Every week, trading fees from $DARK ⬛ are split between $LIGHT ⬜ reflections for holders and $DARK burns. The market cap tier is locked at the Sunday  snapshot and applies for the entire next epoch. Fluctuations during the week do not affect the split until the next snapshot.

  • < $300k mcap → 30% reflections / 70% burns (strong deflation while we’re small).

  • $300k–$1m → 50% reflections / 50% burns (balanced growth).

  • $1m–$3m → 70% reflections / 30% burns (rewards get chunky).

  • > $3m → 90% reflections / 10% burns (max rewards when the ecosystem is thriving).

Every 4th week is a Bonus Epoch: 80% reflections, 20% burns, regardless of mcap.
If reflections are ever under $500, they roll over so payouts always feel impactful.

You must have at least $20 in $Dark to receive $light reflections.

i. every epoch, trading fees generated for Dark $DARK through the Heaven protocol will be split between Light $LIGHT reflections and Dark $DARK burns. epoch intervals occur approximately every 7 days on Sunday. trading fees are currently set to 1.0% based on Heaven’s Creator fee structure.

ii. the allocation between Light $LIGHT reflections and Dark $DARK burns will oscillate by market capitalization, so rewards feel meaningful at every stage.

  • at less than $300k market cap, 30% of fees buy Light $LIGHT for reflections and 70% of fees burn Dark $DARK.

  • between $300k and $1m market cap, fees split 50% to $LIGHT reflections and 50% to $DARK burns.

  • between $1m and $3m market cap, 70% of fees buy $LIGHT for reflections and 30% of fees burn $DARK.

  • at greater than $3m market cap, 90% of fees buy $LIGHT for reflections and 10% of fees burn $DARK.

iii. every fourth epoch is a bonus epoch. on bonus epochs the reflection share is set to at least 80%. if the current tier is already higher than 80% reflections, the higher tier applies. example, at greater than $3m the split remains 90% reflections and 10% burns.

iv. reflection floor and rollover. if the total value of reflections in Light $LIGHT during any epoch is less than $500, those reflections do not distribute. they roll over and are added to the next epoch’s reflections pool. this avoids tiny payouts and keeps events impactful.

v. holder inclusion expansion. as the darkness spreads, the number of holders included will grow, expanding with each epoch. expansion only occurs if the reflections sent in $LIGHT are greater than the previous epoch. the number of included holders will never decrease. however, an epoch expansion will still take place if there are 3 consecutive epochs where the reflections sent in $LIGHT are less than previous epoch.

vi. distribution method. reflections are distributed pro rata to the included holder set using a weekly snapshot taken on Sunday before execution. balances on centralized exchange addresses, team-controlled wallets, and liquidity pool contracts are excluded from receiving reflections.

vii. eligibility and anti sybil guardrails. to deter dust wallets and wash trading, an address must meet a minimum eligible balance at snapshot. default setting, the greater of 0.001% of total supply or $25 in $DARK equivalent. addresses that sell within the last n blocks before snapshot can be optionally excluded by governance to limit last minute gaming.

viii. sustainability lens. when volume is low, burns dominate and tighten supply. when volume is high, reflections dominate and reward loyal holders. volume and market capitalization often move together, which lets growth feed itself while keeping tokenomics adaptive.
