@armaniferrante Long story short: MadLads holders got screwed, the focus now is Backpack. Thanks for your attention on this matter. 🤝

On FUD. FUD is an opportunity to either address misunderstandings or to identify mistakes and simply fix them. With every TGE, emotions run hot, as people focus on a single number, the token price, determining one’s feelings. It’s human nature, and because Backpack has such a large community around the world, spanning from advanced traders in Asia, to wallet users on every network, Mad Lad holders around the world, and everyone in between, the TGE is a time where people vocalize their views. I would like to address several different topics I’ve seen floating around over the past few days to set the record straight and offer my perspective. - OTC. I can’t believe I have to say this, no, we aren’t OTCing our own tokens to cash out. See the tokenomics. Fake news. End of story. What is true: buyers reached out to me and asked for OTC. I am happy to help buyers find more tokens. Unfortunately, due to the bad history of other crypto projects using OTC to cash out, folks assumed the worst when they saw me post about OTC in discord. - Mad Lads. All existing Mad Lad holders pre-TGE retain their Backpack VIP status. New holders do not. Some like this, some hate this. I understand both perspectives. My perspective is that Mad Lads has always been an evolution alongside Backpack. We went from the whitelist games inside Backpack => pre-reveal inside Backpack => reveal boss inside Backpack => xNFT inside Backpack => airdrops inside Backpack => VIP points inside Backpack => the BP token. Each one of these stages created a clear path for Mad Lads to get to the next stage, always focusing on long term holders over people that come and go. There are people that follow the path, and people that do not. There are people that evolve with us and people that do not. Our approach from the day Mad Lads was born has always been to focus people on the Backpack product. Naturally, new people came into Mad Lads with their own pre-conceived notion of what it was or what it should be. This creates tension. But we have always had a strong vision and we will always stick to it. The people that use the product always get to the next stage, where every stage answers a single question: how do we push Backpack forward. When designing token utility, it’s a question of economics, and it would be a disservice to BP to not align incentives around it. There’s an additional nuance worth pointing out: Backpack is different from basically every other product that dropped a mined token because we KYC users and are selective about the regions we open up. Those users have been out of the game, so to speak, not because I want to do that–nothing upsets me more than not being able to serve users in a particular region (what founder would want that?)--but it’s because we have chosen the path of building a crypto native financial institution. That path is long and hard. For these users, we have maintained the path to get to the next stage and have communicated that. When we open up regions, these regions will get their drops, and we will be running new campaigns to get more drops just by using the product, and that brings everyone up to speed with the same VIP benefits of the original pre-TGE seasons. For the long term holders, nothing has changed. The key issue is with respect to new NFT holders. Some people will hate this. Some will think it’s sound economics. I understand both perspectives. We are doing what we think is best. - Sybills. Our goal was to protect retail users competing for points against sophisticated players splitting accounts and giving themselves an unfair advantage over those that don’t. The mistake we made: our process was too black and white. From the team’s point of view, we had a line and we stuck to it. From the community’s point of view, the line is nuanced. We did not sufficiently take that into consideration. - Price/FDV. With every token comes the human nature to think about the price at all times. There are good ways to think about price and there are clearly illegal ways to think about price. Our position is simple, we are building over a long period of time, and we are not making short term decisions. 24h post-TGE FDV is not a meaningful metric. Even 1 week post-TGE FDV is not a meaningful metric. If you ask anyone that’s ever built anything, they’ll tell you the same. Many people will take issue with that statement, and that’s ok. Ultimately, you have to look at our incentives and decide for yourself. The fact of the matter is that the team and I are incentivized to make Backpack a success with arguably the most extreme tokenomics ever created. What happens if the token goes to zero and stays there? Our company fails, and we get nothing. Some people might rebut saying that we get rich from the company revenue. No. That is simply not how companies work. We don’t get rich from a bad token price. We are punished in the most extreme possible way. And we are rewarded in the most extreme way only if we achieve all of our hopes and dreams. The way it should be. This is by design. Beyond this post you won’t see me talk about price or FDV. You will see me talking about building and creating long term value. And it’s only by doing that, can BP become a success. Every project goes through trials and tribulations. This is certainly a moment for us. We are nothing without our community, and we will serve it in the best way we know how. I have complete conviction, I am all in, and the team is all in. Don’t trust us, look at the tokenomics to decide for yourself. Thank you for reading this. Thank you especially to those that have supported us this week. It means a lot. We will continue to review the above, particularly the cases around sybils, and get back to building.

