Why Monad Stands Out

100% EVM-Compatible

Leverage existing Solidity tools and libraries seamlessly.

10,000+ Transactions Per Second

Enterprise-grade throughput for seamless dApp experiences.

Near-Zero Gas Fees

Scalability without cost barriers.

1-Second Block Times

Single-slot finality ensures rapid confirmations.

Low Hardware Requirements

MonadDB reduces node operation costs by optimizing SSD storage over RAM—paving the way for decentralized participation.


Reinventing Layer 1 Blockchain Technology

Monad redefines efficiency while preserving EVM compatibility:


Monad’s Technical Innovations

Optimistic Parallel Execution

Transactions execute in parallel, then commit sequentially for accuracy.

MonadDB

A Patricia Trie-based database that minimizes hardware demands.

Asynchronous Execution

Decouples consensus and execution for single-shard scalability.

High-Performance PoS Consensus

1-second block times powered by MonadDB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Monad fully EVM-compatible?

Yes. Deploy Ethereum contracts without code changes.

How does MonadDB differ?

It’s optimized for EVM’s Merkle Patricia Trie, reducing data overhead vs. traditional databases.

Why build Monad as Layer 1?

L1 ensures maximal composability and censorship resistance without L2 compromises.
