Monad currently offers the following advantages: - High-quality open-source C++/Rust codebase, including numerous HFT-style optimizations and architectural improvements - Publicly audited and clearly documented, prioritizing technology. Transparency - No promises, no unsubstantiated claims - A high-performance system focused on true decentralization, running continuously in testnet with 186 globally distributed validators and 5,000-10,000 transactions per second of throughput - MonadBFT, a cutting-edge consensus mechanism with 400ms block times, 800ms finality, a large, globally distributed validator set, and tail-fork resistance - Asynchronous execution (also supports EIP-7702 via a reserve balance mechanism) - MonadDb for efficient Merkle Trie storage - A native code compiler for commonly used contracts - A connected community of smart, thoughtful crypto-native developers whose influence will continue to grow in the coming years - An ecosystem of promising young entrepreneurs ready to take on challenges - Over $100 million in ecosystem funding prior to mainnet - Supporting founders through programs like DeltaV, Monad Founders in Residency, Monad Madness, and more - Monad Momentum An incentive program focused on efficient user acquisition and repeatable growth cycles, helping decentralized applications attract everyday users. —The North Star for building stronger open-source decentralized systems. But there's still a lot of work to do. Are you excited?
