Introduction
Thruster Finance delivers a set of tools aimed at liquidity providers and governance participants, allowing them to earn sustainable returns through enhanced AMM models. By combining constant factor AMMs and concentrated liquidity pools, the platform offers flexibility for liquidity providers. Governance is managed through vote-escrowed tokens (veThrust), ensuring that participants can influence the distribution of rewards and protocol development.
Background and History
The project was launched to address the limitations in existing liquidity protocols, aiming to provide more sustainable returns and greater control over liquidity management. Thruster Finance has evolved by introducing innovative tools like BlastScan for tracking liquidity and implementing incentives through the Blast program. The continuous development of governance tools and liquidity mechanisms remains a priority on the project roadmap.
Key Features & Contributions & Technologies
- Constant Factor AMM: Provides stability for liquidity pools with minimal volatility exposure.
- Concentrated Liquidity AMM: Allows liquidity to be focused within specific price ranges to maximize returns.
- veThrust Tokens: Vote-escrowed tokens used for governance participation and emissions control.
- Blast Incentives: Rewards users for active participation in governance and liquidity provision.

Usage and Applications
Thruster Finance’s features cater to liquidity providers seeking optimized returns and governance participants who want to influence the platform’s future. The platform’s combination of AMMs and governance models offers a seamless experience for users, balancing risk with profitability. Users can also monitor their positions in real-time using BlastScan, enhancing their liquidity management strategies.
Governance & Tokenomics
Governance is centered around the use of veThrust tokens, which are earned by locking the platform’s native token. These tokens grant users the ability to vote on emission gauges and influence key decisions. The governance model ensures that users who actively participate in the protocol’s development are rewarded with incentives and emissions.
