About Backpack

The xNFT wallet for Solana power users

Backpack was created by Coral (co-founded by Armani Ferrante) and introduced the concept of xNFTs — executable NFTs that contain mini-apps running directly inside the wallet. It quickly became the wallet of choice for Solana developers, NFT collectors, and Web3 power users.

Backpack has since expanded to support Ethereum and Base via WalletConnect, making it a dual-chain wallet. Users are highly crypto-native, comfortable with USDC payments, and actively looking for professional ways to send and receive money outside of centralized exchanges.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Backpack wallet?

Backpack is a self-custody crypto wallet created by Coral, a Solana-focused company. It's best known for supporting xNFTs (executable NFTs — apps that run inside the wallet) and has expanded to support both Solana and Ethereum/Base. Popular with Solana power users, NFT collectors, and Web3-native developers.

Does Backpack support WalletConnect?

Yes — Backpack implements WalletConnect for EVM chain payments (Ethereum, Base, Polygon). For Solana payments, Backpack implements the Solana Wallet Standard. Both are supported by PayRequest — the checkout auto-detects which standard Backpack is using based on the connected chain.

Which networks can Backpack pay on?

Solana (native) and EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum) via WalletConnect. For PayRequest payments, USDC on Solana (fastest: <1 second, ~$0.00025 gas) or USDC on Base (2 seconds, <$0.01 gas) are recommended. Backpack users on Solana can pay directly; EVM users pay via WalletConnect.

What is an xNFT and how does it relate to payments?

xNFTs are NFTs that contain executable code — mini-apps that run inside Backpack wallet. While PayRequest doesn't use xNFTs, Backpack's xNFT audience is deeply Web3-native and actively uses USDC for payments, tips, and subscriptions. They're the ideal crypto-payment audience.

What does PayRequest charge for Backpack payments?

2% per successful payment, capped at €25 per transaction. Solana gas (~$0.00025) or Base gas (<$0.01) is paid by the customer. No monthly fee, no setup cost.

How do I set up Solana payments for Backpack users?

Connect your Solana wallet in PayRequest Provider Settings (Settings → Provider Settings → Solana). Any Solana wallet works for the receiving address — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or Solflare. Once connected, your payment links automatically offer Solana USDC. Backpack users connect their wallet in the checkout and pay in one tap.
