Spotlight
Something big has just happened in the world of Solana: Analos, the first functional fork of Solana, is live and operational. Unlike dozens of meme posts promising “we will fork Solana,” this project has already delivered: an explorer, RPC, wallet, DEX, and now a working launchpad.
What We Know So Far
Analos has been live for just a few days, but progress from the team has been remarkably fast.
- August 22: RPC and wallet functionality launched. The first test token was minted, and the faucet for the native token $LOS went live. Over 1,300 wallets were created in less than 12 hours.
- August 23–24: Orca pools were forked for wrapped $LOS. The first pair went live, and users successfully completed swaps.
- August 25: A wallet UI refresh and three new test pairs were released. More than 500 swaps were processed. The first images of the upcoming launchpad were shared.
- August 26–27: Network updates improved infrastructure – Meteora. The team published its GitHub, defended against a DDOS attack, and announced a listing on CoinGecko. Tokenomics for the launchpad were also revealed.
- August 28: The roadmap was shared: wallet, explorer, and DEX already live; launchpad nearly complete; a secure bridge and mainnet refresh coming soon.
August 31: The Launchpad Goes Live

The wait is over. After 56 hours of nonstop work more than 130 hours of effort in total the first-ever fork mainnet launchpad officially launched at launch.analos.io.
- The launchpad is powered by $LOS, the official token of Analos.
- Within the first hour, 50 tokens were successfully created.
- The team confirmed that only $LOS minted on BelieveApp is the legitimate token.
A Deflationary Model
One of the core differences between Analos and Solana lies in its deflationary token model.
The bonding curve that powers the launchpad is structured so that a percentage of each curve is always burned. Regardless of the token’s value at any given time, 10% of the curve is permanently removed from circulation.
- The percentage adjustment is based on the dollar value per $LOS, but the burn remains constant.
- This ensures that, unlike Solana’s inflationary design, Analos operates under a deflationary mechanism, giving it a unique structural advantage in launchpad economics.
This model not only strengthens scarcity but also introduces a different economic narrative for creators and users building on Analos.
What’s Next?
The developers have outlined several next steps:
- Fixing minor bugs and refining the frontend based on community feedback.
- Enhancing the bridge and refreshing the mainnet.
- Improving the explorer UI.
- Supporting top creators building on Analos.
Community engagement is also ramping up: a space with @believeapp is scheduled.
The Importance of a Bridge
For a fork of Solana like Analos, a bridge is a vital component. It enables the transfer of assets and liquidity between Solana and Analos, preventing the new network from becoming isolated. By creating this connection, Analos can expand the utility of $LOS, attract developers and capital from Solana, and accelerate adoption across both ecosystems. This makes the bridge not just a technical feature, but a strategic cornerstone for long-term growth.
Why It Matters
Being the first in crypto is historically significant. Projects that delivered first even against skepticism often built long-lasting communities. Analos has distinguished itself not only by its concept but also by its execution speed and visible results: explorer, wallet, DEX, launchpad, and now a deflationary token model that sets it apart from Solana.
Analos has delivered functional infrastructure, defended its network, and launched key tools in rapid succession.
