Monad is a high-performance, Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 capable of processing up to 10,000 transactions per second, designed for scale without sacrificing decentralization. To support rapid growth and global developer adoption of Monad testnet, Quicknode provisioned dedicated, low-latency RPC endpoints on its auto-scaling, multi-cloud network. This integration delivered enterprise-grade reliability (99.99% SLA), transparent scaling, and a seamless developer experience via SDKs, guides, and 24/7 support, empowering teams to build and ship Monad-powered dApps in minutes.
Challenges
Massive throughput requirements
Monad’s target of 10,000 TPS and sustained builder activity generated billions of RPC calls, necessitating an infrastructure that scales linearly without bottlenecks.
Global low-latency access:
Developers around the world needed sub-100 ms response times from endpoints, even under peak load, to ensure smooth UX for end-users.
Enterprise-grade reliability
Achieving “always-on” availability with minimal maintenance windows was critical to support production dApps and institutional use cases.
Simplified integration
Providing REST/WebSocket RPC, plus first-class SDK support across JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and more, was essential to reduce onboarding friction.
Developer tooling & testnets
Builders required easy access to testnet Monad faucets, debug APIs, and real-time monitoring to iterate quickly.
Solutions
Dedicated, globally distributed RPC endpoints
Quicknode spun up optimized Monad testnet nodes in multiple regions, automatically routing requests to the nearest healthy endpoint for lowest latency.
Auto-scaling, multi-cloud infrastructure
Leveraging Quicknode’s resilient network, capacity scales elastically with traffic, with built-in failover to maintain 99.99% uptime SLAs across all deployments.
Comprehensive SDKs & docs
Quicknode’s SDK and code examples (cURL, JS, Python, Ruby, Web3-libs) allowed teams to integrate Monad testnet RPC in minutes, with minimal boilerplate.
Enterprise support & SLAs
24/7, globally distributed support teams (sub-15 min critical response) and custom SLAs ensured any issues were addressed immediately.
Results
Over 40 Billion Requests processed per month for Monad testnet.
High Reliability
Quicknode’s globally distributed infrastructure delivered 99.99% uptime from day one, ensuring uninterrupted access for developers and end-users.
Dedicated support
24/7 enterprise support with sub-15 min critical-issue SLAs drove faster incident resolution and higher developer satisfaction.
"Thanks to Quicknode’s dedicated Monad endpoints and 24/7 support, testnet now serves billions of calls without worrying about node maintenance or scaling headaches."
