How to Go From Building an NFT Community to Launching a Global Crypto Exchange

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Backpack builds a self-custodial Solana wallet, an NFT community called Mad Lads, and a compliant centralized exchange launched six months ago; the exchange does spot trading for Solana, Bitcoin and Ethereum and records about 60 billion in trading volume so far. Mad Lads mints top Solana NFT rankings after a customized mint with whitelist games and a delayed launch to beat a DDoS/extortion attempt. The ecosystem hinges on self-custody via the Backpack wallet and a spot‑only compliant exchange.
