Cookies Policy
Introduction
This cookie policy (this “Cookie Policy”) explains how Monad Labs uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at www.monad.xyz (the “Websites”). This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights with respect to the use of these technologies. In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. For more details on how we process your personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their website function, work more efficiently, or provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Monad Labs) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies." Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Websites (e.g., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer or device when it visits the website in question.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to understand the interests of our website visitors and users to enhance the user experience on our Sites. Third parties serve cookies through our Sites for our own advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below. The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Sites and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Sites you visit).
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites or opened an email from us. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns to our Sites, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to improve Site performance or our Services overall, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functionality.

Function and Purpose
Google Analytics is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with the Websites (e.g., pages visited, interactions with the Websites and clicks, etc.). This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our Websites. Specifically for frontends and applications, we use Google Analytics tools to track aggregated information including number of users visiting our Websites and aggregated device information across users about types of browsers used, browser versions, operating systems and versions, and device types (e.g., mobile, tablet, desktop). Google Analytics also provides location data such as country and region across users on an aggregate basis.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Monad truly 100% EVM-compatible without code changes?
Yes! The Monad blockchain is 100% EVM compatible at the bytecode level — meaning contracts from ETH mainnet, or other fully EVM compatible networks will work out-of-the-box without requiring any code changes.
Simply deploy your EVM smart contracts on the Monad blockchain to experience game-changing cost reduction and performance.
How is MonadDB different from other databases?
MonadDb is the world’s first database purpose-built for the EVM. The EVM requires data to be stored in a special cryptographic data structure, known as a Merkel Patricia Trie (MPT), which allows for succinct verification of blockchain data.
MonadDb leverages the latest advancements in Linux kernel technology to support parallel state access, greatly reducing the overhead of database access and allowing system resources to be used elsewhere during parallel execution.
In contrast, off-the-shelf databases are largely suboptimal for storing MPT data, which may result in applications downloading significantly more data for verification, or otherwise pose significant challenges to blockchain scalability.
In what language is the Monad client developed?
The Monad client is built with a modular software architecture, separating the tasks of consensus and execution between two software modules: the consensus client and execution client respectively.
The consensus client is written in Rust which is a memory-safe language that allows for low-level optimizations. The execution client is written in C/C++, well-established and battle-tested languages for developing low-level system critical code.
Why is the Monad blockchain developed as a L1?
The Monad network is a full stack solution for developers, allowing access to a highly composable ecosystem without compromising on real-time censorship resistance.
While L2 solutions may offer one way to compress data stored on the base layer, the Monad blockchain is a scalable base layer for the EVM itself at it's most fundamental layer.
A highly-performant base layer gives application developers the best of both worlds, with a high degree of composability and real-time censorship resistance in the name of scalability.
