Thrust Launches on Solana to Redefine Celebrity Coins and Fan Ownership

Quick Breakdown 

  • Thrust debuts on Solana to create transparent, contract-based celebrity coins.
  • Iggy Azalea, N3on, and Megan Fox headline the platform’s early launches.
  • Built for fans, Thrust replaces speculation with real cultural participation.

 

Thrust, a new Web3 platform built on Solana, has officially launched , aiming to transform the way fans engage with celebrities in the digital economy. Co-founded by entrepreneur Jake Antifaev and backed by rapper Iggy Azalea and influencer N3on, Thrust introduces what it calls “culture coins”, tokens designed to promote real participation instead of speculation.

Celebrity-backed platform targets transparency and fairness

Unlike the memecoin craze that often fueled hype-driven launches, Thrust aims to bring structure and accountability to the fan-token market. The platform eliminates insider allocations and pump-and-dump schemes by introducing enforceable contracts for every launch. According to the company, this model ensures that both creators and fans understand what they’re committing to.

Iggy Azalea joins Thrust as Creative Director and strategic partner, with N3on serving as the platform’s first launch artist. Actress Megan Fox will follow with her own release, signaling Hollywood’s growing movement into the blockchain space. Azalea’s coin migration to Thrust is planned for the end of the year, with additional celebrity launches expected in the coming months.

Building a sustainable “fan economy” on solana

Thrust’s design prioritizes ease of use, offering fiat on-ramps, mobile-first access, and Apple Pay integration to onboard mainstream users. The platform’s “culture coin” framework is intended to align creator incentives with long-term community engagement rather than short-term profit.

“Celebrity coins lost credibility because they lacked transparency,”

said Jake Antifaev, CEO of Thrust.

“We built Thrust so fans and creators can participate in an ecosystem based on trust and shared value.”

Thrust will officially debut today at the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Miami, where Antifaev, Azalea, and N3on will present the platform’s first live demonstration.

In contrast to Thrust’s structured approach, blockchain data from Nansen reveals that 13 wallets earned over $24.5 million trading Kanye West’s YZY token on Solana before its price collapsed. The token surged more than 1,400% within an hour after its launch, reaching $3 before plummeting, underscoring the volatility and speculative nature that Thrust aims to correct in the celebrity token market.
