Monad

Token Overview

What Is Monad?

Imagine a blockchain that’s fast, decentralized, and fully Ethereum-compatible no trade-offs.
Meet Monad: a next-gen Layer 1 that redefines performance.

Backed by $225M in funding from Paradigm, Dragonfly, Shima Capital, and Electric Capital, Monad isn’t just another L1  it’s a performance machine.

With up to 10,000 transactions per second, 1-second block times, and the ability to run on consumer-grade hardware, Monad empowers true decentralization at scale.

In a world where speed often sacrifices decentralization, Monad proves you can have both.

Want to get ahead of the curve? The Monad Public Testnet is live and open giving you a risk-free chance to explore the ecosystem before mainnet goes live.

Why it matters: Monad is the most performant EVM-compatible chain fully Ethereum bytecode-compatible but built from the ground up for speed, affordability, and usability.

Whether you're a developer deploying contracts or a user swapping tokens and minting NFTs, your activity helps shape the future of this ecosystem.
