Reinventing Layer 1
Monad rebuilds blockchain fundamentals for efficiency while maintaining EVM compatibility:
- Reuse Existing Tools: Deploy existing EVM smart contracts without modifications.
- Extreme Scalability: Benefit from 0.5s block times and 10,000 TPS.
- Decentralization: Consumer-grade hardware can run nodes.
Redesigning the EVM
Monad optimizes Ethereum’s execution and consensus layers:
- Optimistic Parallel Execution: Processes transactions concurrently.
- MonadDB: A custom database using Patricia Tries to minimize hardware needs.
- Asynchronous Execution: Decouples consensus from execution for scalability.
Empowering Innovators
Monad Labs supports builders through:
- Monad Madness: A $1M global pitch competition (HK, April 2025).
- EVM/Accathon: A rigorous hackathon (ETHDenver 2025).
- Mach Accelerator: Mentorship and resources for startups.
FAQs