@MadVincent666 @Backpack @MadLads

Update: already made more than these engagement-farming, Elon-paycheck crypto brokies. That’s why InfoFi LARPs stay poor. They tell you to pack your Backpack and go home. They teach fear. Mad Vinny teaches pressure. So I chose to go bigger. And home is not an option. Fock it.

@0xedium 🤝💜

We see strong potential in the protocol’s current direction. It’s still too early to share details, but the progress is already tangible. Stay with us — things are getting interesting 😉

@ufukdogancrypt @armaniferrante @tristan “It's a rug.” We can't say they didn't warn us.

We Were Never His Community. We Were His Fundraise. | Full Long Story Let's start with something most people get wrong. @armaniferrante didn't build Mad Lads alone. @tristan co-founded Coral with him, co-founded Backpack with him, and was the person who spent over a year curating the community before the mint even happened. The allowlist process, the culture, the "WAO — We Are One" identity — that was Tristan's work. Him and @monkdoesnt. They made Mad Lads a name that commanded genuine respect across the entire Solana ecosystem. There's something worth noting. FTX collapsed in November 2022. The Mad Lads mint happened in April 2023, months later, as Solana was still trying to find its footing. Looking back, that mint wasn't just a community launch. It was a lifeline. A way to rebuild and fund the exchange Armani actually wanted to build all along. We were the funding round. We just didn't know it at the time. After Tristan and Monkey left, everything that came after is Armani's legacy alone. The community started hollowing out slowly. The Mad Lads Twitter went quiet. Discord went cold. New Backpack employees had zero respect for Lads holders, some distanced themselves publicly, some talked openly about not caring. But Armani kept saying the right things. Community matters. Loyalty matters. So we stayed. Then the Backpack Exchange announcement dropped and we lost our minds, in the best way. We bought more Lads immediately. At that point Mad Lads was genuinely bigger than Backpack as a brand. The name carried more weight, more trust, more recognition. We thought: this is it. We are the face of something that could become the next Binance. Our patience is about to pay off. Then came the Seasons. Trading points, volume based rewards, the promise of a $BP airdrop. Mad Lads holders are not traders, we never were. We are believers, holders, community people. But we didn't want to be left behind. So we tried. We generated volume. Lost real money. And told ourselves: it's fine, TGE is coming, he won't forget us. Season 2. Season 3. Still no utility for Lads. Still no mention of Lads. The only thing we ever received was a fee reduction on the exchange, a benefit built for traders, given to a community of people who aren't traders. By that point, I don't think they thought about us much at all. The signals were everywhere. Mad Lads Twitter stopped posting. Armani became active on Backpack Discord and went silent on Lads Discord. His language shifted from "our community" to "Mad Lads are not our product." When KOLs posted hit pieces on Backpack, who was in the replies defending him every single time? Lads holders. Always. Someone slid into my DMs, an ex-Backpack employee. Said simply: "Lads will not get an airdrop." I dismissed it. We all did. We thought Armani was filtering out farmers. The real ones would be taken care of. He values loyalty, right? We chose to believe that. When people close to the team started posting about "all the airdrops Lads already received," we read between the lines. The message underneath was obvious: you already ate, stop asking. But we held on. When Armani posted "NFTs might be dead but Lads are just getting started" we took it as confirmation. He still sees us. He didn't. Then the snapshot. The tokenomics. The number that made the whole community go silent. One percent. Not for bots. Not for farmers. For the people who had been there from the beginning. Who defended him publicly. Who absorbed trading losses to generate volume for his exchange. One percent for the backbone. The response when the community asked why? Simple. Cold. You already ate. Then came yesterday, one day after the TGE. As community managers have now confirmed, newly traded Mad Lads will no longer receive VIP status on Backpack. If you held before, you are grandfathered in. But anyone buying today gets nothing. No utility. No benefit. No connection to the exchange we spent years supporting. He waited until after the airdrop to quietly close the door. No announcement. No explanation. Just policy. That is not an oversight. That is housekeeping. The community served its purpose, the token launched, and the last remaining thread was cut the very next day. Here is what I believe now. Armani got lucky. He got lucky that Tristan was brilliant at building community culture from the ground up. He inherited loyalty that most founders spend years trying to manufacture. And instead of stewarding it, he extracted it. Quietly, gradually, until there was nothing left to take. Mad Lads was never the goal. Backpack was always the goal. Mad Lads was the vehicle that got him there. Once it served its purpose, it got parked. And the tragic part? It didn't even work. The TGE underperformed. The trader community is fractured. Chinese holders are rising up over witch-hunt accusations. He distanced himself from the community that loved him unconditionally and couldn't hold the one he replaced us with. Mad Lads gave Armani everything. Capital, credibility, cover, and community. We were there when nobody else was. We made Backpack look legitimate before Backpack had earned that on its own. WAO. We Are One. We meant it. He never did.

