Verdict: Why Phantom is the Recommended Wallet for Spawned Tokens
Phantom provides the most straightforward path for your token holders.
For developers launching tokens on Spawned, Phantom Wallet is the primary recommendation for user-facing integration. Its dominance in the Solana ecosystem (over 3 million monthly active users) and native support for SPL tokens make it the most practical choice. The wallet automatically recognizes Spawned's fee structure—the 0.30% creator revenue and 0.30% holder rewards are processed without requiring special wallet configuration. Unlike some wallets that need manual token list submissions, Phantom will display any valid SPL token once the mint address is added, which aligns perfectly with Spawned's rapid launch model where tokens can go live in minutes. The only minor consideration is that Phantom's default interface shows popular tokens first, so new Spawned tokens may require users to manually add them via the token address—a simple process we'll detail below.
Phantom vs. Other Wallets for Spawned Token Integration
When choosing a wallet for your Spawned token project, understanding the integration differences helps set user expectations.
Phantom
- Automatic SPL Detection: Recognizes all SPL standards used by Spawned.
- User Base: Largest Solana wallet; most users already have it.
- Fee Display: Clearly shows network fees and Spawned's 0.30% creator/0.30% holder fees on transactions.
- Custom Token Add: Manual add required via mint address (simple process).
- Developer Tools: Built-in developer mode for testing.
Other Popular Wallets (Solflare, Backpack)
- SPL Support: Generally good, but may have delayed token list updates.
- User Onboarding: May require more guidance for new crypto users.
- Fee Transparency: Sometimes aggregate fees less clearly than Phantom.
- Best For: Users already embedded in those ecosystems.
For maximum accessibility, provide instructions for Phantom first, then consider supplementary guides for other wallets if your community requests them. Compare launchpads to see how Spawned's model fits different wallet strategies.
Step-by-Step: Connect a Spawned Token to Phantom Wallet
The entire integration takes less than 60 seconds.
Follow these five concrete steps to add your Spawned-launched token to Phantom. This process is the same for token creators testing their own token and for community members who receive tokens.
- Launch Your Token on Spawned: Complete your token launch on Spawned.com. The platform will provide you with a Solana Mint Address (a long public key starting with something like
7xKX...). This is your token's unique identifier on-chain. Save this address. - Open Phantom Wallet: Ensure you have the latest version of the Phantom extension or mobile app installed. Connect to the Solana mainnet (not devnet, unless you're testing with a fake token).
- Navigate to 'Add Token': In your Phantom asset view, click the
+button or find the 'Add Token' option in the settings/manage tokens menu. - Paste the Mint Address: In the 'Add Custom Token' field, paste the exact mint address from Step 1. Phantom will auto-fetch the token name, symbol, and decimals from the on-chain data Spawned deployed.
- Confirm and View: Click 'Add'. Your Spawned token will now appear in your Phantom asset list with its current balance. The value will update in real-time as trades occur on decentralized exchanges.
Pro Tip: As a creator, you can bundle these instructions with your token's announcement. Consider creating a simple video showing the process.
How Phantom Displays Spawned's Holder Rewards
The 0.30% holder reward is automatic and visible as a growing balance.
One of Spawned's unique features is the ongoing 0.30% holder reward distributed from every trade. Phantom Wallet handles this transparently.
When a holder views their Spawned token balance in Phantom, they see their static token amount (e.g., 1,000,000 GAME). The reward mechanism works on-chain: with each transaction involving the token, the reward protocol automatically calculates the 0.30% and distributes it proportionally to all existing token holders. This distribution happens as additional tokens sent directly to their wallet address.
What holders see: Their token balance will increase incrementally over time as trading volume occurs. There is no separate 'rewards' tab—the rewards are simply more of the same token deposited into their existing holding. Phantom will show these incoming transactions in the activity feed as receives from the program address.
Developer Note: The reward logic is embedded in the token's mint metadata via Spawned's deployment. No special smart contract needs to be connected to Phantom. This makes the user experience clean. For projects expecting high volume, you can inform your community that their balance is designed to grow passively, which they can monitor directly in Phantom. This is a key advantage over platforms with no holder incentive. Learn about airdrops for other distribution methods.
Post-Graduation: Phantom and Token-2022
When a Spawned token graduates from the launchpad (after reaching $75k market cap or 500 holders), it migrates to the Token-2022 standard with a 1% perpetual fee. Here's how this affects Phantom integration.
