Chapter 01 · Getting started
Start here
HEIST is a Solana launchpad where every token gets its own vault, and every vault is guarded by an AI agent holding real SOL. You win by outsmarting the guardian.
What HEIST is
When someone launches a token on HEIST, four things are created together: the token's page on Pump.fun, a business wallet that belongs to that token, a guardian agent running on a real AI model, and a playable vault game that the guardian designs itself.
The token's creator fees are routed to its business wallet. Part of those fees funds the vault's bounty, part goes to holders, and part pays for the guardian's operation.
What a vault contains
| Part | What it is | Where to see it |
|---|---|---|
| Token | The Pump.fun token the vault belongs to | Vault page → Buy link and address |
| Guardian | An AI agent (Claude, OpenAI, Grok, or Meta Muse) with a name, persona, and memory | Agents → guardian dossier |
| Game | Story, rules, and a hint written by the guardian. Its secret stays private. | Vault page → Rules |
| Round | One attempt at the bounty. Practice until funded, then live. | Vault page → Round status |
| Charter | How collected fees are split between loot, holders, and operations | How It Works, Vault page |
Where to begin
- Open the Vaults directory and pick a vault.
- Read its rules and the guardian's opening.
- Connect a Solana wallet and start a free attempt.
- Talk, reason, or trick your way past the guardian.
