The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Launch a Token for a Travel Web3 Platform?
Tokens create aligned economies between travelers and platforms.
A dedicated token transforms a travel platform from a simple booking service into an owned community. Unlike traditional loyalty points, a Solana token is liquid, tradable, and can appreciate in value. It enables new models: token holders could vote on new destinations, receive a share of booking revenue, or get exclusive access to trips. For creators, it provides upfront capital for development and creates a direct economic link with your most engaged users. Launching on Spawned provides the token infrastructure so you can focus on building the travel experience.
Consider a platform offering curated surf trips. A token could grant holders a 10% discount on bookings, a vote on next season's locations, and a share of 0.30% of all secondary market trading volume. This aligns community growth with platform success.
Travel Token Launch: Spawned vs. Generic Launchpads
Choose a launchpad designed for utility, not just speculation.
For a travel web3 platform, specific features matter more than a generic token launch. Here’s how Spawned is built for sustainable project growth versus a typical pump-and-dump launchpad.
| Feature | Spawned (For Travel Platforms) | Generic Solana Launchpad |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% fee on every trade. Funds platform ops. | Often 0%. No ongoing revenue. |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% ongoing reward to holders. Incentivizes long-term community. | Rarely offered. |
| Post-Launch Fees | 1% fee via Token-2022 after graduation. Funds future development. | Not available; token utility often ends at launch. |
| Website Builder | AI travel site builder included (saves $29-99/month). | Requires separate dev work or SaaS cost. |
| Upfront Cost | 0.1 SOL launch fee (~$20). | Varies, but often similar initial cost. |
| Model Fit | Built for projects with long-term utility (e.g., booking, rewards). | Built for quick meme token flips. |
Structuring Your Travel Platform Tokenomics
Effective tokenomics for a travel web3 platform should balance community rewards, platform funding, and liquidity. Here’s a recommended structure for a 1 billion token supply.
- Liquidity Pool (40%): 400 million tokens. Provides immediate trading on Raydium. Locked initially, then managed via the launch dashboard.
- Community & Airdrops (25%): 250 million tokens. Reward early users, run airdrops for newsletter sign-ups, or incentivize first bookings.
- Platform Treasury (20%): 200 million tokens. Fund development, marketing, and partnerships. Vest over 2-3 years.
- Team & Advisors (10%): 100 million tokens. Compensate founders and key contributors. Vest over 3-4 years with a 6-month cliff.
- Liquidity Rewards (5%): 50 million tokens. Bonus rewards for users who provide liquidity, strengthening the pool.
How to Launch Your Travel Platform Token in 5 Steps
Follow this process to go from idea to a live token with a website in under 10 minutes on Spawned.
- Connect Wallet & Name Token: Connect your Solana wallet (like Phantom). Choose a token name (e.g., "SURFDAO") and symbol (e.g., "WAVE"). Set the total supply (e.g., 1,000,000,000).
- Configure Tokenomics: Allocate your supply using the structure above. Set the buy/sell tax to 0% (recommended for utility tokens) or a low fee if desired. Enable the Token-2022 extension for future 1% fees.
- Design with AI Website Builder: Use the integrated AI builder. Input your travel niche (e.g., "adventure ski trips"). The AI generates a landing page with booking CTAs, token utility explanation, and a community section. Customize colors and text.
- Review & Launch: The dashboard shows a summary: 0.1 SOL launch fee, 0.30% creator fee, 0.30% holder rewards, and your site URL. Confirm the transaction.
- Manage & Grow: After launch, use your dashboard to monitor trades, holder count, and revenue. Plan your first community airdrop to attract initial travelers.
Building Revenue and Token Utility
Define how your platform makes money and how holders benefit.
The token must have clear utility to maintain value. Combine these models to create a sustainable travel economy.
Revenue Streams for the Platform:
- 0.30% Creator Fee: Earned on every token trade. If daily volume reaches $100,000, that's $300/day for platform funds.
- 1% Post-Graduation Fee: After graduating from Spawned, a 1% transfer fee on all token moves (using Token-2022) can fund a community treasury for trip subsidies or marketing.
- Traditional Booking Fees: Charge a 5-10% fee on trip bookings paid in SOL or your token.
Token Utility for Travelers:
- Booking Discounts: Hold 10,000 tokens for a 5% discount on all trips.
- Governance & Voting: Token-weighted votes on new destinations, partner hotels, or feature development.
- Reward Staking: Stake tokens to earn a share of the platform's booking revenue or the 0.30% holder reward pool.
- Exclusive Access: Token-gated access to premium trips, early-bird bookings, or local experiences.

A tailored launchpad for serious travel creators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional loyalty points are locked to one platform and can be devalued. A Solana token is a liquid asset your community truly owns. It can be traded, its value can appreciate, and it can be integrated across multiple services in the Web3 travel ecosystem (like other booking sites or gear rentals). It also allows for transparent, on-chain governance.
On every token trade, 0.30% of the trade value is automatically distributed to all existing token holders proportionally to their balance. This happens in real-time on-chain. If you hold 1% of the token supply, you earn 1% of that 0.30% reward pool from every single trade, creating a constant incentive to hold and support the platform.
Core parameters like total supply are immutable. However, by using the Token-2022 program at launch, you gain the ability to enable a 1% transfer fee after you 'graduate' from Spawned. This fee is adjustable (up to a max) and can be directed to a designated wallet, allowing for future treasury management. The 0.30% creator and holder rewards are set at launch.
The AI builder creates a full landing page for your travel platform. Describe your niche (e.g., 'digital nomad coliving spaces'), and it generates hero text, feature sections for token utility, a booking or sign-up area, and a community hub. It's a live website hosted by Spawned, saving you $29-99/month on Webflow or similar tools.
Use your token allocation strategically. Airdrop tokens to an email list or Twitter followers for signing up. Offer token bonuses for the first 100 trip bookings. Partner with travel influencers and pay them in tokens. List your token on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) for liquidity, and use your website to clearly explain the utility of holding tokens for future trips and rewards.
It's ideal for both. A small group of surfers can launch a token to manage their shared trip fund and vote on destinations. A larger company can use it for a global loyalty and governance program. The low 0.1 SOL launch fee and no-code tools make it accessible for any creator, regardless of size.
Solana, via Spawned, offers significantly lower transaction costs and faster speeds, which is critical for a token meant for frequent, small transactions like booking rewards. [Creating a token on Ethereum](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-ethereum) involves high gas fees. [Creating a token on Base](/use-cases/token/how-to-create-gaming-token-on-base) is cheaper than Ethereum but still more expensive and slower than Solana for this use case.