What Changes for Phantom Users:
- No Action Required: The token's mint address remains the same. Phantom users do NOT need to remove and re-add the token.
- Fee Transparency: Transactions will show the updated 1% fee (replacing the initial 0.30%+0.30% structure) in the transaction preview.
- Continued Support: Phantom fully supports the Token-2022 program. Balances and functionality remain intact.
What Developers Should Communicate:
- Reassure holders that their tokens are safe and no wallet migration is needed.
- Explain that the fee change supports the project's long-term development.
- The token will continue to appear in their Phantom wallet under the same name and symbol.
This seamless transition is a major benefit of building on Spawned versus managing a custom migration that could confuse holders. For more on the launch process, see how to launch a gaming token on Solana.
- Token address stays constant; no holder action needed.
- Phantom automatically adapts to the Token-2022 fee change.
- The 1% fee is visible in Phantom's transaction confirmation screen.
Troubleshooting Phantom Integration Issues
Quick fixes for the most common connection problems.
Issue 1: Token not appearing after adding.
- Solution: Verify the mint address is correct. Check the Spawned dashboard for the exact address. Ensure you are on Solana Mainnet in Phantom (not Devnet). Wait 30 seconds for the network call to resolve.
Issue 2: Balance shows zero, but I should have tokens.
- Solution: Confirm the tokens were sent to the correct wallet address (your Phantom public key). Check the transaction on a Solana explorer like Solscan using your address. The tokens may be in a different wallet.
Issue 3: Phantom shows an incorrect token symbol or name.
- Solution: This is rare but can happen if the on-chain metadata was set incorrectly during launch. Double-check the data on Spawned. If wrong, you may need to contact Spawned support—metadata is immutable once set.
Issue 4: Can't swap the token in Phantom's built-in swap.
- Solution: New tokens may not be immediately listed in aggregated swap services. Use the token's dedicated trading page on Spawned, or connect to a DEX like Raydium or Jupiter directly through Phantom. Liquidity must exist to enable swaps.
For deeper technical issues, Phantom has extensive developer documentation. Most Spawned token issues are resolved with the correct mint address and network.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Airdrops are sent to Solana wallet addresses. If a holder uses a different wallet (like Solflare or Backpack), they will receive the tokens there. However, to easily view, manage, and trade the tokens, we recommend Phantom due to its widespread use and smooth integration. They would then need to import their seed phrase into Phantom or use their wallet's own process for adding custom SPL tokens.
Yes. Use Solana Devnet. Launch a test token on Spawned's devnet environment (if available) or create a mock SPL token using Solana tools. Connect Phantom to 'Solana Devnet' in the network settings. You can then practice adding the test token and simulating transactions. This is highly recommended for developers new to the process to ensure your launch-day instructions are flawless.
Transparently. When a user initiates a swap or trade involving your Spawned token, Phantom's transaction preview screen will show the total deduction. This includes the Solana network fee and the Spawned protocol fees (0.30% creator + 0.30% holder rewards). The creator fee portion is sent automatically to the revenue address you set during launch on Spawned. The holder sees this as a single fee line item before confirming the transaction.
Phantom will attempt to fetch data from the Solana blockchain. If the address is invalid or points to a different type of account, it will show an error. If it points to a different, valid SPL token, it will add that token instead. Users can always remove incorrectly added tokens by clicking the three dots next to the asset in Phantom and selecting 'Hide'. There is no risk to their wallet, but they will not see their actual Spawned token until they add the correct address.
Not directly. The AI website builder is a separate tool included with your Spawned launch. You use it to create a marketing website for your token project. You can, however, embed a widget on that website that allows visitors to connect their Phantom wallet to learn more about the token or participate in community events. The wallet connection on your website is a front-end integration, separate from Phantom's core functionality of holding the token itself.
Yes, absolutely. The Token-2022 program is an upgrade to the SPL token standard that Phantom fully supports. Since the mint address does not change, the token will continue to display in Phantom without any interruption. The only difference users might notice is a slight update to the token's icon or metadata if you choose to update it, and the adjusted fee structure (1%) shown on transactions.
It depends on liquidity aggregation. Phantom's swap feature aggregates rates from multiple DEXs and aggregators like Jupiter. For your token to appear and be swappable here, it needs sufficient liquidity on integrated platforms. Immediately after launch, it's common to direct users to your token's specific trading page on Spawned or to a specific liquidity pool (e.g., on Raydium). As trading volume grows, it will likely become available in Phantom's built-in swap.
