Monad

A L1 blockchain aiming to scale the EVM with parallel execution and high throughput (maybe 10K TPS). Backed by Paradigm, it’s drawing strong attention for its technical promise and testnet growth. That said, it’s still early. The mainnet hasn’t launched, and real-world performance is unproven. While the potential is big, so are the expectations, Monad needs to deliver consistently to stand out in a crowded L1 space.

I’m just sharing my opinion. Ethos was built for that, and I don’t just go wherever the wind blows. From day one, I knew Monad wasn’t a project I wanted to engage with. I didn’t, and I think projects that launch with too much hype usually disappoint. I’m not saying Monad failed, but it definitely messed up in including users. Testnet participants got nothing, while those active in Hyperliquid and similar places were rewarded. I just don’t get why projects do that. When Alucard recently joined them, it confirmed my earlier thoughts were right.

one of the most overhyped and useless layer 1 networks with an ecosystem full of novice devs mostly made up of their own ogs who are not trustworthy! maybe if they had launched their network last year w/o delay they could have gotten a decent market share, but right now their most potential is to become another eclipse with higher fdv that's all. the most ret team possible who didn't even give a decent amount of tokens to their own community who put in more than a year of time and effort, but gave a few hundred thousand useless tokens to discord spammers and influencers who everyone said would dump their tokens on day one to be dumped on retailers on day one. the easiest way to be eligible for monad airdrop was creating a fake girl character by a.i or just be a onlyfanz model to get dc roles like cake but you can't run a network with these community we'll see.

3.5 yrs ago, I started researching Monad and even joined one of their Telegram channels I don’t remember the name now, but it wasn’t OG. After a while, I realized this project had a long way to go before launch and it wasn’t right for me because I didn’t have the time and energy, so I left it there. Now I see I made the right decision. In the current situation, Monad has dealt the final blow to the lifeless body of crypto, and with this airdrop allocation, they’re destroying both themselves and dragging crypto several steps down!! The most important thing that brought us all together here was the credibility that crypto enthusiasts bring to this market, and after these scam projects, there’s no credibility left! Damn you for destroying everything just for more money.

MONAD just have a different way of doing their stuffs, from rallying a vast community to tolling out their insane tech which I have experienced first hand. Super excited for this one and personally looking forward to mainnet.

Hope Monad can soon launch their mainnet so we can see if all the big talk can produce a good decentralized layer 1 evm blockchain.

I used to think that high-speed chains had to be technically complex. But Monad changed my mind. It's a full EVM-compatible Layer-1 that achieves ~10,000 TPS, near-instant finality, and still allows deploying old Solidity contracts without modification—just copy and run. Even more impressive is the parallel execution mechanism, along with MonadBFT consensus and optimized storage via MonadDB, which eliminates Ethereum's old bottlenecks. Plus, the recent news of their collaboration with Chainlink to bring oracles (Data Feeds, Data Streams, CCIP) to the testnet helps developers access on-chain data quickly, cheaply, and reliably. Monad is like a breath of fresh air for developers hesitant to deploy on Ethereum due to speed and fees. If you want to see a chain that's "fast, easy to use, and supported by real data," then Monad is getting very close to that.

Monad brings impressive ideas like MonadBFT for fast consensus, RaptorCast for rapid block propagation, and parallel execution to scale beyond Ethereum’s limits; yet while the technical design sounds elegant on paper, the real challenge lies in whether these systems can stay secure, decentralized, and reliable under real-world pressure. It deserves credit for pushing performance and compatibility together, but without a proven track record, it’s fair to stay cautious: speed and novelty are easy to promise, hard to deliver.

Ive been hanging around in some chats in Monad and the people there has an incredible energy. Monad is focus on build a great technology with a greater community. They have rewarded big to their followers
