Mad Lads NFT Mint Overwhelmed by Demand, Causing Delays and Hype Surge
The launch of the Mad Lads NFT collection on the Backpack-powered Solana xNFT platform saw such overwhelming demand that it temporarily broke infrastructure and delayed the mint. The unexpected surge in traffic caused Backpack to throttle access to its app, with some users reporting failed transactions or being unable to log in.
Developed by Coral, the same team behind Backpack and xNFT technology, Mad Lads is the flagship collection for the platform. The event not only highlighted the growing interest in next-generation NFT infrastructure but also signaled the strength of Backpack’s community momentum—even amid technical hiccups.