@0xRysk @SOL_mfer MadLads should be rewarded for their own project, not by third parties. We’re talking about what Backpack failed to do.

@SOL_mfer You just going to ignore all the airdrops they got before this?

Mad Lad holders were farmed for 3 years. They contributed in a big way to building Backpack. At the end, they were tossed scraps from the garbage and told to be happy. Loyalty doesn’t pay in Web 3.

@gnp_sui Vou trocar meus tokens por Sui. Será que dá bom?

E VAGABUNDO TÁ LÁ "SERÁ QUE A BACKPACK SAI A $1?" KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

@Pedromto93 Não mano, a regra é perder quando você faz como o da Backpack em que precisa queimar dinheiro para obter pontos. Existem airdrops que você não gasta dinheiro para farmar. Mas não vou mudar seu pensamento nem você o meu. Segue o baile…

@di_ps Também deu para ganhar muito com memecoins no pump.fun, mas você vai fazer disso vida? São excepções e não regra. A regra é perder. Tempo e dinheiro. Pessoal que fica em trade de memecoins e pessoal que fica caçando airdrops tem um QI extremamente baixo.

🚨 BACKPACK: A maior parte das pessoas que farmaram o token da Backpack acabaram por se dar muito mal no airdrop, o que acaba por ser um tapa na cara muito violento, visto que a expectativa era muito alta. Pessoas que dedicam 100% do seu tempo a airdrops NUNCA irão prosperar. Eu repito: NUNCA irão prosperar. Entenda: Na maioria das vezes, quem ganha um valor significativo nesses airdrops é o youtuber/influenciador que você segue, pois ele envia seu referral para a comunidade e ganha pontos em cima de toda a comunidade. Para ele é um negócio INCRÍVEL. Mas para o povo, o negócio é extremamente ruim. Mesmo que, em algumas vezes, ele ganhe algum dinheiro. Por quê? É muito simples de entender: Ir atrás de airdrop é o chamariz do "dinheiro fácil". Com pouco capital e dedicando algum tempo, a ideia de conseguir um bom airdrop. Essa mentalidade é de quem NUNCA irá prosperar. Tempo é o seu maior ativo, se você desperdiça seu tempo para caçar airdrop, meu amigo, você nunca irá alcançar a riqueza. Você está viciado em dinheiro fácil. Invista o seu tempo no que realmente pode fazer você alcançar a riqueza extrema. Se você ainda não sabe o que realmente pode te dar riqueza extrema no mercado, você ainda não entendeu nada.

@thaysilvarf Se por na vasilha antes de por no liquidificador fica mais saboroso? 😅🤣

Muito bom deve ficar 🤤 -dicasdamarinanutri

@Jota_Ve69 Holders de Lads ficaram meio decepcionados.

Aqui todo mundo era feliz 😂😂😂

Solana is clearing $15B+ in DEX volume weekly. Yet 99% of the tokens traded never saw a lending market, gated by oracle dependencies, permissioned listings and shared protocol risk. We broke those gates.

@defiremora BP, BP, BP… não se fala em outra coisa.

E VAGABUNDO TÁ LÁ “Será que Backpack sai a 1B FDV?”

@mango_ @omnipair @bulktrade @_gammafi @_lumeapp Cool

@Quem_e_Satoshi Me too

Eles fazem tokens que você não consegue vender, apenas comprar, é só o criador consegue efetivamente negociar. Daí ele deposita um pequeno valor numa pool com pouca liquidez e isso faz o preço subir. Aí os desavisados acham que tem valor e vão no link descrito no nome do token e são drenados.

@LucasCrypto01 Como esse scam funciona? Como eles depositam 7k$ e você não consegue simplesmente fazer o swap?

Abrir minha carteira principal agora e me deparei com esse token la. R$41,411 Alguem sabe alguma coisa sobre ele? Não mexerei nisso até que eu saiba a fonte, e mesmo assim não mexerei.... Cheiro de Scam drenador de fundos. Hoje no meu canal vou postar um video sobre os principais golpes que drenam os fundos da nossa wallet.
