HeavenDEX: Unified Launchpad & AMM on Solana - What You Need to Know
Heaven's Architecture, God Flywheel, Permissioned Fees, and More
Solana’s memecoin boom produced a proliferation of launchpads built on Pumpfun’s bonding‑curve system. Liquidity fragmented across dozens of forks, fees flowed to rent‑seeking intermediaries, and bots took all the edge.
Heaven aims to reset the playing field. Branded as “the final launchpad & AMM on Solana,” Heaven is a vertically integrated venue designed to house everything from experimental memes to serious projects. It offers instant, permissionless token launches while routing 100% of protocol revenues back into its native token, $LIGHT, aligning protocol performance with tokenholder returns.
In this edition, we’ll examine Heaven’s core design choices, permissionless launches with permissioned fees, and the God Flywheel.

Why Heaven Exists
The launchpad landscape has drifted toward fragmentation and extraction. Pump.fun’s bonding curve offered a clever bootstrapping mechanism, but dozens of clones have since emerged, each tweaking parameters to capture attention.
This model ultimately creates a cabal environment, with fragmented launchpads injecting coins into their ecosystem to stand out. This trend undermines pump.fun’s original ethos of dethroning low‑float VC launches.
Heaven’s embraces both legitimate projects and meme communities to launch on the platform. Heaven offers each project with its own flywheel address so that buybacks and burns can be automated, aligning developers with their communities. Thus, positioning themselves as the go‑to venue for any tokenized idea.
All‑in‑One Vertical Integration
By owning both the launchpad and the AMM, Heaven can fine‑tune the entire lifecycle of a token. Projects launch directly into the AMM with standardized parameters, eliminating the need for bridging to another DEX and reducing opportunities for snipers. The integrated design also lets Heaven implement fine‑grained fee structures, such as adjusting protocol fees based on market cap thresholds or token categorizations.
1% for sub‑$100k coins
0.25% for community coins over $100k
and 0.5% for creator coins over $100k
These fees flow into the flywheel, while separate creator fees reward or penalise deployers depending on their classification.
Every creator token launched on Heaven can enable its own flywheel address, a dedicated wallet that collects contributions and executes programmatic buybacks. If the token is sent to its flywheel address, it is burned directly. If other tokens (e.g., SOL, USDC) are sent, the contract swaps them for the token and burns the result.
Permissioned Fee Structure & Creator Categories
While launches are permissionless, creator fees are permissioned. After a token crosses $100k in trading volume, Heaven’s admins classify it into one of three categories: “Creator,” “Community,” or “Blocked.”
Each category determines how much of the creator fee flows to the deployer and how much is redirected into $LIGHT buybacks.
Creator: A legitimate project with a team or artist; earns a 1% trading fee in SOL
Community/Meme: An organically spawned meme with no team; earns 0.1% trading fee
Blocked: A larp or scam token designed to extract value; all creator fees are diverted to $LIGHT buybacks.
Deployer self‑categorisation initiates a review process and fees are held until classification is confirmed. This system lets Heaven reward real builders while preventing scams from siphoning revenue, and it allows the protocol to redirect fees from low‑quality launches back into its token flywheel.
Starseed: Ecosystem Fund
Starseed is Heaven’s ecosystem fund that deploy liquidity and support into Heaven-launched projects from memes to ICM builds, similar to Pumpfun's Glass Full Foundation. Starseed is designed to be non-signalled, letting support compound by silently accumulating rather than leaking them to pre-positioned flippers.
Starseed also works in Y-Combinator-style cohorts inviting builder to work around a set of ideas in each “chapter”. Their first chapter, “Ember” runs from August 18th, 2025 - September 1st, 2025.
In practice, protocol fees bid $LIGHT → Starseed selectively incubates external pairs whose success increases venue-wide fees → fees used to bid more $LIGHT.
The God Flywheel & $LIGHT Tokenomics
Heaven’s most distinctive feature is its God Flywheel which is a commitment to direct 100% of protocol revenue to buying back and burning $LIGHT. As traders and launch fees generate income, the contract automatically repurchases $LIGHT on the open market and removes it from circulation.
This deflationary design is the central reason the team built its own AMM rather than wrapping a third‑party pool, giving them full control over fee routing and slippage.
To-date, over $2M has been bought back from and burnt from circulation.
At 1/10th the size of Pumpfun, Heaven is already pulling in 1/3rd their 24h revenue and channeling it all into perpetual buyback and burns.
$LIGHT debuted via the Genesis ICO, an uncapped sale that allowed the market to set the opening price. The sale lasted up to 48 hours, with the team able to close it early or issue partial refunds to improve distribution.
The token supply is capped at 1 billion tokens with distribution split across:
Public sale (50%)
Team (20%)
Community incentives (10%)
Investors (5%)
Liquidity (5%)
Foundation (10%)
Team and investor allocations vest linearly over two years, aligning long‑term incentives. The buyback mechanism means every swap and launch on the platform accrues value to $LIGHT holders, creating a reflexive loop that the founders hope will attract both builders and speculators.
Closing Thoughts
Heaven enters a crowded Solana launchpad scene with a clear thesis: Revenue‑driven flywheels with fee controls can unify a fragmented memecoin market while rewarding the right stakeholders.
By committing all protocol fees to $LIGHT buybacks and burning, introducing a creator classification system to filter scams, and launching tokens directly into its own AMM, Heaven seeks to differentiate itself from bonding‑curve clones.
Early data suggest strong interest with >25,000 tokens deployed to-date and over $2M in revenue routed to buybacks.
Whether Heaven can maintain momentum and integrate with broader liquidity routers remains to be seen, but its bold flywheel and standardized design offer a compelling experiment in launchpad economics.
