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.

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.
