Why WalletConnect is Essential for Spawned Token Websites
The definitive guide to connecting wallets to your Spawned token website
WalletConnect integration transforms a static token website into an interactive platform where holders can connect, transact, and claim rewards. For tokens launched on Spawned, this integration is particularly valuable because it directly connects users to the platform's unique economic features.
Without wallet connection, users cannot interact with your token's smart contracts, participate in trading, or access the 0.30% ongoing holder rewards. The integration serves as the gateway between your community and the revenue mechanisms built into the Spawned ecosystem.
Compared to basic launchpads, Spawned's built-in AI website builder includes wallet connection templates that save approximately 10-15 hours of development time. This integration is necessary to activate the post-graduation features where 1% of trading fees flow back to creators via the Token-2022 program.
Step 1: Prerequisites and Initial Setup
Before beginning the WalletConnect integration, ensure you have these components ready:
-
Active Spawned Account: You must have launched a token through Spawned or be in the process of creating one. The platform charges 0.1 SOL (~$20) for launch with the AI website builder included.
-
Project ID from WalletConnect: Register at walletconnect.com to obtain your unique Project ID. This free registration provides the authentication layer for wallet connections.
-
Spawned AI Website Builder Access: Navigate to your token dashboard and select 'Edit Website' to access the integration tools.
-
Target Wallet List: Decide which wallets to support. We recommend starting with Phantom (75% market share on Solana), Solflare, and Backpack for comprehensive coverage.
-
Network Configuration: Ensure your website is configured for the Solana mainnet, devnet, or testnet as appropriate for your development stage.
Steps 2-4: Implementing WalletConnect Integration
Follow these precise steps to implement wallet functionality
Step 2: Access the WalletConnect Module
In your Spawned AI website builder dashboard, navigate to 'Integrations' > 'Wallet Connection'. Select 'WalletConnect' from the available options. The system will prompt you for your Project ID obtained in Step 1.
Step 3: Configure Connection Settings
Configure these essential settings:
- Chain ID: Set to '0x65' for Solana mainnet (hex representation of 101)
- Required Namespaces: Configure for 'solana' with methods including 'sol_signTransaction', 'sol_signMessage'
- Optional Namespaces: Add support for Ethereum if planning cross-chain features
- Session Properties: Set expiration to 7 days for user convenience
- UI Customization: Match your token's branding colors and theme
Step 4: Implement Connection Triggers
Add connection triggers to your website:
- Connect Button: Place in header/navigation with clear call-to-action
- Transaction Triggers: Automatically prompt connection when users attempt to trade
- Rewards Access: Gateholder reward claims behind wallet connection
- Balance Display: Show connected wallet balance after successful connection
The Spawned builder provides pre-built components for these elements, reducing implementation time by approximately 85% compared to manual coding.
Step 5: Testing and Validation
