I think it’s valid to criticize new entrants to the launchpad space, which is growing more crowded by the week. But one criticism you can’t make towards @peacefuldecay and the team @heavendex is that they are purely flash or philosophy with no substance to back it up. Two major launchpads on the market today have built their own AMM, custom fit for their products: 1) Pump 2) Heaven The rest are wrappers. I don’t believe launchpads are solved at all. Not when the current market is 200k people playing Fortnite scalping games. If there is meaningful growth left in this space it will come from new games, created with new technology at the base level, not a flashier UI (agreed with the original post there). Nobody knows yet what the best version of ICM looks like, but very few teams even have the tools to find out. Heaven is one of them.

we’re inviting the first mainnet testers for @darklakefi this week. if you want to try the blind slippage pools, let me know. we’re just doing a small fartcoin-usdc pool for testing and gathering feedback. let me tell you where we will go from here.

Met this team @colosseum, one of the most fun crypto products I've seen. First, they embedded a Solana wallet inside your keyboard. Which lets you trade inside any app. You can be on X or anywhere, copy a CA directly into TypeX and trade without switching apps. Then they gamified it. As you type, you unlock tradable digital collectibles as "caps" for your keys.
