Why Deploy Wallet Connect After Launching on Spawned?
Bridge your launched token to the wider dApp world.
If you've launched a token on Spawned, deploying Wallet Connect is a logical next step to increase its functionality. While Spawned handles the token creation, launchpad distribution, and provides the AI website builder, Wallet Connect handles application-layer connectivity. Deploying Wallet Connect is recommended for any token project aiming for dApp integration or needing secure wallet-based interactions. It complements Spawned's infrastructure by enabling your token to be used within decentralized applications, games, or services that require wallet authentication and transaction signing. This does not remove your token from Spawned's ecosystem; you continue to benefit from the 0.30% holder reward stream and the post-graduation 1% fee structure via Token-2022.
Spawned Native Features vs. Wallet Connect Integration
Two tools, one goal: a functional and accessible token.
Understanding what Spawned provides versus what Wallet Connect adds is key for developers.
| Feature | Spawned Platform | Wallet Connect Integration |
|---|---|---|
| Token Creation & Launch | Handles minting, initial liquidity, and launchpad sale. | Not involved. Your token must already exist. |
| Ongoing Economics | Provides 0.30% creator fee per trade and 0.30% holder rewards. | Does not affect these fees; they remain active. |
| Post-Graduation | Enforces 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022 program after graduation. | Independent protocol; operates alongside this. |
| Primary Function | AI website builder and launchpad for token inception. | Communication protocol to connect wallets to dApps. |
| User Onboarding | Investors buy tokens via the launchpad. | Users connect existing wallets (e.g., Phantom, Solflare) to your dApp. |
| Cost | 0.1 SOL (~$20) launch fee. | Possible gas fees for smart contract interactions; no direct protocol fee. |
The takeaway: Spawned is your launch foundation. Wallet Connect is an expansion tool for user interaction after launch.
Prerequisites Before You Begin
Ensure you have these items ready before starting the Wallet Connect deployment process for your Spawned-launched token.
- A live token launched on the Spawned platform. You should have your token mint address.
- The private key or authority for the token's update authority (often your developer wallet).
- A Project ID from the Wallet Connect Cloud. This is free to create.
- Basic familiarity with a Solana development environment (e.g., using @solana/web3.js).
- A target dApp or testing environment where the integration will be used.
- A small amount of SOL in your developer wallet for transaction fees.
Step-by-Step Deployment and Integration Guide
A clear 4-step process to go from zero to connected.
Follow these steps to integrate Wallet Connect with your existing Spawned token project.
Step 1: Set Up Your dApp Project
Initialize your frontend project (e.g., using Vite, Next.js) and install the required packages: @walletconnect/modal, @walletconnect/modal-sign, and @solana/wallet-adapter-walletconnect. Your Spawned-built website can be the foundation for this.
Step 2: Configure Wallet Connect Cloud
- Go to Wallet Connect Cloud and create a new project.
- Note your Project ID. This goes in your dApp's configuration.
- Configure the required metadata (App name, description, URL). Use your Spawned website URL here for consistency.
Step 3: Implement the Connection Logic
In your dApp's code, import the libraries and initialize the WalletConnectModal. Use your Project ID from step 2. Set up the event listeners for connect and disconnect to manage the user's session state. This is where your token's mint address will be used within transaction instructions.
Step 4: Build and Test Transactions Create a function that builds a transaction—for example, a simple token transfer using your SPL token. Use the connected wallet's address from Wallet Connect as the signer. Test thoroughly on Solana devnet first. Remember, any trades of your token will still generate the 0.30% fees for creator and holders as configured on Spawned.
Common Use Cases and Integration Patterns
Once deployed, how is Wallet Connect actually used with a Spawned token? Here are concrete examples.
Gaming Token Integration: Imagine you launched a gaming token on Spawned using our gaming token launch guide. With Wallet Connect, players can connect their Phantom wallet to your game's website. They can then purchase in-game items, where the transaction uses your SPL token and pays the 0.30% holder reward automatically.
Membership dApp: Your token acts as a membership pass. Users connect their wallet via Wallet Connect to a gated section of your Spawned-built website. The dApp logic checks their wallet for a balance of your token, granting access if they hold enough.
Multi-Chain Considerations: While this guide focuses on Solana, the pattern is similar for Ethereum or Base. If you created a token on another chain, the Wallet Connect setup is analogous, though the underlying web3 library changes. See our guides for Ethereum and Base.
The key is that Wallet Connect handles the wallet session, while your token's logic and economics, established on Spawned, handle the value transfer.
Troubleshooting Connection and Transaction Issues
Problem: Wallet Connect modal does not open. Solution: Check that your Project ID is correctly pasted into the initialization code. Ensure your dApp is served over HTTPS (or localhost for development).
Problem: User connects but transactions fail. Solution: Verify the connected wallet has SOL for gas fees. Confirm your transaction instructions correctly reference your token's mint address and the user's wallet as the signer. Check the Solana network (devnet/mainnet) matches.
Problem: Token balances don't appear in the dApp. Solution: Your dApp must actively fetch the SPL token balance for the connected wallet address using the Solana RPC. Connection alone doesn't display balances; you must code that query.
Problem: Fees or holder rewards aren't triggering. Solution: This is handled at the token level by Spawned and the Token-2022 program. If your token is correctly configured on Spawned with the 0.30% fees, they will apply to any on-chain trade, regardless of whether it was initiated via Wallet Connect or a direct wallet transfer. Verify your token's state on Solana Explorer.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The 0.30% creator fee per trade, the 0.30% ongoing holder rewards, and the post-graduation 1% perpetual fee are properties of your token's mint, managed by Spawned and the Token-2022 program. Wallet Connect is merely a protocol for wallet-to-dApp communication. Any on-chain transaction involving your token will still incur these configured fees, regardless of how the transaction was initiated.
Yes, absolutely. The AI-generated website provides an excellent foundation. You can add the Wallet Connect integration code to this website, turning it from a static information page into an interactive dApp frontend. This combines the speed of AI-powered site creation with advanced wallet connectivity.
The core Wallet Connect protocol setup (getting a Project ID, initializing the modal) is very similar. The main difference lies in the blockchain-specific libraries and logic you use to build transactions. For Solana, you use `@solana/web3.js` and SPL token instructions. For Ethereum, you'd use `ethers.js` or `web3.js` and ERC-20 ABI calls. The concept of connecting a wallet session remains the same.
The Wallet Connect protocol itself does not charge ongoing usage fees. Your costs are the standard Solana network transaction fees (gas) for any actions your users perform. There is also no conflict with Spawned's 0.1 SOL launch fee, which is a one-time cost already paid during token creation.
Wallet Connect supports a wide range of wallets. On Solana, popular options include Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack. Users are presented with a list of supported wallets when the connection modal opens. They are not required to install a new wallet if they already have one of the supported ones.
It directly increases utility. A token that can only be traded has limited use. By integrating Wallet Connect, you enable your token to be used as a payment method within dApps, a gate for exclusive content, or a tool for governance voting on a custom dashboard. This gives holders more reasons to acquire and keep your token, potentially increasing demand.
Yes, and this is strongly recommended. Use Solana devnet for all testing. You can deploy a test version of your dApp, use devnet wallets, and interact with a devnet copy of your token (you may need to mint a new test token on devnet). This allows you to debug the entire flow without spending real SOL or risking mainnet transactions.
