The " Fock It " Revolution: How Mad Lads Turned Madness into Mastery.
Created by @armaniferrante and the Coral team, Mad Lads is a 10,000 piece xNFT collection that reignited Solana’s NFT scene. Built around @Backpack, it introduced executable NFT assets that act like apps inside your wallet, unlocking chats, mints, and rewards.
During mint, after a major DDoS and bot attack, Ferrante’s team struck back with a honeypot trap. A fake mint that drained bots of $250K+ $SOL before refunding it. The stunt became legendary, turning chaos into one of Web3’s smartest plays.
That moment cemented @MadLads identity:
■“WAO” (We Are One) : unity over hype.
■“Fock it” : boldness in the face of pressure.
■Brand evangelism : holders pushing Backpack’s vision.
Today, Backpack has grown into a licensed multi chain CEX with 24h audited reserves, SEC registered equities, and $3B+ in daily volume.
Mad Lads built the culture. Backpack built the rails. Together, they turned madness into mastery.
