Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain engineered to resolve the persistent scalability issues of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem, achieving true hyperscaling while maintaining complete EVM compatibility. 

Monad’s development is spearheaded by Monad Labs, co-founded in 2022 by former Jump Trading executives Keone Hon (CEO), Eunice Giarta (COO), and James Hunsaker (CTO), leveraging their deep expertise in low-latency distributed systems. The company has secured strong institutional backing, raising over $248 million, including a landmark $225 million Series A round led by Paradigm, which conferred a post-money valuation of $3 billion. The Monad Foundation, an independent entity, is responsible for steering the protocol toward progressive decentralization, supporting open-source development, and driving ecosystem adoption.

about-monad

Deploy Solidity/Vyper without rewrites. Monad is bytecode‑compatible with the EVM (Cancun opcodes supported), geth‑compatible JSON‑RPC, and WebSockets. Max contract size is increased to 128 KB to support more complex apps.

Build on Monad

DIN provides geo‑distributed providers, automatic failover, and public, on‑chain accountability via Watchers (AVS on EigenLayer) that verify freshness, validity, and availability of responses.

Scale with Infura + DIN

Monad’s mission: *power a new world economy* through best‑in‑class tech, a great developer experience, and global reach. Programs like Monad Madness, the Founder Residency, and Mach Accelerator support teams from idea to launch.

Run existing bytecode, use standard JSON‑RPC and WebSockets, and keep your Ethereum tooling (Hardhat, Foundry, Ethers/Web3). Cancun features (TSTORE/TLOAD/MCOPY) are supported, and larger contract limits unlock new patterns.

100% EVM Compatibility, No Rewrites

Pipelined BFT consensus targets 400 ms blocks with two‑round finality (~800 ms), designed to resist tail forks while scaling to 150–200 validators on commodity hardware.

MonadBFT — Sub‑Second Finality

icon-bolt

Monad's RPC endpoints are served by DIN node providers from day one. Developers benefit from geo-distributed nodes, automatic failover, and load balancing.

Decentralized RPC via DIN

Monad combines an EVM‑native developer experience with a pipelined, parallel execution architecture and a BFT consensus tuned for sub‑second finality

High‑Performance Infrastructure for EVM DeFi & Real‑Time Apps

infura+monad

To begin building and testing, developers can access resources for the Monad Testnet via the Faucet and Testnet Explorer

Sign up for an Infura account (MetaMask Developer Dashboard)

The Monad network is 100% EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy existing smart contracts and applications with no code changes. Developers can use familiar Ethereum toolchains and the standard JSON-RPC protocol to interact with the network.

Deploy like Ethereum: same toolchains, same JSON‑RPC. Use testnet explorers and faucet to iterate quickly.

The official documentation and guides are hosted by the Monad Foundation and provide quickstart information for building smart contracts and applications.
