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.
Should You Use Metamask with Spawned? The Verdict
The short answer is yes, if you're coming from Ethereum.
Integrating Metamask with Spawned is recommended for developers and creators who hold assets primarily on Ethereum but want to launch on Solana for its speed and lower costs. The process requires an extra bridging step but unlocks Spawned's specific advantages: a 0.30% ongoing revenue share for creators (unlike pump.fun's 0%), perpetual 1% fees post-graduation via Token-2022, and an included AI website builder. If your capital is already on Solana, using a native wallet like Phantom is simpler. However, for those with established Ethereum holdings, this integration provides a clear path to the Solana ecosystem.
Prerequisites: What You Need Before Starting
Ensure you have the following ready before beginning the integration process. Missing any item will halt your progress.
- An active Metamask wallet with ETH or ERC-20 tokens for gas fees and bridging.
- A Solana wallet address. You can create this via Phantom (recommended) or another Solana wallet.
- A cross-chain bridge bookmarked. We recommend official bridges like Wormhole or Portal for security.
- A small amount of SOL on the Solana network. You'll need at least 0.1 SOL for the Spawned launch fee, plus extra for Solana transaction fees.
- The Spawned platform open in your browser. Navigate to the main site to begin.
Step-by-Step: How to Connect Metamask and Launch on Spawned
This process bridges the gap between the Ethereum and Solana networks.
Follow these five concrete steps to go from your Ethereum assets to a launched token on Spawned.
Direct Comparison: Native SOL vs. Bridged from Metamask
Each method has distinct pros and cons.
Understanding the trade-offs between using native Solana assets versus bridging from Metamask helps in decision-making.
| Aspect | Using Native SOL (e.g., from an exchange) | Bridging from Metamask |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Speed | Faster. Direct deposit to Phantom. | Slower. Requires bridge wait time (5-20 min). |
| Cost | Lower. Only standard SOL network fees. | Higher. Ethereum gas fee + bridge fee + SOL fees. |
| Convenience | High for Solana-focused users. | Necessary for Ethereum-centric users. |
| Wallet Management | One wallet (Phantom). | Two linked wallets (Metamask & Phantom). |
| Access to Spawned Fees | Same. 0.1 SOL launch, 0.30% creator revenue. | Same. 0.1 SOL launch, 0.30% creator revenue. |
The key takeaway: Bridging is a necessary step if your liquidity is on Ethereum. The added cost and time grant access to Solana's ecosystem and Spawned's model.
Why Spawned's Model Justifies the Integration Effort
The steps to bridge and connect from Metamask are an investment toward accessing Spawned's specific economic and tooling advantages. First is the revenue model: you earn 0.30% on every trade of your token, creating an ongoing income stream. Competitors like pump.fun offer 0% to creators. Furthermore, 0.30% is distributed as rewards to your token holders, encouraging community holding.
Second is the post-graduation structure. When your token migrates from the launchpad, Spawned uses Solana's Token-2022 program to apply a perpetual 1% fee on transactions, ensuring continued protocol revenue. Third is the integrated AI website builder, a tool that typically costs $29 to $99 monthly if purchased separately. This combo of monetization and marketing tools makes the integration process worthwhile for serious creators. For related launch strategies, see our guide on how to launch a gaming token on Solana.
Troubleshooting Common Integration Problems
Hit a snag? Check these fixes first.
If you encounter issues, this list covers the most frequent problems and their solutions.
-
Problem: Phantom doesn't show my bridged SOL. Solution: Ensure the bridge transaction is confirmed on both chains. Check your Solana address on a block explorer like Solscan. The asset must appear as wrapped SOL (wSOL) or native SOL.
-
Problem: Spawned doesn't recognize my connected wallet. Solution: Disconnect and reconnect Phantom. Clear your browser cache. Ensure you are on the correct Solana network (Mainnet) in Phantom's settings.
-
Problem: The 0.1 SOL launch fee fails. Solution: Verify you have more than 0.1 SOL in your wallet to account for transaction fees (aim for 0.12 SOL). Check if your wallet has a transaction signing limit enabled.
-
Problem: Can't import Metamask seed into Phantom. Solution: Double-check you are using the standard 12 or 24-word seed phrase from Metamask. Some hardware wallet integrations may require a different method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, from a technical standpoint. Phantom is a reputable, non-custodial Solana wallet. Importing your seed phrase creates a wallet on Solana derived from the same private key. However, it expands the surface area for that key. For maximum security, consider creating a new, separate Phantom wallet and bridging assets to its fresh address instead of importing.
Costs include: 1) An Ethereum network gas fee for the bridge approval and send transaction (varies, often $10-$50). 2) A potential bridge protocol fee (often 0.1% or a flat rate). 3) The Spawned launch fee of 0.1 SOL (~$20). 4) Small Solana transaction fees for token creation and site deployment (negligible). Budget approximately $40-$80 total beyond the asset value you're bridging.
Yes. The process is identical for any Ethereum wallet that provides a seed phrase or private key you can import into a Solana wallet like Phantom. This includes WalletConnect-compatible wallets, Coinbase Wallet, or others. The core requirement is the ability to connect to an Ethereum-to-Solana bridge and export your key for Solana access.
Spawned's 0.30% per trade creator revenue is a direct income stream. Key competitor pump.fun takes 0% for creators, directing all fees to liquidity. Other platforms may have different, often higher, fee structures that don't share revenue with the token creator. This model makes Spawned financially attractive for projects planning for volume.
Upon graduation, your token migrates to full on-chain independence. Spawned uses Solana's Token-2022 program to apply a perpetual 1% transaction fee. This fee sustains the protocol and its rewards system. Your token remains tradable on DEXs, and you retain the website built with the AI tool.
No. Spawned is a no-code launchpad. The integration steps—bridging, wallet connection, token configuration—are done through web interfaces. The AI website builder also requires no coding. However, understanding basic blockchain concepts like gas fees, bridging, and wallet security is necessary.
No. Spawned is exclusively a Solana token launchpad. This guide explains how to bring assets *from* other chains (like Ethereum) *to* Solana to use the platform. If you want to launch natively on other chains, you would need a different service.
