Why Phantom is the Recommended Wallet for Spawned
Choosing the right wallet affects your launch success and fee collection.
Phantom provides the most reliable integration with Spawned's token launch system, especially for handling the Token-2022 standard required for post-graduation 1% perpetual fees. While other wallets like Solflare and Backpack work, Phantom offers superior transaction simulation that prevents failed launches due to insufficient SOL for the 0.1 SOL fee. Its browser extension has a 99.8% connection success rate with Spawned's interface, compared to 92% for alternatives. For creators who plan to use the included AI website builder, Phantom's signing workflow integrates directly with the deployment process, saving approximately 3-5 minutes per site launch versus manual methods.
Step-by-Step: Connect Phantom to Spawned
Follow these exact steps to establish a secure connection between your Phantom wallet and Spawned's launch platform. This process takes approximately 45 seconds when done correctly.
- Install Phantom Extension: Visit the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons page. Install the Phantom wallet extension—ensure you download version 24.2.0 or newer for full Token-2022 support.
- Create or Import Wallet: Set up a new Phantom wallet or import an existing one using your seed phrase. For security, use a fresh wallet for token launches separate from your main holdings.
- Navigate to Spawned: Go to the Spawned platform and click the 'Connect Wallet' button in the top right corner.
- Select Phantom: From the wallet options, choose 'Phantom' from the list. A pop-up will appear from your Phantom extension.
- Approve Connection: Review the permissions request in the Phantom pop-up. Spawned requests basic transaction signing abilities—no withdrawal permissions are needed.
- Verify Dashboard: Once connected, check your Spawned dashboard. You should see your wallet address displayed and a 'Connected' status indicator.
- Test with Small Transaction: Send 0.01 SOL to your Spawned account to verify the connection works properly before proceeding with larger amounts.
Configuring Wallet Permissions for Optimal Launch Experience
Proper permission settings in Phantom ensure smooth token launches and automatic fee collection. Unlike basic transactions, Spawned requires specific permissions to handle the 0.30% creator revenue mechanism and future 1% perpetual fees after graduation.
When you first connect, Phantom will ask to 'Allow this site to view your wallet address'—this is necessary for Spawned to display your balance and calculate launch costs. The more important permission is 'Allow this site to suggest transactions for approval.' This enables Spawned to automatically create the token creation transaction with the correct parameters, including the 0.1 SOL launch fee and the built-in 0.30% creator revenue on every trade.
For developers creating gaming tokens, we recommend enabling 'Auto-approve transactions from trusted sites' for Spawned only. This speeds up the launch process when creating multiple token variants for testing. However, keep this disabled if you're managing significant SOL amounts in the same wallet.
A common mistake is connecting with wallet permissions that are too restrictive, which can interrupt the AI website builder deployment. The builder needs to create on-chain metadata for your token's site, which requires transaction signing permissions beyond basic viewing.
Funding Requirements & Minimum SOL Balances
Understanding the exact SOL requirements prevents failed launches and unexpected interruptions during your token creation process.
Launch Fee: 0.1 SOL (~$20 at current prices) - This is the base cost to create any token on Spawned, payable upon launch confirmation.
Recommended Minimum Balance: 0.5 SOL - This covers the launch fee plus network transaction costs for initial setup, AI website deployment, and test transactions.
AI Website Builder Costs: Included free - Unlike standalone builders that charge $29-99/month, Spawned's builder has no additional SOL costs for deployment.
Holder Reward Reserve: Variable - If you plan to activate the 0.30% ongoing holder rewards immediately, allocate additional SOL for the initial reward pool. A common starting amount is 1-2 SOL for meaningful distributions.
Post-Graduation Preparation: 0.05 SOL - After your token graduates from Spawned, migrating to the 1% perpetual fee structure requires a small transaction fee.
Funding Method: Direct SOL transfer from another wallet or purchase through Phantom's built-in providers. We recommend transferring from a separate wallet rather than buying directly if you're working with larger amounts for better rate control.
- 0.1 SOL launch fee is fixed regardless of token type or supply
- Keep at least 0.5 SOL total to handle all launch steps smoothly
- Holder reward pools require separate funding beyond launch costs
- AI website deployment adds no additional SOL requirements
Troubleshooting Common Phantom Connection Issues
Quick fixes for the most common wallet integration problems.
Even with proper setup, you might encounter connection problems. Here are the most frequent issues and their solutions.
Problem: 'Phantom wallet not detected' error on Spawned. Solution: Refresh the page (hard refresh with Ctrl+F5), ensure the Phantom extension is enabled in your browser, and check that you're not using a private/incognito window that blocks extensions.
Problem: Transactions failing with 'Insufficient SOL for fees' despite having enough balance. Solution: This often occurs when your SOL is spread across multiple token accounts. In Phantom, click on your SOL balance and select 'Close Empty Accounts' to consolidate. Also ensure you have at least 0.01 SOL above the transaction amount for network fees.
Problem: Connection drops repeatedly during AI website builder usage. Solution: Increase Phantom's idle timeout setting. Go to Phantom Settings > Security & Privacy > Increase 'Auto-lock timer' to 15 minutes or more when actively using Spawned's builder.
Problem: Can't see Token-2022 tokens after creation. Solution: Enable Token-2022 support in Phantom Settings > Experimental Features > Toggle 'Token-2022' to ON. Refresh your wallet after enabling.
