The Solana-based NFT collection MadLads has made significant strides in the NFT market, breaking into the top 5 NFT collections by market cap and positioning itself just one market cap flip away from surpassing major collections with the mantra "PUNKS, APES, THEN LADS." This achievement has put Solana NFTs prominently on the map. MadLads, through its association with Backpack wallet, has introduced novel xNFTs allowing for innovative features like Soulbound badges for airdrop tokens in the near future. The collection's trading hub is officially at tensor_hq, which offers a mystery points boost to Lad holders and a 1.25x boost for using the Backpack Wallet. This move was shortly followed by a competing marketplace, MagicEden, rolling out a 50% diamond bonus on the collection. Additionally, MadLads has expanded its reach by inscribing its first Bitcoin Ordinals collection, marking its presence in the top 10 NFT projects with over $110,000,000 in sales. Notably, Backpack Pre Season reached a $1 Billion 24H volume, highlighting the collection's growing market influence.
