As liquid staking becomes a core part of DeFi infrastructure, having a reliable and secure wallet is essential. That’s where Backpack Wallet comes in. Built with both security and user experience in mind, Backpack is a self-custodial, multi-chain wallet that allows users to interact with apps and manage digital assets with confidence.
Kintsu is proud to support Backpack as one of the primary wallets for accessing our liquid staking protocol on Monad Testnet. With Backpack, users can seamlessly connect to the Kintsu app and stake MON to receive sMON, the Liquid Staking Token designed for composability, yield, and seamless DeFi integration.
Why Backpack?
Backpack has quickly gained recognition for offering a clean, developer friendly interface without compromising on user protections. Whether you’re staking, trading, or exploring dApps, Backpack offers essential features that make it a top choice for Monad users:
Fully Self-Custodial: Backpack gives you complete control over your assets and keys, no intermediaries, no compromises.
Privacy First: No personal information required to get started. Backpack is built with privacy and decentralization in mind.
Real-Time Scam Protection: Backpack simulates transactions before they’re signed, warning users about malicious contracts and high-risk actions.

24/7 Support: Live customer service ensures you’re never stuck when it matters most.
Accessing Kintsu with Backpack
sMON on Backpack Wallet
Monad users can now connect their Backpack Wallet directly to Kintsu’s dApp to stake MON and mint sMON. While the staking transaction itself happens through Kintsu, Backpack acts as the secure gateway, handling approvals, transactions, and tracking balances with ease.
sMON lets users earn simulated staking yield while maintaining the flexibility to use their staked capital across DeFi. As Monad moves toward native staking, sMON will become the foundation for an ecosystem built around composability, validator governance, and capital efficiency.
Whether you’re new to DeFi or a power user in the Monad ecosystem, Backpack and sMON offer a new standard in staking experience: secure, flexible, and user-first.
Don’t Miss: Backpack Exchange
In addition to its wallet, Backpack also offers a fully regulated centralized exchange Backpack Exchange. Built with the same principles of security, transparency, and user-first design, Backpack Exchange provides deep liquidity, low-latency execution, and a seamless trading experience. As Monad’s ecosystem expands, tools like Backpack Exchange give users the option to move between DeFi and centralized venues without sacrificing performance or control. Whether you’re swapping tokens or managing your staked assets, Backpack’s suite of products ensures you’re covered across the entire trading stack.
Conclusion
Kintsu’s integration with Backpack marks an important step in making liquid staking more secure and accessible. Whether you’re here to stake, explore, or build, the combination of sMON and Backpack Wallet gives you everything you need to participate in the Monad ecosystem with confidence. We’re just getting started.
