Speed without sacrifice. Welcome to Monad.

The Monad protocol delivers full EVM compatibility with breakthrough performance, true decentralization, production-grade security, and exceptional throughput.

Say goodbye to the blockchain trilemma forever.

SCROLL

The L1 Blockchain with Limitless Potential

100% EVM-Compatible

Use the existing EVM ecosystem to your advantage.

0

Transactions per second

Incredibly fast transaction speeds create a seamless user experience.

1,000

Near zero gas fees

Allows for extreme scalability for the most demanding apps.

Low hardware requirements

MonadDB allows you to store most of the state on SSD instead of RAM. This significantly reduces RAM requirements and reduces the cost of running a node— creating a clear path to scalable decentralization.

Reinventing the Layer 1 Blockchain

Monad ushers in a new paradigm of blockchain technology. Rebuilt from the ground up to be the most efficient chain in the world all while being 100% EVM compatible.

Work and play with what you've got.

With Monad, developers, users, and researchers can reuse the wealth of existing applications, libraries, addresses and applied cryptography research that have all been built for the EVM.

Extreme Scalability

Take advantage of 10,000 TPS, 1s block times, 1s single-slot finality and near zero gas fees for extreme scalability while maintaining your existing Solidity codebase.

Scalable Decentralization

Monad's low hardware requirements allow consumer-grade hardware to sufficiently run nodes— creating a clear path to decentralization.

Redesigning the EVM

Monad is a redesign of both the consensus and execution systems of Ethereum that preserves compatibility for EVM smart contracts and Ethereums RPC API.

Optimistic Parallel Execution

Monad employs optimistic parallel execution, executing transactions in parallel before previous ones are completed⁠. Results are committed in the original order and checked against the current state to ensure accuracy.

State access with MonadDB

A custom database for storing blockchain state, using Patricia Trie data structure, both on-disk and in-memory— reducing hardware requirements.

Asynchronous Execution

Execution is decoupled from consensus, allowing single-shard blockchain to scale to millions of users.

Single-slot Finality

A high-performance POS consensus mechanism with 1s block times on MonadDB.
