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.
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.
12
Second block times
1s Single-slot finality
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.
Start building on the most performant EVM-compatible blockchain.
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 Ethereum’s 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.
Build on the fastest EVM-compatible L1 blockchain.
Empowering the Innovators
At Monad Labs, we're committed to helping foster a thriving ecosystem by supporting visionaries and creators who will shape the future. To date, we've launched two key programs to empower Monad Builders.
Mach: Monad Accelerator
Mach is a dedicated accelerator program designed to help new builders bring their startups to life. We provide the tools, mentorship, and resources needed to turn ambitious ideas into successful ventures, propelling the next generation of blockchain innovators forward.
