Backpack CEO: Coin Issuance Progressing Rapidly
July 13th. In response to the post by community KOL @hebi555 about "It may take a long time for BP to issue coins, so everyone be prepared for a marathon.", Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante replied, saying, "This is an exaggeration. Our progress is very fast. It is even faster than what you imagine."
Previously, Armani Ferrante had stated, "I can't provide an exact answer. Based on other successful token programs, it could be at most a year (we have 10 weeks in a quarter). We will flexibly adjust according to the progress of regulations. It may be shorter or a little longer, but I expect it not to exceed a year. However, I don't want to make any guarantees because these processes are both long and complex, involving many different parties."
