====Pre-open verification====
MindCap's full showcase of Heliopolis announced Pablohh as the verifier, saying he had already reached 27% on the level. MindCap also said that Pablohh wanted to verify it on 240Hz. On the same day, he uploaded his progress to his YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snbDRkT0qx4</ref> On 31 October, he reached 36%<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SEl4jjpsCk</ref> and later set a record of 39%.

However, on 16 February 2024, MindCap announced that Pablohh had dropped the level and given the verification to Jif, who had achieved 46%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgKVwFJYYzE</ref> On 20 April, Jif announced he was kicked from the verification due to demotivation.<ref>https://x.com/JifStuff/status/1781649541139177896</ref> MindCap passed the verification to Draxit III, but he dropped it after being unable to do the last wave. MindCap then passed it secretly to another verifier.

On 14 November, MindCap revealed the secret verifier in a joke tweet, Thnnder, who has spent over 108,000 attempts on the level.<ref>https://x.com/MindCap/status/1856869317469495720</ref> Thnnder had teased his secret project six days before.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGpe1O_UZRFgZZidnfx9n6iZHK8O2Ie47</ref> Later that day, Thnnder officially revealed his verification project and his progress run of 60-100% on the super-buffed version of the original unnerfed copy of the level.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G08eCti1e68</ref> He later achieved 17% and a run of 49-87%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQLEFiJ9a98</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-hg3r25hMs</ref>

However, after a stroke and accompanying finger pain, Thnnder temporarily quit the game on 8 March 2025 and dropped the level. Meanwhile, Abdieldevil picked up the level and began making progress, achieving a 27-50% run and a 48-100% run for the second time.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W_qyQmvfF0</ref> Before he picked up the level, he got 48-100% on Thnnder's version.

On 27 May, MindCap released a video showcasing the number of frame-perfects in the level.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et78md9-hoM</ref> Additionally, he announced up to three open verifier slots for anyone to join Abdieldevil for verification.

After becoming the second victor of [[Every End]], garbag picked up the level soon after and joined the race. He quickly made progress from 0%. On 20 September, he reached 28%, becoming the first player to pass Spamdrew128's UFO part.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKBxvqtQyl4</ref> His current record was 31%, achieved on 17 December.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsiaBlobyOc</ref> Abdieldevil took back the record with 32% on the level on 19 December.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCPIBzBpRMs</ref> Additionally, he set a record run of 38-95% on 29 January 2026.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFFZ9rKU0h4</ref> garbag tied the record at 32% on 18 February, although he failed earlier than Abdieldevil.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4iQIEBQU1c</ref> garbag extended the record by a fluke to 39% on 24 February.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VphXNq993xM</ref>

On 11 March, MindCap posted an update on Heliopolis's status. He implied he would make Heliopolis an open verification on 25 March to make up for the level's long release time, while also competing with other upcoming top levels (e.g., GRIEF, [[Angelicide]], KOCMOC Unleashed, etc.).