Problem: 'Transaction simulation failed' when trying to launch. Solution: This usually indicates insufficient SOL for the 0.1 SOL launch fee plus network costs. Add 0.05-0.1 SOL more than the minimum requirement. Also try disconnecting and reconnecting the wallet to refresh the session.
Managing Multiple Wallets for Team & Investor Access
Serious token creators often manage multiple Phantom wallets: one for development, one for launch, and separate wallets for team allocations. Spawned supports this workflow through wallet switching without requiring reconnection.
To add additional wallets, click your profile in Phantom and select 'Add/Connect Wallet'. Create or import the secondary wallet. Then in Spawned, click your connected wallet address and select 'Switch Wallet'. Choose the new wallet from the list—no need to disconnect and reconnect.
For team-based projects, consider these wallet assignments:
- Development Wallet: Holds minimal SOL for testing launches and AI website builds
- Launch Wallet: Contains the main SOL for the official token creation (0.1 SOL fee) and initial liquidity
- Rewards Wallet: Funds the 0.30% holder reward pool separately
- Team Wallets: Individual team member wallets for allocated tokens
This separation provides security and accounting clarity. When using the AI website builder, note that deployment transactions will come from whichever wallet is currently active in Spawned. Always double-check you're using the correct wallet before finalizing launches, as the 0.30% creator revenue attaches to the launching wallet permanently.
Security Best Practices for Phantom on Spawned
Protecting your assets while using Spawned requires specific security measures beyond basic wallet safety.
Use a Dedicated Launch Wallet: Create a separate Phantom wallet exclusively for Spawned token launches. Only fund it with the SOL needed for your immediate launch (0.1 SOL fee plus buffer). This limits exposure if any issues occur.
Revoke Unnecessary Permissions: Periodically check Phantom's connected sites list (Settings > Trusted Apps) and remove any you no longer use. While Spawned requires ongoing access for fee collection, test wallets should be disconnected after use.
Enable Transaction Simulation: Keep Phantom's transaction simulation feature enabled (it's on by default). This shows you exactly what each Spawned transaction will do before you sign, preventing unexpected token approvals or transfers.
Verify Website Authenticity: Always ensure you're on the official Spawned domain before connecting your wallet. Bookmark the site rather than searching for it each time to avoid phishing sites.
Monitor for Automatic Updates: Phantom regularly updates for security and new features like Token-2022 support. Enable automatic updates in your browser extension settings to ensure you always have the latest security patches.
Use Hardware Wallet Integration: For significant SOL amounts, connect your Phantom wallet to a Ledger or Trezor. While this adds steps to each transaction, it provides hardware-level security for your launch funds.
- Create a separate Phantom wallet just for Spawned launches
- Regularly review and revoke wallet permissions for unused sites
- Always verify you're on the real Spawned website before connecting
- Consider hardware wallet integration for larger SOL amounts

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Spawned supports multiple Solana wallets including Solflare, Backpack, and Coinbase Wallet. However, Phantom is recommended due to its superior Token-2022 standard compatibility, which is required for Spawned's 1% perpetual fees after graduation. Other wallets may have limited support for the revenue collection features. Phantom also has the most reliable integration with the AI website builder component.
If Phantom disconnects mid-creation, your progress is auto-saved for 24 hours. Simply reconnect your wallet and return to the creation page—your token parameters will be restored. The 0.1 SOL fee is only charged upon final confirmation, so incomplete launches don't cost anything. For AI website builds, the draft is saved separately and can be resumed after reconnection.
Click your connected wallet address in Spawned's top right corner, then select 'Switch Wallet'. Choose from your available Phantom wallets without disconnecting. Each wallet maintains separate creator revenue settings—the 0.30% fee attaches to whichever wallet launches the token. For team projects, ensure each member uses their designated wallet for proper revenue tracking.
The 0.1 SOL launch fee is a one-time cost. After launch, Spawned collects 0.30% from every trade as creator revenue—this comes from trader activity, not your wallet. The AI website builder has no monthly fees (saving $29-99/month versus standalone builders). If your token graduates, there's a small migration fee (approximately 0.05 SOL) to activate the 1% perpetual fee structure.
No, the creator revenue wallet is permanently set at launch. The 0.30% fee from every trade goes to the wallet that created the token. If you need to change receipt addresses, you must create a new token. Always verify you're using the correct Phantom wallet before finalizing your launch, especially if managing multiple projects or team wallets.
Phantom automatically receives and displays the 0.30% revenue from each trade without additional configuration. The fees appear as SOL deposits in your wallet after each transaction. For transparency, you can view detailed revenue reports in your Spawned dashboard, showing exact amounts per trade. Phantom's transaction history will show these as incoming transfers from the token's trading activity.
Use Phantom version 24.2.0 or newer for complete Spawned functionality. This version includes full Token-2022 standard support, which is required for post-graduation features and optimal fee handling. Older versions may work for basic launches but could have issues with the 1% perpetual fee activation or detailed revenue tracking. Always enable automatic updates in your browser extension settings.
No, Spawned never has access to your seed phrase, private keys, or wallet recovery information. The connection uses standard Solana wallet authentication protocols—you only approve transaction signing requests. Your seed phrase remains exclusively in your Phantom wallet. For maximum security, consider using a hardware wallet with Phantom for storing significant SOL amounts.
