We are proud to support Monad, a new Layer 1 blockchain designed to deliver Ethereum compatibility at unprecedented scale and speed. Monad shares our vision for creating blockchain infrastructure that is both fast and reliable enough to power the next generation of decentralized applications. Building on our successful testnet integration, where we scaled to handle over 40 billion monthly requests and achieved 25,000 average RPS, this collaboration combines Monad's breakthrough parallel execution technology with our enterprise-grade infrastructure, providing developers with the performance they need to build consumer-scale applications.

Supporting Monad is part of our broader mission to help next-generation chains bring real performance to builders. Monad joins more than 80 chains supported on our platform, extending our focus on high-performance L1s designed for real consumer scale.

About Monad

Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that achieves 10,000 transactions per second with 400-ms block times and instant finality. By introducing parallel execution to the EVM, Monad dramatically increases throughput while maintaining complete compatibility with existing Ethereum tools and smart contracts.

Key Features:

• Parallel Execution Process thousands of transactions simultaneously instead of sequentially, dramatically improving throughput

• EVM Compatibility Deploy existing Solidity contracts and use familiar Ethereum development frameworks without modification

• 400-ms Block Times Near-instant transaction confirmation for responsive user experiences

• Optimistic Processing Execute transactions optimistically and resolve conflicts efficiently to maximize performance

• MonadBFT Consensus High-performance consensus mechanism designed specifically for parallel execution environments

Monad is designed for applications that require both scalability and compatibility. DeFi protocols requiring high-frequency trading, gaming applications with thousands of concurrent users, and consumer applications expecting instant feedback can all run efficiently on Monad using the same tools developers already know.
