Mad Lads Viet Nam is the single biggest regional community with 200+ builders, artists and crypto enthusiasts who avidly support Mad Lads, Backpack and the Solana ecosystem.
Founders of the community are focused on building public goods blockchain solutions for the people of Vietnam and distributing crypto content in their native language.
The community has been an instrumental force in developing the expanded language channels for the Mad News, Vietnamese was the first to launch.
What made you launch a specific regional subcommunity like Mad Lads Viet Nam? 🇻🇳
MLVN: The story started with Han Jay who joined crypto back in 2017, an Ethereum-only maxi until being onboarded in Solana by Superteam Vietnam.
MLVN: Builders build passionately, sometimes toxic maximalists, but most of the time [with an] open building spirit that would bring blockchain to the world.
[He] wanted to do something to contribute to the growth of the Solana ecosystem.
Why bet on Mad Lads? 🎫
MLVN: Han Jay acquired his Mad Lads back in July. From that point on, he felt the community culture Mad Lads community had created, and wanted to be a part of the community.
It’s his bet on Solana by betting on the top-notch builders. He believes that Mad Lads & Backpack will be growing along with the growth of Solana.
He likes Mad Lads, owns Mad Lads and wants to do something to support his bag. He wants to spread Mad Lads image in local country [of] Vietnam so that folks can understand Mad Lads vision more.
MLVN: As joining since 2017 and having witnessed many winning cases, he understands how localized strategies and executions can bring benefits to global projects in terms of exposure and user onboarding.
Mad Lads Viet Nam activities focus exactly on [exposure and user onboarding] for the Mad Lads & Backpack suite of products:
Making news, and content in local language to help Vietnamese folks know about and understand Mad Lads
Spread the word about the newest Mad Lads & Backpack initiatives to local folks
Building public goods for the Mad Lads community in Vietnam and global
MLVN: Mad Lads Viet Nam is only more than 3 months old but we’re obtaining pretty good metrics. We saw a 53% increase in Twitter post impressions this November.
We got more than 100 followers after a month of launch and now Lads Gang Vietnam has over 200 members, and we believe there are more.
Some hold 1 Lad and some own even 10 Lads. So proud!
What is the Mad Lads Vietnam connection to Vietnam Creator DAO and XomNFT? 🤝
MLVN: Mad Lads Viet Nam is operated by VCD [Vietnam Creator DAO] & XomNFT team.
As for VCD, it’s the name of the DAO founded by Han Jay after winning the grant with the same name from Superteam.
The purpose of VCD is to onboard potential NFT founders to Solana, teach them Solana NFT tech and how to launch an NFT collection on Solana and distribute the collection to the right audience.
MLVN: Han Jay created Mad Lads Viet Nam just a continuing effort to support Solana in general and support Mad Lads & Backpack, the project we think will drive the growth of Solana, in particular.
What XomNFT does is making public goods for NFT communities in Vietnam and the global market. XomNFT is big on Solana and many XomNFT members are also Mad Lads strong holders.
XomNFT also supported a number of Solana NFT launches such as Region79 back in June 2023.
MLVN: XomNFT and Mad Lads Viet Nam will collaborate in cross-spreading the word about the newest Mad Lads & Backpack things.
XomNFT is one of the most high-quality NFT researching and community brands in Vietnam, so the collaboration in spreading the content will provide legitimacy for Mad Lads Vietnam content and also help distribute more content to the right audience in Vietnam who are truly NFT people.
MLVN: VCD onboards NFT builders into Solana. As Mad Lads Vietnam becomes a trusted Solana news source in Vietnam, it can help VCD to recruit potential NFT founders in Vietnam.
And VCD believes that they can inspire founders with a successful case in the NFT world like Mad Lads.
Are you meeting up offline? 🥂
MLVN: Mad Lads Vietnam has online meetups as well. Every Friday at 9 pm GMT+7, we have a special spot in XomNFT's weekly spaces (XOM TALK).
We join and update all the Mad Lads and Backpack weekly things. Spaces usually witness over 100 listeners each.
MLVN: We had only one offline meetup in early November this year, and we had a blast in an OG café in Hanoi named Puku.
Give it a try if you visit Vietnam one day, you will like it.
Do you have any meetups planned in 2024? 📅
MLVN: Definitely. Lads Gang Vietnam looks forward to meeting more members in real life, not only meetup in Hanoi, but we also plan to catch up with the gang in Saigon, Dalat, etc.
There's a large number of Lads living there in the South of Vietnam.
The most ideal scenario would be having monthly meetups.
MLVN: We also plan to make more public goods for Vietnam as well as the global community. One of our favorite products is a dashboard tracking Mad Lads Collection.
We're so excited to hold a side event at Breakpoint 2024. Breakpoint is a high-value event for crypto-natives, especially Solana maxis.
We heard that next year event will be in Singapore, and it's truly an incredible chance for us to join this huge crypto party.
