Spawned Metamask Integration Guide: Connect Ethereum to Solana Launchpad
This guide details how to integrate Metamask with the Spawned launchpad to manage multi-chain token operations. Connect your Ethereum wallet, bridge assets to Solana, and launch tokens across both networks using a single platform. The integration supports creators targeting audiences on both Ethereum and Solana ecosystems.

The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Integrate Metamask with a Solana Launchpad?
Bridge your community, not just your tokens.
Integrating Metamask with Spawned is recommended for creators who have an established community on Ethereum but want to access Solana's lower fees and faster transactions for token launches. While Spawned is native to Solana, this integration allows you to bring your Ethereum audience with you. You can use Ethereum assets to fund your Solana launch after bridging, and your project's AI-built website can serve both communities. This approach combines Ethereum's large user base with Solana's 0.1 SOL (~$20) launch fee and ongoing 0.30% holder rewards.
Metamask Integration vs. Solana-Only Approach
When launching on Spawned, you have two primary wallet strategies: integrating Metamask for cross-chain operations or using Solana-native wallets only. For creators with significant Ethereum followings, Metamask integration provides continuity. Your existing holders can participate without switching wallets immediately. However, all token launches on Spawned occur on Solana, taking advantage of the 0.30% creator fee per trade and the perpetual 1% fee structure post-graduation. The AI website builder included with your launch can display connection options for both wallet types, creating a unified hub. Compare this to launching exclusively on Ethereum, where gas fees can exceed $50 for simple interactions versus Solana's sub-$0.01 transactions.
Step-by-Step Metamask Integration Process
Follow these concrete steps to connect Metamask to your Spawned launchpad experience. This process enables you to use Ethereum assets for your Solana-based token creation.
A Practical Example: Launching a Gaming Token
From Ethereum community to Solana launch in four steps.
Consider a gaming project with 10,000 Discord members, most using Metamask for Ethereum-based NFTs. The team wants to launch a utility token with lower transaction costs for in-game purchases. They use Spawned's Metamask integration. First, they bridge 1 ETH (worth ~$3,000) to Solana, paying a $18 gas fee. This yields wrapped ETH (wETH) on Solana, which they swap for SOL. They then launch their gaming token on Spawned for 0.1 SOL ($20). Their AI-built website automatically includes connection guides for both Metamask and Solana wallets. They announce the token to their Ethereum community, providing instructions for bridging to Solana to trade. The token benefits from Solana's speed for micro-transactions while the team plans future Ethereum expansion using the Token-2022 standard for the perpetual 1% fee structure post-graduation from Spawned.
Key Benefits and Concrete Numbers
Integrating Metamask with Spawned provides measurable advantages for multi-chain token strategy.
- Cost Efficiency: Launch fee is 0.1 SOL (~$20). Compare to Ethereum L1 deployment costs which can range from $500 to $2,000 in gas alone.
- Revenue Share: Earn 0.30% on every trade as a creator. With $1M in volume, that's $3,000. Holders also earn 0.30% ongoing, a unique Spawned feature.
- Website Savings: The included AI website builder saves $29-$99/month compared to standalone services. It can generate pages with embedded wallet connection widgets.
- Audience Reach: Serve both Ethereum (Metamask) and Solana (Phantom) users from one project hub, potentially doubling your accessible community.
- Post-Graduation Path: After launching on Spawned, you can graduate to using Solana's Token-2022 program, where Spawned takes a 1% perpetual fee on transactions—a sustainable model for ongoing development.
Troubleshooting Common Integration Issues
When connecting Metamask to Spawned, you might encounter these specific issues. Here are direct solutions.
Ready to Launch with Your Ethereum Community?
Integrating Metamask with Spawned allows you to leverage your existing Ethereum audience while benefiting from Solana's performance and Spawned's creator-focused economics. Start by connecting your wallet and exploring the launch interface. Learn about creating gaming tokens on Solana for a deeper dive into tokenomics, or compare launching on Ethereum directly to understand the full cross-chain opportunity. The 0.1 SOL launch fee is a minimal cost to access a dual-chain strategy and the ongoing 0.30% revenue share.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Spawned is a Solana token launchpad. You launch SPL tokens (Solana's standard). This guide shows how to integrate Metamask so your Ethereum community can bridge assets to Solana to participate in your SPL token launch. The benefit is Solana's lower fees—your launch costs 0.1 SOL (~$20) versus hundreds on Ethereum—and access to Spawned's 0.30% holder reward model.
Costs include Ethereum gas fees, which vary ($5-$50 typically), and a small bridge protocol fee (often 0.1% of the bridged amount). For example, bridging $1,000 worth of ETH might cost $15 in gas plus a $1 bridge fee. You also need SOL on the destination side for transaction fees (negligible, <$0.01) and the Spawned launch fee of 0.1 SOL (~$20).
Yes. When you generate a website with Spawned's AI builder, you can enable multi-chain support. This adds a smart wallet connection button that detects both Ethereum-based wallets (like Metamask via WalletConnect) and Solana wallets (like Phantom). This creates a single hub for your entire community, regardless of their preferred chain.
The 0.30% holder reward is a feature of the SPL token launched on Solana via Spawned. It distributes 0.30% of every trade to existing token holders proportionally. If your Ethereum holders bridge to Solana to buy your token, they qualify for these rewards. The rewards are paid in the token itself, directly to their Solana wallet. This incentivizes your Ethereum community to engage on Solana.
Post-graduation, your token migrates to using Solana's Token-2022 program. At this point, Spawned applies a 1% perpetual fee on transactions. This is different from the initial launch phase 0.30% creator fee. Your token remains fully functional. If you maintained a multi-chain presence, your Ethereum community can continue bridging to trade on Solana, and you continue earning from the 1% fee structure.
Yes. The process is identical to bridging ETH. Connect Metamask, bridge your USDC from Ethereum to Solana (becoming USDC.e or USDC from Circle's CCTP). Once the bridged USDC is in your Solana wallet, you can swap it for SOL on a DEX like Jupiter. You then use SOL to pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee on Spawned. This is a common method to avoid ETH gas volatility.
Bridging involves smart contract risk on the bridge protocol and the time delay (2-5 minutes) where assets are in transit. Use well-established, audited bridges integrated with Spawned or recommended by the platform. Always verify you are on the correct official website. The value of bridged assets can also fluctuate during the bridge time, though this is usually minor.
Use the AI website builder to create a clear 'How to Participate' page. This page should have step-by-step instructions: 1) Connect Metamask, 2) Use the bridge widget, 3) Connect a Solana wallet, 4) Buy tokens. Spawned's model of sharing 0.30% of trades with holders is a strong incentive to share. Be transparent about the two-step process (bridge then trade) to manage expectations.
