Mad Lads

Mad Lads is a 10,000-piece NFT collection on Solana created by the Backpack team, launched in April 2023 as the first xNFT collection with executable functionality within the Backpack wallet. The project is celebrated for its bold, anime-inspired art style and has become a cultural icon of Solana, known for pioneering bot-resistant minting, consistent airdrops to holders, and deep integration with Backpack's wallet and exchange. The community is widely regarded as one of the strongest and most engaged in Web3, characterized by genuine support, loyalty through market downturns, and a builder-focused ethos that extends beyond NFTs into real utility and partnerships across the ecosystem.
