Blockchain technology has opened up a world of possibilities for digital assets and ownership. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are one such application of blockchain technology that have captured the attention of the world. With NFTs, creators can tokenise their work, giving them proof of ownership and a unique identifier on the blockchain. 

However, developers at Coral have taken NFTs a step further with their innovative xNFTs. The idea of executable NFTs represents ownership rights over the execution of tokenised computer code, allowing for the launch of applications in a decentralised manner. 

With the creation of the Backpack wallet, Coral has provided a platform that simplifies the process of launching multiple types of apps in one place. 

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the world of xNFTs and the Backpack wallet, exploring their features, applications, and potential impact on the future of blockchain technology.

What are Mad Lads?

Mad Lads NFT collection is an upcoming project created by the Coral team. The collection features unique artwork inspired by 1930s British-American gangsters and is centered around the emotion of madness. Armani Ferrante, one of the creators, said that the artwork was designed to reflect the idea of building crazy things that change the world.

This project will be a PFP (profile picture) collection and will be available on the Solana blockchain soon. Although the collection won't have any immediate utility, the team behind it intends to build a strong community linked heavily to what's being created within the Backpack protocol. The team and founders are focused on creating a brand and getting it in front of as many people as possible.

The Mad Lads NFT collection will have a supply of 10,000 and will be minted inside of Backpack, the Solana-based wallet and application management platform built for xNFTs. The exact mint price and date are still to be determined, but it has been confirmed that there will be a fair public mint phase without bots. This means that everyone will have an equal chance to obtain these unique NFTs without having to compete against bots.

Why Backpack matters?

Backpack is an innovative wallet and application management platform built for the Solana blockchain, and it plays a crucial role in the Mad Lads project. The Backpack wallet is where the Mad Lads NFTs will be minted and managed, and it is also the platform that enables the creation of executable NFTs (xNFTs).

An xNFT is a new token standard built on the Solana blockchain that is essentially an executable tokenised code that represents ownership rights over its use. What makes xNFTs unique is that they can be used as platforms for operable web3 applications, allowing users to access their digital assets without depending on third-party software.

Using the Backpack protocol to mint Mad Lads NFTs is not only easy but also secure. With traditional NFT minting methods, users often have to connect their wallet to a third-party website, which can create security risks. However, with Backpack, all NFT minting happens directly within the protocol, eliminating the need to connect your wallet to any external website. This means that you can mint your Mad Lads NFTs with confidence, knowing that your assets are secure.

Moreover, the Backpack protocol provides a user-friendly interface that simplifies the NFT minting process. Everything is integrated into one platform, making it easier for users to manage their NFT collections. The protocol provides a seamless user experience that enhances the overall user experience.

Join the Mad Lads and Get Your Backpack Ready for the Future of NFTs!

Mad Lads and Backpack are paving the way for the future of NFTs and Web3 applications. The Mad Lads project is an exciting new NFT collection with a unique theme and artistic style, and the whitelist is still open for anyone who wants to get involved. 

Meanwhile, the Backpack protocol enables the creation and management of xNFTs, making it easier for developers to build decentralized applications that can be executed directly within a user's wallet.

By combining these two innovations, the Coral team is building a powerful ecosystem that has the potential to revolutionise the way we think about NFTs and Web3 applications. The Mad Lads collection is just the beginning, and with the support of the community, there is no limit to what can be achieved.
