#KAITO @KaitoAI Hey, guys, BTC has broken through 123000. Today I'm going to share with you a potential project 'the next generation Ethereum killer, a rising star in the crypto world' — Monad! Recently saw their updates on X (@monad_xyz) and I feel this project has something. It might be the next big dark horse in the Layer 1 Blockchain space. Without further ado, let's dive in and see if Monad is worth following! #COOKIE #CryptoNews @cookiedotfun
1. What is Monad?
In simple terms, Monad is a "super enhanced version of Ethereum". Monad is a Layer 1 Blockchain, which means it's a brand new public chain aimed at solving Ethereum's "hard-to-solve" problems: slow speed, high costs, and poor scalability. Everyone knows Ethereum, the pioneer of DeFi, NFT, and GameFi, but its transaction speed (TPS) is only around 10, and the Gas fees are ridiculously high, making it unaffordable for ordinary players.
Monad directly unleashes its power, claiming to achieve 10,000 transactions per second (10,000 TPS), and it produces a block every second, with confirmation speeds that are incredibly fast! Even more impressive is that it is 100% compatible with Ethereum's EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine). What does this mean? It means that smart contracts, DApps, and tools from Ethereum can be directly used without modifying any code, saving developers time and effort. This is simply a boon for project teams looking to "switch jobs" from the Ethereum ecosystem.
In summary: Monad aims to be the "super accelerator" of Ethereum, fast and cheap, while seamlessly connecting to the Ethereum ecosystem. Isn't this the "perfect public chain" that crypto world players dream of?
2. The Hardcore Technology of Monad: Why Is It So Fast?
In the crypto world, what we care most about when looking at projects is whether the technology is solid. The technical highlights of Monad, let me break it down for you, simply put, it has four major "killer features":
Parallel Execution
Ethereum transactions are processed one after another, as slow as a snail's crawl. Monad has directly implemented a "multithreading" mode, allowing transactions to be processed simultaneously, significantly boosting efficiency. Solana achieved high TPS with this trick, and Monad has learned it smartly.
Asynchronous Execution
In simple terms, it means separating the "consensus" and "execution" of transactions so that they do not interfere with each other. It's like eating while scrolling on your phone, doubling your efficiency. Monad uses this trick to make the operation of the Blockchain smoother.
MonadDB: A database built specifically for EVM
Other chains use general databases, which are not very efficient. Monad developed its own database called MonadDB, specifically optimized for EVM, allowing for faster data access and storage, and it can use SSDs instead of RAM, reducing hardware costs. This means that ordinary computers can also run nodes, making decentralization more thorough.
MonadBFT: Efficient Consensus Mechanism
Monad uses an optimized version of the BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus mechanism called MonadBFT, which requires one less round of communication compared to traditional BFT, resulting in faster speeds and lower latency. Blocks are produced in 1 second, with Single-Slot Finality, making transaction confirmations so quick that you might question your existence.
Summary: Monad's technology is like installing a "turbocharger" on Ethereum, maximizing speed, cost, and compatibility. No wonder their updates on X are always boasting about "redefining blockchain performance"!
Three, the ecosystem has already blossomed, and its potential should not be underestimated.
Whether a public chain is strong or not, the ecosystem is key. Monad is still in the testnet phase (the mainnet has not yet launched), but the ecosystem is already thriving. According to information on X and their official website (
Encifher: A privacy engine that allows DApps to seamlessly integrate privacy features without affecting liquidity. The privacy sector in the crypto world has been heating up recently, and this project is definitely worth watching.
Euler: A DeFi lending protocol where any asset can be used as collateral, it's extremely flexible.
FWX: A decentralized leveraged trading platform where any token can be leveraged, allowing retail investors to enjoy the experience.
DRKVRS: A Web3 action RPG game set in a cyberpunk world, featuring innovative gameplay that seems likely to attract a wave of GameFi players.
There is also Monad Madness, a global entrepreneur Pitch competition with a prize pool of up to 1 million USD, and a 60 million USD investment fund waiting to invest in ecological projects. This move clearly shows their intention to spend money to attract attention and draw top teams to build DApps. They also mentioned their Mach accelerator program, which provides resources, mentors, and technical support to new projects, clearly aiming to create an "Ethereum 2.0" ecosystem.
4. Team and Community: Reliable Background, Enthusiastic Atmosphere
The Monad team is also very hardcore, with founders Keone Hon, James Hunsaker, and Eunice Giarta all having backgrounds in high-frequency trading and enterprise systems. These people have worked in fintech and know how to optimize performance, no wonder Monad's technology is so robust. Their updates on X often mention community activities, such as interactions among Monad community members globally, discussions heating up on Discord and Telegram, and developers providing particularly positive feedback. This kind of community atmosphere is definitely a bonus for the project's success.
In addition, Monad has also received funding from several top VCs (the specific amount is not disclosed, but the crypto world knows that projects backed by VCs generally have no shortage of funds). They are also calling out on X: "Join Monad, let's build the future of Blockchain together!" This enthusiasm seems to be aimed at bringing all developers from the crypto world together to do big things.
5. Investment Opportunities: Is it still a good time to get on board?
To be honest, Monad's token (likely called $MONAD, not officially announced yet) hasn't gone live, and the testnet has just opened.
Why do I think Monad has potential?
Technical hardcore: 10,000 TPS + 1 second block time + low cost, crushing Ethereum and most Layer 1/2 chains.
EVM compatible: DApps from the Ethereum ecosystem can be directly migrated, and developers do not need to learn new things from scratch, resulting in low migration costs.
Ecosystem explosion: DeFi, NFT, GameFi, privacy, there are all kinds of tracks, and the number of DApps in the future will definitely be substantial.
Community + Capital: With the support of VC, the community is active, and the developer and user base has been built quite well.
What about the risk?
Mainnet not launched: The testnet looks good, but the performance of the mainnet remains to be seen in practice.
Intense competition: The Layer 1 track is already very competitive, with Solana, Aptos, and Sui all vying for market share, Monad needs to show its true capabilities.
Token economics unknown: There is currently no information on token distribution or total supply; investors need to wait for more details.
Investment Advice: Now is not the time to invest money directly, but you can start to follow. Go to their X account (@monad_xyz) to catch up on the latest updates, join their Discord or Telegram to get familiar, and you might be able to score some testnet airdrops or early rewards. Once the mainnet is launched and the token is released, then take a look at the economic model and market performance, and find a good time to get in.
6. Conclusion: Monad, the next king of Layer 1?
To be honest, Monad excites me a bit. Its technology, ecosystem, team, and community are all online. It feels like a "combination" of Ethereum and Solana, possessing both the ecological advantages of Ethereum and the high performance of Solana. If the mainnet can really deliver on the promise of 10,000 TPS and lower Gas fees, it would definitely be a dark horse in the crypto world.
In the crypto world for 8 years, I've seen too many projects rise and fall. Monad, which has both technology and a community, is really rare. Brothers, hurry up and follow @monad_xyz on X, join their community, and keep an eye on the testnet updates; you might catch the early benefits! If you have any questions, feel free to @bzdxiaoyangX on X to find me, and we can chat together!
