Monad is a new approach to blockchain scaling.
The goal is simple: make the decentralized future a reality.

By optimizing every layer of the stack, Monad achieves 10,000 transactions per second of throughput, with 1 second block times and single slot finality. All while maintaining full EVM bytecode equivalence.

This is achieved without compromising on decentralization. Hardware for a node costs $1000. The validator set will start at hundreds of nodes and eventually include thousands of nodes, fully geographically distributed.
This is made possible by the past 3 years of novel engineering work. Four key innovations enable this performance: parallel execution, asynchronous execution, a custom state database, and a new consensus mechanism.
