Monad is a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain that has successfully parallelized the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to achieve a target throughput of 10,000 TPS and sub-second finality. This innovation, driven by architectural improvements like Optimistic Parallel Execution and the MonadBFT consensus, allows Monad to unlock a new era of EVM performance. The network maintains full EVM compatibility, offering a seamless transition for developers and users. With its native MON token now live, strong institutional backing, and the launch of the Monad Momentum incentive program, Monad is positioned to be a leading infrastructure layer for demanding decentralized applications like HFT and real-time gaming.
