM chains. Configuring Metamask to interact with Solana through its Snaps feature or dedicated Solana wallets provides a familiar interface. This setup is necessary to pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee, manage tokens post-launch, and interact with Spawned's integrated AI website builder. Without proper configuration, you cannot access the platform's dual functionality or participate in the 0.30% ongoing holder rewards unique to Spawned.
What You Need Before Starting
Gather these items to ensure a smooth configuration process.
- Metamask Extension: Latest version installed in your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge).
- Solana-Compatible Wallet (Optional but Recommended): While we guide Metamask config, a native Solana wallet like Phantom is often simpler. You can connect both to Spawned.
- SOL for Fees: At least 0.2-0.3 SOL recommended. This covers the 0.1 SOL Spawned launch fee plus network transaction costs.
- Token Details (If Importing): The mint address of any SPL token you want to view in your wallet.
- Spawned Account: Ensure you have registered or can sign up on Spawned.com.

Metamask vs. Native Solana Wallets for Spawned
Choosing the right tool for your workflow.
| Feature | Metamask (with Solana Config) | Native Solana Wallet (e.g., Phantom) |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| Setup Complexity | Requires manual network add & potential Snap install. | Simple, native support out-of-the-box. |\n| Spawned Integration | Works via connection. | Works seamlessly; often the default option. |\n| Token Viewing | May require manual import of SPL token addresses. | Automatically detects and displays SPL tokens. |\n| Transaction Signing | Uses Metamask interface for Solana transactions. | Uses wallet's native Solana interface. |\n| Multi-Chain Use | Can manage Ethereum, Base, and Solana in one place. | Primarily for Solana only. |\n\nFor most users on Spawned, a native Solana wallet like Phantom offers a smoother experience. However, configuring Metamask is ideal for developers who primarily work in the EVM ecosystem and want a consolidated wallet view. Both wallets allow you to launch tokens, pay the 0.1 SOL fee, and earn the 0.30% holder rewards.
Troubleshooting Common Configuration Issues
Issue: 'Invalid Network' or 'Wrong Network' on Spawned.\nSolution: Confirm Metamask is switched to the 'Solana Mainnet' network you added. Refresh the Spawned page after switching.\n\nIssue: SPL Token Balance Not Showing.\nSolution: The token must be imported manually using its mint address. Find the correct address on Solana Explorer or from the token's official site. Ensure you are on the correct network (Mainnet/Devnet).\n\nIssue: Transaction Fails (Insufficient SOL for Fee).\nSolution: The 0.1 SOL launch fee is just the platform cost. You need extra SOL for network transaction fees (a few hundredths of a SOL). Always maintain a small SOL buffer.\n\nIssue: Cannot Connect Metamask to Spawned.\nSolution: Clear your browser cache and restart. Ensure no other wallet extensions (like Phantom) are interfering by trying in a private/incognito window with only Metamask enabled. Verify you are on the correct Spawned URL.
Final Recommendation & Verdict
Choose based on your primary chain focus.
For absolute simplicity and the best experience with Spawned's Solana launchpad, use a native Solana wallet like Phantom. It requires no complex configuration and integrates perfectly.\n\nConfigure Metamask if you are a developer or creator actively managing assets across both Ethereum/EVM and Solana. The setup process is straightforward but adds an extra layer. It allows you to handle a Base token launch and a Solana token launch from one wallet interface.\n\nRegardless of your choice, Spawned's economics remain the same: a 0.1 SOL launch fee, 0.30% creator revenue per trade, and 0.30% ongoing holder rewards, with the AI website builder included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, once properly configured with the Solana network, Metamask can connect to Spawned, pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee, sign transactions, and manage your SPL tokens. However, the integrated AI website builder is a web tool on Spawned's platform, not a wallet function, so it works with any connected wallet.
For manual network addition in Metamask, use these details: Network Name: `Solana Mainnet`, New RPC URL: `https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com`, Chain ID: `101`, Currency Symbol: `SOL`, Block Explorer URL: `https://explorer.solana.com`. Double-check the RPC URL, as an incorrect one is the most common setup error.
Configuring Metamask is primarily beneficial if you actively develop or hold assets on both Ethereum/EVM chains (like Base or Ethereum for [gaming tokens](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-ethereum)) and Solana. It consolidates your activity into one wallet interface. For users focused solely on Solana, Phantom is simpler and recommended.
Absolutely. The 0.30% ongoing holder reward is a feature of the token's contract launched on Spawned, specifically enabled through the Token-2022 program. It is distributed to token holders regardless of whether you use Metamask, Phantom, or any other compatible Solana wallet to store your tokens.
You likely need to import the token manually. After your token is launched on Spawned, copy its mint address from the project page or Solana Explorer. In your Metamask asset tab, click 'Import Tokens' and paste the address. The token symbol and decimals should auto-fill, and your balance will appear.
The configuration itself is low risk if you use the official RPC endpoints provided. The main risk is user error, such as sending SOL to an Ethereum address in Metamask. Always send SOL only to your Solana address within Metamask. Test with a small amount first. Spawned's platform fee is always exactly 0.1 SOL.
Yes. You can disconnect one wallet and connect another to the same Spawned project dashboard. Your project data is tied to your Spawned account, not a specific wallet address. This allows you to manage a launch from different wallets if needed.
