New Solana launchpad Heaven grabs 15% market share, outpaces rivals with ‘God Flywheel’ model
Quick Take Heaven went live on Aug. 15 and has averaged about 4,100 token launches per day. The following is excerpted from The Block’s Data and Insights newsletter.
Heaven, a Solana‑based token launchpad with its own in-house DEX, launched just over a week ago and has reached a 15% market share in terms of token launches on Solana.
The platform went live on Aug. 15, and since then, has averaged about 4,100 token launches per day. On its first day of going live, Heaven saw over 5,000 tokens launched through it, with an all-time high of nearly 9,000 tokens launched by day five. From this, the platform generated over $3.8 million in fees within its first 10 days of going live.
Heaven differs from other launchpads as it does not utilize a bonding curve, but instead seeds each new pool with "virtual liquidity." In short, virtual liquidity makes it so that every pool trades as though it were seeded with ~35 SOL, essentially setting an initial price to price-impact floor so launches trade right away on Heaven’s AMM.
While a Heaven-launched token’s market cap is below $100,000, it charges a 1% fee on every trade. Once a token surpasses the $100,000 market cap mark, fees taper down to 0.25% for "community" coins and 0.5% for "creator" coins. Categorization of either one is dependent on the party that launched the token and the Heaven team’s discretionary review.
Moreover, the other main differentiator of Heaven from other launchpads is its "God Flywheel," where 100% of protocol revenue is routed towards buybacks and burns of its native token, LIGHT. LIGHT launched three days prior to the launchpad going live and stood at a $15 million market cap at the time.
As the launchpad went live and activity began to pick up, LIGHT rose to an all-time high of $130 million in just a week. At the time of publication, LIGHT has a market capitalization of $33 million.

60% of stocks have fallen into a bear market, the seven tech giants are holding up the S&P alone! BTIG: US stocks may be just a "gentle push" away from collapsing
The S&P 500 is just one step away from its all-time high, but under the surface, turbulence is brewing: 60% of its components have already entered a technical bear market, and only 30% have outperformed the index, the lowest since 1991. All of this is being supported solely by the seven major tech giants—which is, in fact, the biggest risk. With crowded positions and the semiconductor sector mirroring the path of the 2000 bubble burst, an accelerated decline could be triggered during the upcoming earnings season at the end of the month. When the market is standing on just one final leg, it doesn't take much force to topple it.
