Spawned and MetaMask Integration Guide for Developers
This guide details the process for developers to configure MetaMask for use with the Spawned token launchpad. It covers network addition, wallet connection, and managing cross-chain interactions for Solana-based tokens. Proper setup is required to access Spawned's 0.30% creator revenue share and holder rewards.

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 Integrate MetaMask with Spawned?
MetaMask integration is not optional; it's the gateway to Spawned's revenue features.
For developers launching tokens on Solana via Spawned, integrating MetaMask provides a familiar wallet interface while accessing Spawned's economic model. The setup is necessary to collect the 0.30% creator fee on every trade and distribute the 0.30% ongoing holder reward. Without proper integration, you cannot manage your token's treasury or access post-graduation features via Token-2022, which includes 1% perpetual fees.
Prerequisites Before You Start
Ensure you have the following ready before beginning the integration process. Missing any item will cause the setup to fail.
- An active MetaMask browser extension (version 11.0 or higher recommended).
- At least 0.1 SOL (~$20) in a Solana wallet (like Phantom) to pay the Spawned launch fee.
- A small amount of ETH in your MetaMask for potential gas fees on Ethereum if bridging assets.
- Your Spawned project dashboard login credentials.
- The custom RPC endpoint details for the Solana network (provided below).
Step-by-Step MetaMask Configuration
This is a technical configuration, not a simple wallet connection.
Follow these steps precisely to add the Solana network to MetaMask and connect it to Spawned. This process bridges the gap between Ethereum-based wallets and Solana's ecosystem.
Fee Structure: Spawned vs. Direct MetaMask Use
Understanding the cost implications is critical. Using MetaMask alone on Ethereum involves different fees than using it with Spawned on Solana.
| Aspect | Using MetaMask on Ethereum (Typical) | Using MetaMask with Spawned on Solana |
|---|---|---|
| Network Gas Fee | Variable, often $10-$50+ per tx | ~$0.001-$0.01 per tx (Solana) |
| Platform Launch Fee | N/A (if deploying own contract) | 0.1 SOL (flat ~$20) |
| Creator Revenue | 0% (you keep 100% of sales) | 0.30% fee on every trade |
| Ongoing Holder Rewards | Manual setup required | 0.30% automatically distributed |
| Website Hosting | $29-99/month externally | Included with AI builder (saves $29-99/month) |
The 0.30% creator fee on Spawned funds the 0.30% holder rewards and platform operations, a trade-off for the built-in audience and tools. Compare this to launching a gaming token on Ethereum directly.
What to Do After Successful Integration
Once MetaMask is connected and configured for Solana, your Spawned dashboard unlocks. Your primary actions will be funding your launch and configuring your token's economics. First, ensure your connected Solana wallet (like Phantom) has the 0.1 SOL launch fee. Then, within Spawned, define your token's supply, name, and symbol. The AI website builder will generate a landing page based on this data. Finally, review the fee breakdown: your 0.30% cut, the 0.30% holder rewards, and the post-graduation 1% perpetual fee structure. This is similar to the process for creating a gaming token on Solana, but with the MetaMask layer added.
Troubleshooting Common Integration Issues
Developers often encounter specific hurdles during this cross-chain setup. Here are solutions to the most frequent problems.
- Issue: MetaMask doesn't show SOL balance after adding network.
- Solution: The RPC URL
https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.comis correct, but MetaMask cannot natively display SOL balances from a separate wallet. MetaMask is acting as your connection authorizer to Spawned. Your SOL must remain in your primary Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom). Spawned will prompt you to sign transactions with that wallet when needed.
- Solution: The RPC URL
- Issue: 'Invalid Chain ID' error when connecting.
- Solution: Double-check the Chain ID is entered as
0x65(hex for 101). If you entered101(decimal), MetaMask may reject it. Remove the network from MetaMask settings and re-add it with the correct hex value.
- Solution: Double-check the Chain ID is entered as
- Issue: Spawned dashboard doesn't recognize connected wallet.
- Solution: Clear your browser cache and reload the Spawned page. Ensure you are on the correct Solana network in MetaMask and that you've authorized the connection from the MetaMask pop-up, not just selected the wallet.
- Issue: Transaction fails due to insufficient SOL for gas.
- Solution: Remember, the 0.1 SOL launch fee is separate from the tiny gas fees for transactions. Fund your Solana wallet with an extra 0.01-0.02 SOL for gas. This is a common oversight when launching on Solana.
Ready to Launch with MetaMask?
Configuration complete? The launchpad awaits.
The integration of MetaMask with Spawned is a straightforward technical step that connects Ethereum's dominant wallet ecosystem to Solana's high-speed, low-cost token launch platform. By completing this setup, you gain access to Spawned's full suite: a 0.30% revenue stream, automated holder rewards, and a professional AI-generated website at no extra monthly cost.
Your next step is to define your token's parameters and fund your launch. If you're considering other chains, review our guides for creating a token on Base or compare the Ethereum process. Ready to proceed? Connect your configured MetaMask wallet on Spawned.com and start your launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, not directly. Spawned launches tokens on the Solana blockchain. Your Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens exist on a different network. To use value with Spawned, you would need to bridge assets from Ethereum to Solana, which is a separate, complex process. It's recommended to fund your Spawned launch with SOL from a native Solana wallet like Phantom.
Spawned uses MetaMask as a secure connection and authentication method, familiar to a vast number of developers and users in the crypto space. While the actual token launches and transactions occur on Solana (using wallets like Phantom for signing), the MetaMask integration simplifies the initial login and project management interface for those accustomed to the Ethereum ecosystem.
After your token 'graduates' from the initial launch phase on Spawned, a 1% fee on transactions is permanently enabled via Solana's Token-2022 program. This fee is directed back to the creator's treasury. This is a key long-term benefit compared to platforms with no post-launch revenue stream. Your MetaMask connection, used for administration, remains the point of control for managing these treasury funds.
The 0.30% ongoing holder reward is distributed in the launched token itself. This is an automatic sell-to-distribute mechanism built into the token's contract on Solana. A portion of every trade is converted and sent to existing token holders, incentivizing long-term holding. This feature is unique to Spawned's model and is active from launch.
Yes, but with an important distinction. You can connect a hardware wallet (like Ledger) to your MetaMask extension for enhanced security of the MetaMask connection itself. However, the SOL used for the 0.1 SOL launch fee and gas must still be in a Solana-compatible wallet (e.g., Phantom that is also connected to your Ledger). The setup involves managing two separate wallet connections: one for auth (MetaMask+Hardware) and one for Solana assets.
Typically, after launching a token, creators pay $29 to $99 per month for website hosting, design, and maintenance services like Webflow or dedicated hosting. Spawned's integrated AI builder generates a professional token landing page at no additional monthly cost. This is a direct saving of $348 to $1,188 in the first year alone, factored into the platform's 0.30% creator fee.
No, Spawned is a launchpad for deploying new tokens. You cannot migrate an existing, independently created Solana token onto the Spawned platform to gain its fee and reward features. Those features are built into the token's contract at the moment of creation via Spawned's smart contract infrastructure.
