Why Phantom Integration is Required for Spawned Tokens
Phantom is the gateway for your token's community.
For any token launched on Spawned, Phantom Wallet integration is not optional—it's a core requirement for success. Phantom dominates the Solana ecosystem with a 70%+ market share among active wallets. Without integration, your token is invisible to the primary user base. Integration automatically pulls your token's name, symbol, logo, and decimals from on-chain data, making it appear in a holder's asset list. This direct visibility is critical for fostering a community, as holders can see their balance and the 0.30% ongoing rewards distribution without leaving their wallet. Compare other launchpad requirements.
Prerequisites Before You Begin Integration
Ensure you have the following ready before starting the Phantom integration process. Missing any item will halt progress.
- Your Token's Mint Address: The public key for your SPL token, created during your Spawned launch.
- Token Metadata: A URI pointing to your token's off-chain JSON metadata (name, symbol, logo, description). Spawned's AI builder can generate this.
- Updated Metadata Account: Your metadata must be uploaded to the Metaplex Token Metadata program. Spawned handles this by default.
- A Live Website: A URL where users can connect. Use your Spawned-built site to avoid the $29-99/month cost of other website builders.
- Phantom Wallet Installed: You and your testers need the browser extension or mobile app.
Step-by-Step: Connect Your Token to Phantom
Follow these technical steps to make your Spawned token appear and function in Phantom Wallet.
How Integration Directly Benefits Your Token Holders
The technical integration translates to tangible benefits for the people holding your token. First, it simplifies the user journey. Instead of manually importing a token address—a step where many users fail—the process becomes a one-click "Add" from your website. Second, it provides transparency. Holders can see their share of the 0.30% ongoing rewards accrued directly in their wallet's asset view, reinforcing the value of holding. Third, it enables participation. A connected wallet can immediately interact with your token's website for activities like voting or accessing gated content, which you can build with Spawned's tools. This seamless loop between wallet and site increases holder engagement and loyalty.
Post-Integration Checks and Maintenance
Integration is not a one-time task. Maintain a positive holder experience with these ongoing actions.
- Monitor for Spoof Tokens: Watch for scam tokens with similar names. Your verified metadata is the best defense.
- Update Metadata if Needed: If you upgrade your logo, update the Metaplex metadata URI. Phantom will reflect the change.
- Utilize Token-2022 Features: After graduating from Spawned, explore transferring your token to the Token-2022 program to access the 1% perpetual fee structure and more advanced features compatible with Phantom.
- Support Holder Queries: Be prepared to guide users through basic Phantom connection issues; most are resolved by updating the app or clearing cache.
Ready to Integrate Your Spawned Token?
Your token's launch on Spawned is just the beginning. Full Phantom integration is the critical next step to ensure your community can hold, track, and benefit from your project with ease. Use the AI website builder included with your launch to create the perfect connection hub at no extra monthly cost.
Next Action: If you haven't launched yet, start by creating your gaming token on Solana. If your token is live, review your mint address and metadata, then implement the connection steps above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Spawned automatically creates the necessary on-chain token metadata that Phantom reads. However, you must build the front-end connection on your website—typically a "Connect Wallet" button. Spawned's AI website builder provides templates to make this quick and easy, saving you the cost of other builders.
This is usually a metadata issue. First, verify your token's URI on a Solana explorer points to a publicly accessible JSON file with a valid image link. The image should be in PNG format, square (e.g., 200x200 pixels), and hosted on a reliable CDN. Phantom caches logos, so changes may take up to 24 hours to appear for all users.
Phantom itself is a wallet interface, not a staking platform. However, once integrated, your website can use the connected wallet to interface with your staking smart contract. Holders can approve transactions directly through Phantom pop-ups. This makes the staking process much smoother than manual contract interaction.
Integrating with Phantom has no direct fee from Phantom. The costs are development time and hosting for your connection site. By using Spawned's included AI website builder, you avoid the typical $29 to $99 monthly subscription fee of other site builders, making the integration effectively free beyond the initial 0.1 SOL launch fee.
Integration makes these rewards more visible and tangible. While the rewards are distributed on-chain by the token's tax mechanism, a well-integrated website can display a holder's estimated or accrued rewards. This transparency, accessible via their connected Phantom wallet, strengthens the incentive to hold long-term.
While Phantom is the priority due to its market share, consider Solflare and Backpack as secondary integrations for broader reach. The `@solana/wallet-adapter` library makes supporting multiple wallets straightforward. Focus on Phantom first, then expand based on your community's requests.
When you graduate your token from Spawned to the Solana Token-2022 program, the integration remains. Phantom supports Token-2022. Your token will continue to appear in user wallets, and the new 1% perpetual fee structure managed by Spawned will function seamlessly through the same connection.
