Spawned Metamask Integration Guide: Token Creation Steps
This guide explains how to use Spawned's Solana token launchpad with Metamask for cross-chain token projects. While Spawned is native to Solana, you can manage assets and prepare for multi-chain expansion using Metamask for Ethereum-based networks. We cover network configuration, bridging, and using Spawned's AI website builder alongside your token strategy.

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.
The Practical Approach: Spawned + Metamask for Tokens
Should you connect Metamask to Spawned? Here's the straightforward answer.
For developers creating tokens, using Spawned with Metamask involves a two-network strategy. Spawned is your primary launchpad on Solana, where you benefit from 0.30% ongoing creator revenue per trade and built-in holder rewards. Metamask manages your Ethereum-based assets (like ETH or ERC-20 tokens) that can be bridged to Solana to fund your launch. This setup is ideal if your community or initial capital is on Ethereum, but you want Solana's low fees and Spawned's integrated tools for launch.
Compared to launching solely on Ethereum via traditional methods, this approach can reduce initial minting costs by over 90%. Spawned's launch fee is 0.1 SOL (~$20), while an Ethereum token deployment can cost $50-$200 in gas alone, not including website costs.
Step 1: Add Solana Network to Metamask
Metamask doesn't support Solana natively. To view Solana assets, you must add it as a custom network. This doesn't enable Solana transactions in Metamask, but lets you see balances if you use certain bridges that represent SOL as an ERC-20 token.
- Open Metamask and click the network dropdown.
- Select "Add network" and then "Add a network manually."
- Enter the following Solana Mainnet details (for viewing purposes):
- Network Name:
Solana Mainnet - New RPC URL:
https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com(public endpoint) - Chain ID:
101 - Currency Symbol:
SOL - Block Explorer URL:
https://explorer.solana.com
- Network Name:
- Click Save.
Important Note: You still need a Solana wallet (like Phantom) to interact with Spawned. This step is for asset tracking only. For a true Solana experience, learn how to create a gaming token on Solana.
Step 2: Bridge Assets from Ethereum to Solana
Your Ethereum assets need to move to Solana to use Spawned.
To fund your Spawned token launch (0.1 SOL fee + initial liquidity), you may need to bridge assets from Ethereum. Here are the common methods:
- Wormhole Bridge: Move ETH, USDC, or other assets. Converts them to Solana SPL tokens. Bridge fee is typically 0.03%-0.1% of the transfer value.
- Portal (by Wormhole): User-friendly interface. Supports many assets.
- Allbridge: Alternative for specific tokens.
Process:
- Connect your Metamask (Ethereum network) to the bridge.
- Connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom) to the bridge.
- Select asset/amount on Ethereum, confirm the bridge transaction in Metamask (pay Ethereum gas).
- Wait for confirmations; assets arrive in your Solana wallet.
Example: Bridging $100 USDC from Ethereum might cost ~$5-10 in Ethereum gas and a ~$0.10 bridge fee. The USDC arrives as SPL USDC on Solana, ready to swap for SOL.
Step 3: Launch Token on Spawned Using Solana Wallet
With SOL in your Solana wallet (from bridging), you can now use Spawned.
- Connect Phantom (or other Solana wallet) to Spawned.com.
- Create Token: Fill in name, symbol, description, and upload art.
- Set Parameters: Initial supply, taxes (if any). Remember Spawned's fee structure: 0.30% creator fee per trade and 0.30% holder rewards are built-in.
- Pay Launch Fee: 0.1 SOL from your Solana wallet.
- Deploy & Create Website: Use the included AI website builder—describe your project, and it generates a site. This saves the $29-99/month you'd pay for a similar standalone service.
- Manage & Monitor: Your dashboard shows volume, holder count, and revenue.

Why Launch on Solana via Spawned vs. Native Ethereum?
The numbers show a clear advantage for cost and features.
| Aspect | Spawned (Solana) | Traditional Ethereum Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Launch Cost | 0.1 SOL (~$20) | $50-$200+ in gas for deployment |
| Per-Trade Fee | 0.30% creator fee | Often 0% (pump.fun) or custom setup required |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% built-in | Must code custom tax or reward system |
| Website Cost | $0 (AI builder included) | $29-99/month for similar builder |
| Transaction Speed | ~400ms block time | ~12 second block time |
| Post-Launch Fees | 1% fee after graduation to Token-2022 | Varies by DEX listing; often higher |
The Integration Benefit: Using Metamask-bridged funds to launch on Spawned lets you tap into Ethereum capital while benefiting from Solana's efficiency and Spawned's integrated monetization. If your project stays on Ethereum, consider how to create a gaming token on Ethereum for a native guide.
Strategy: Managing a Cross-Chain Token Community
A common use case for this integration is planning a multi-chain future. You might launch initially on Solana via Spawned for speed and low cost, while keeping a Metamask-based community on Ethereum informed.
Practical Workflow:
- Launch on Spawned: Use bridged funds for a quick, feature-rich Solana token with a website.
- Use Spawned's Revenue: The 0.30% ongoing creator fee generates SOL-denominated income from day one.
- Fund Future Expansion: Use that revenue to fund a future Ethereum token deployment or a bridge liquidity pool.
- Communicate: Use your Spawned-built website to explain the multi-chain roadmap to both Solana and Ethereum communities.
This approach de-risks the initial launch while building a treasury for expansion. The 1% perpetual fee after graduating from Spawned's launchpad provides sustained funding for cross-chain development.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Spawned is a Solana-based application. You must use a Solana wallet like Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack to connect, sign transactions, and pay fees. Metamask is used in this guide primarily for managing Ethereum-based assets that you later bridge to Solana to fund your launch.
Total costs include: 1) Ethereum gas fees to approve and send assets to a bridge (variable, ~$5-$20), 2) Bridge protocol fees (typically 0.03%-0.1%), 3) Spawned's launch fee of 0.1 SOL (~$20), and 4) Solana network fees for the token creation and initial swaps (negligible, <$0.01). All-in, expect ~$30-$50 plus the amount you're bridging for liquidity.
No. The 0.30% automatic holder rewards are a feature of the token on the Solana blockchain. If you later create a bridged or wrapped version of your token on Ethereum, that version would not automatically receive these Solana-based rewards. Rewards are distributed to holders of the native SPL token on Solana.
Yes, absolutely. The AI website builder is a standalone tool included with Spawned. You can use it to create a website for any project, even if your token is primarily on Ethereum. Simply describe your Ethereum token project, and the builder will generate a suitable site. This saves the typical $29-99/month fee for a similar website creation service.
When your token reaches the graduation threshold (e.g., market cap or liquidity goals), it moves from Spawned's launch pool to a full Token-2022 standard token on Solana. At this point, a 1% fee on trades is activated, which funds Spawned's ecosystem. Your 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder rewards continue. This structure is specific to Solana; a parallel Ethereum token would have its own fee schedule.
It involves one extra step: bridging assets. However, the trade-off is significant cost savings and access to better built-in features. Launching solely on Ethereum might be simpler in terms of steps but is often more expensive and requires you to source your own website and reward systems. For developers comfortable with basic DeFi tools, the Spawned+Metamask approach provides more value.
Yes, they are completely separate token contracts. The 0.30% creator fee on Spawned is baked into your Solana token's mechanics. An Ethereum token version, if you create one later, would have its own fee structure defined during its deployment. You could set it to 0.30% to match, or choose a different rate based on Ethereum network norms.
