Our Strategic Investment in Thruster, the Largest dApp on Blast

We are delighted to announce our strategic investment in Thruster, one of the fastest-growing DeFi protocols within the Blast ecosystem. By participating in the successful US$7.5 million seed round led by Pantera Capital, OKX Ventures reaffirms its pivotal role as a key supporter of groundbreaking projects and visionary founders in the blockchain sphere.

Thruster's remarkable ascent in the Blast ecosystem is nothing short of remarkable. Since its launch on March 1st of 2024, Thruster has rapidly garnered over US$300 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and facilitated close to US$2 billion in trading volume. What sets Thruster apart is its integration-first approach, fostering collaborations with leading protocols to augment liquidity provision and optimize trading execution.

Stay tuned for further updates on Thruster's pivotal role in reshaping DeFi within Blast and its transformative impact on the broader blockchain landscape.
