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.
Verdict: Phantom Integration is Non-Negotiable for Spawned Tokens
Your token's success depends on its Phantom presence.
For any token launched on Spawned, appearing correctly in Phantom Wallet isn't optional—it's essential. Phantom is the dominant wallet on Solana, holding over 60% market share among active users. If your token doesn't display properly here, you're missing your primary audience.
Spawned simplifies this with a structured launch process, but post-launch integration requires specific steps. The good news: Phantom's system is developer-friendly. By following this tutorial, you ensure holders see your token's correct name, symbol, logo, and decimals immediately after purchasing. This builds instant credibility compared to tokens that show as 'Unknown'.
Our Recommendation: Complete Phantom integration within 24 hours of your Spawned launch. It's the single most effective trust signal for new holders and costs nothing but a small amount of developer time.
Pre-Launch Checklist: What You Need Before Connecting
Before you start the integration process, gather these essentials. Having them ready will make the Phantom setup take under 10 minutes.
Essential Assets:
- Token Mint Address: Your unique Solana token address generated during the Spawned launch process. Find this on your Spawned project dashboard.
- High-Resolution Logo: A 256x256 pixel PNG with transparent background. Phantom will display this next to your token name.
- Official Project Website: Use Spawned's included AI website builder to create this instantly. A live site is required for many token list submissions.
- Verified Social Links: At minimum, a Twitter/X account for your project. Community lists often verify social presence.
- Accurate Token Metadata: The exact token name, symbol (max 10 characters), and decimals you set during your Spawned launch.
Step-by-Step: Connect Your Spawned Token to Phantom
Follow these three concrete steps to get your token displaying correctly for all Phantom users.
Step 1: Manual Add for Immediate Testing (2 Minutes)
First, test that your token metadata is correct by adding it manually to your own Phantom wallet.
- Open Phantom Wallet and navigate to your wallet's main asset screen.
- Click 'Add / Hide Tokens' then 'Add Custom Token'.
- Paste your token's mint address from your Spawned dashboard.
- Phantom will auto-fill name, symbol, and decimals if metadata is on-chain.
- Click 'Add Token'. Your token should now appear with its balance.
This confirms your on-chain data is correct. If details are wrong, you may need to relaunch with corrected metadata.
Step 2: Submit to Community Token Lists (15 Minutes)
For automatic display in ALL Phantom wallets, your token needs to be on a recognized list. The most important is the Solana Token List.
- Go to the Solana Token List GitHub repository.
- Follow their submission template, providing your mint address, logo URL, website, and social links.
- Create a pull request. Approval typically takes 24-72 hours if all information is verifiable.
- Once merged, your token will automatically appear in Phantom for any holder who searches its symbol.
Step 3: Create Your Project Hub with Spawned's AI Builder (5 Minutes)
While waiting for list approval, use Spawned's included AI website builder to create a verified project hub.
- From your Spawned dashboard, access the AI website builder.
- Input your token details and project description.
- The AI generates a professional site with sections for tokenomics, roadmap, and a direct 'Add to Phantom' button.
- This site serves as your official verification point and improves list submission success rates.
Common Integration Issues & Solutions
Quick fixes for the most frequent Phantom display problems.
Even with careful setup, you might encounter these issues. Here's how to fix them.
Problem: Token shows as 'Unknown' in Phantom after adding. Solution: This means your metadata isn't on-chain or the mint address is incorrect. Verify you're using the exact address from your Spawned launch transaction. All Spawned launches automatically deploy metadata via Token-2022, so this is rare. If it persists, contact Spawned support.
Problem: Logo doesn't display, shows generic icon. Solution: Your logo URL might be inaccessible or the wrong format. Ensure it's a direct link to a 256x256 PNG (not a webpage). Host it on a reliable service like GitHub, imgur, or your Spawned-built website's asset folder.
