Listen in as our Backpack CEO, Armani Ferrante joins Coinage for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of crypto and building a better crypto exchange.

“I think at the time, everybody thought Solana was more or less dead,” Ferrante recalled. “There was a ton of confusion, a ton of misinformation… but if crypto was going to exist, a world computer was going to exist. And if a world computer was going to exist, it was going to be built a lot like Solana.”

‍

That conviction has driven Backpack’s evolution into a multi-faceted crypto platform spanning an exchange, a wallet, and even one of Solana's largest NFT projects, Mad Lads. If that sounds like an odd mix, Ferrante sees it as all part of the same mission: demonstrating the power of decentralized, trust-minimized systems.
