Heima joined the edgeX derivatives platform with the launch of the HEIUSDC perpetual market, which allows users to take long or short positions on the HEI token without acquiring the underlying asset or accessing governance rights.
The project behind the token operates as a cross-chain coordination protocol designed to eliminate the typical limitations users face when operating across multiple networks.
Its architecture combines a layer 1 based on Substrate, omni accounts, gas abstraction, smart routing and an automated agent hub. The central premise is that the user declares the desired outcome —such as buying an asset at the best available price— and Heima’s infrastructure determines the path, manages the chain-specific accounts and covers the necessary gas.
HEI emerged in February 2025 as a replacement for Litentry’s LIT token, with a 1:1 conversion. Binance estimated at the time that the circulating supply would increase from approximately 66 million to 100 million HEI within a period of 20 months. In July 2026, the community approved and executed the burn of 16.5 million Heima tokens from an ecosystem allocation tied to Polkadot’s parachain model.
The platform already has an integration use case: PumpX, a memecoin exchange originally focused on Solana that incorporated Heima’s omni accounts and cross-chain routing to add multi-chain payment options and gas abstraction.
