In the fast-paced world of Solana meme coins, new players are constantly emerging to challenge the status quo. Recently, Matty Tay, co-founder of Colosseum and a former Solana team member, shared an insightful tweet highlighting the growing recognition of HeavenDEX's unique advantages. As a launchpad and automated market maker (AMM) on Solana, HeavenDEX is designed to streamline meme token launches while offering tools that set it apart from competitors like Pump.fun.

Matty's tweet points out how the community is starting to appreciate features like the $LIGHT flywheel, tiered creator fees for different types of projects (such as memes versus more structured ones), and upcoming tools for ICM projects. He emphasizes that execution is the real moat in this space, and Colosseum-backed founders are known for their relentless drive.

The $LIGHT Flywheel: Powering Sustainable Growth

One of the standout features mentioned is the $LIGHT flywheel. $LIGHT is HeavenDEX's native token, launched through a Genesis ICO on the platform itself. The flywheel mechanism uses protocol fees to invest in the ecosystem and burn tokens, creating a virtuous cycle that benefits holders and users alike.

As seen in the screenshot, over $1.21 million has been invested, with 1.835% of $LIGHT tokens burned. This deflationary pressure can help increase the token's value over time, making it attractive for long-term participants in the Solana meme ecosystem.

Tiered Creator Fees: Tailored for Memes and Beyond

Another key advantage is the tiered creator fees, which differentiate between pure meme coins and other project types. This approach allows for more flexibility, potentially lowering barriers for serious developers while maintaining revenue streams.

The community is buzzing about this, as evidenced by discussions on X. For instance, a conversation highlights frustrations with uniform fee structures in other launchpads like BonkFun and Bags, where quick sales by creators don't disqualify them from fees.

HeavenDEX's model aims to reward genuine effort and community building, which could lead to higher-quality meme tokens on Solana.

Performance Metrics: HeavenDEX vs. Competitors

To illustrate HeavenDEX's traction, Matty shared revenue and growth data comparing top launchpads. While Pump.fun still leads with $366 million in some metric (down 18.9%), HeavenDEX (represented by the ring icon) shows impressive growth of +99.74% to $56.3 million.

Daily revenue figures further underscore this: HeavenDEX generated $344,661 in the last 24 hours, surpassing BonkFun's $35,140 and Bags' $29,419, though trailing Pump.fun's $1,311,914.

Market Share in Solana Meme Launchpads

Looking at the broader picture, a chart of daily tokens deployed across Solana launchpads shows the evolving landscape. Pump.fun dominates, but newcomers like HeavenDEX are carving out shares, especially in recent months.

This data suggests a shift towards more innovative platforms that offer better tools and incentives.

What's Next for HeavenDEX?

With tools for ICM projects on the horizon—likely referring to integrated community management or incentivized creation modules—HeavenDEX is positioning itself as a comprehensive hub for Solana meme token creators and traders. Backed by Colosseum, the platform benefits from strong execution and ecosystem support.
