Iggy Azalea joins new Solana-based ‘celebrity coin’ launchpad Thrust as creative director, plans to migrate MOTHER token
Iggy Azalea has joined the new Solana-based launchpad Thrust as creative director and plans to migrate her MOTHER memecoin to the platform.Summary
Rapper and crypto entrepreneur Iggy Azalea is migrating her MOTHER memecoin to Thrust, a new Solana-based token launchpad designed for the creator economy that aims to bring legitimacy to celebrity coins. Thrust differentiates itself from platforms like Pump.fun by vetting every launch and structuring deals with enforceable contracts to protect both creators and fans, eliminating insider allocations and pump-and-dump schemes.
Azalea, serving as creative director to onboard pop culture into crypto, stated her goal is to create real revenue for community engagement through live events. Thrust co-founder Jake Antifaev confirmed that celebrities will sign legal contracts defining their obligations. The platform is launching with Twitch streamer N3on and plans to feature actress Megan Fox later in the year.
Thrust is also eliminating the bonding curve model used by competitors, which Azalea argues rewards bots over believers. Furthermore, 100% of pre-sale funds will go directly to the liquidity pool to reduce volatility, and Azalea plans to reserve 1% of migrated MOTHER tokens for community airdrops and events.
