What is Backpack

Behind the scenes, Backpack takes a page from blockchains – the distributed databases that house cryptocurrency transaction histories – to document its own history as an exchange “back to the beginning of time.” Every transfer and trade gets recorded on a system that is similar to a permissioned blockchain.

Basically, it is a foil against any attempt to cook the books. That kind of thing has only become more important for crypto exchanges amid the fallout of FTX’s magically disappearing customer deposits.

Before the venture funding arrived, Backpack had to make do with a very tight $1.4 million financial leash amassed through last April’s sale of the Mad Lads NFT, which has since become Solana’s top digital collectible.
