Odaily Planet Daily reports that Armani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack, stated that users who stake their upcoming tokens for at least one year will have the right to exchange them for a fixed proportion of Backpack’s equity. The company has reserved 20% of its equity for this plan. Armani Ferrante pointed out that this move aims to improve the existing token model, addressing the issues of most projects relying solely on utility to support token value and lacking long-term decentralization incentives. Currently, Backpack is negotiating funding at a $1 billion valuation, aiming to raise $50 million. Its total token supply is 1 billion, with the initial distribution opening 25% of the supply to points program participants and Mad Lads holders. Additionally, the token allocation plan for the team and investors has been deposited into the company’s treasury, with a lock-up period of at least one year after the IPO. Team members will mainly be incentivized through holding company equity.