Problem: Token list submission gets rejected. Solution: Most rejections are due to unverified social links or a non-functional website. Use your Spawned AI-built site as your official website—it's always live and professional. Ensure your Twitter/X account has your project name and links to your site.
Problem: Decimals show incorrectly, causing balance errors. Solution: Decimals are immutable after launch on Solana. If you launched with 9 decimals on Spawned but want 6, you cannot change it. You must relaunch a new token with correct decimals. Always double-check this during the Spawned launch flow.
Beyond Basic Display: Advanced Phantom Features
Once your token displays correctly, explore these advanced Phantom integrations that can improve holder experience.
Custom Token Lists for Your Community: Create a branded token list specifically for your project. Share this JSON file with your community so they can import it into Phantom with one click. This list can include your main token, any LP tokens, and future airdrop tokens—all with custom logos and verified information. It's a professional touch that sets serious projects apart.
Direct Wallet Actions from Your Website: With Spawned's AI-built website, you can implement 'Add to Phantom' buttons that trigger wallet interactions. Using Solana wallet adapter code, your site can prompt users to add your token directly from your project hub. This reduces friction and increases the percentage of holders who properly store your token.
Monitoring Holder Activity: While Phantom doesn't provide analytics directly, your Spawned dashboard shows holder count and distribution. By combining this with on-chain explorers, you can see how many unique Phantom addresses hold your token. This data is useful for understanding your true community size beyond exchange balances.
Preparing for DEX Listings: Phantom integration is often a prerequisite for DEX aggregators and decentralized exchanges. A token that properly displays in Phantom with verified metadata is more likely to be listed on platforms like Raydium, Orca, and Jupiter. Think of Phantom integration as the first step in broader Solana DeFi accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
After submitting to the Solana Token List, approval typically takes 24-72 hours. However, holders can manually add your token immediately using the mint address. The manual add process takes 2 minutes and provides instant visibility while waiting for list approval. Always share your mint address and manual add instructions with your early community.
No, Spawned doesn't automatically submit to token lists. This is intentional—community-run lists require verification of legitimate projects with websites and social presence. Spawned gives you all the tools: proper on-chain metadata via Token-2022, an AI-built website for verification, and this tutorial. You complete the submission, ensuring only serious projects reach the lists.
First, review the rejection reason—usually it's an unverifiable website or social link. Use your Spawned-built website as your official site, as it's always live and professional. Ensure your Twitter/X account clearly links to this site. Fix any issues and resubmit. You can continue operating while waiting; holders can still manually add your token via mint address.
Yes, but it requires a new token list submission. On-chain metadata for name and symbol is immutable on Solana, but token lists can update logo URLs. If you need to change your logo, update your hosted image and submit a PR to the Solana Token List with the new URL. The change will propagate to Phantom within a few days after merge.
No, Phantom integration is completely free. The Solana Token List is community-maintained and doesn't charge for submissions. The only costs are your initial Spawned launch fee (0.1 SOL) and potential transaction fees for testing. Spawned's included AI website builder also eliminates the typical $29-99 monthly website cost.
Manual adding requires each holder to paste your mint address into their Phantom wallet. Automatic display happens when your token is on an approved list—it appears when users search its symbol. Manual adding is immediate but doesn't scale. Automatic display reaches all Phantom users but requires list approval. Do both: guide early holders to manually add while pursuing list submission.
Basic computer skills are sufficient. The process involves copying your mint address from Spawned, pasting it into Phantom for testing, then following a GitHub template for list submission. No coding is required. Spawned's dashboard provides all necessary information in one place, and this tutorial gives exact steps. The most technical part is creating a GitHub pull request, which follows a template.
Spawned's 0.30% ongoing holder reward, distributed automatically via Token-2022, incentivizes users to hold tokens in their Phantom wallet rather than on exchanges. More holders in Phantom means more organic visibility and network effects. When potential buyers see many active holders in Phantom, it builds confidence in your token's legitimacy and community strength.
