How to participate

There is no “connect wallet” or hot wallet signing necessary to participate in the Genesis ICO.

At the beginning of the sale, you enter your receiving SOL wallet address. This is the wallet address that will receive your $LIGHT tokens (and any proportionate refunds) to.

Then, you receive a dedicated address to send SOL/USDC/USDT to. This wallet address is linked to your receiving wallet. Any funds sent to this receiving address will mark your contribution to the the ICO.

Why launch like this? Who is the marginal buyer?

An uncapped ICO that we are able to end at any time is the best possible route to allow the market to find a fair opening price for $LIGHT and ensure even distribution amongst sale participants.

There are a number of dynamics within the sale to incentivize marginal buy pressure on market open:
  1. We can end the sale at any time. The sale can last anywhere from 10 minutes to 72h. Many people who are waiting to see where the price is headed before buying will be sidelined by the sale closing early, and forced to buy on market open.
  2. We can issue proportionate refunds in SOL. The team holds the right to partially refund everyone proportionately to bring the total amount raised (and opening mc) down. This incentivizes buy pressure from existing sale participants on market open.

  3. “It’s just another launchpad”. Heaven is far from a consensus trade or platform, and many people will initially fade $LIGHT for that reason. Once the platform has launched and is generating revenue, those who initially faded will be sidelined and circle back.
