Announcing Open: the inaugural Monad summit Right before Token2049 on October 6th in Singapore 🇸🇬 Register here: luma.com/open-2026

Which feature should Monad add?

Check out our latest cryptography paper, Batched and Weighted Threshold Encryption with Silent Setup. Building on BTX, this scheme supports many desirable properties of an encrypted mempool: ⚡ Weighted decryption (ideal for Proof-of-Stake blockchains) ⚡ Silent setup (key generation no longer requires interaction between parties) ⚡ Batch and index independence (more user friendly and fewer constraints on decryption) We’re excited about the future of encrypted mempools!

Revealing some of the speakers at Open Come hear from the people building Monad's economy on October 6th in Singapore open.monad.xyz

Crypto gives developers superpowers - seamless payment acceptance and instant network effects. And while AI has made crypto development easier, one of the pain points is still at the data layer - fundamentally, your agent still needs data from transactions, logs, etc. Right now the query patterns are messy and incur a ton of waste. As one simple example, you might need data from logs, but you need one field from the transaction itself, so you pull a lot of data for both, filter them client-side, and join them. MIP-16 is @category_xyz and @monad 's attempt to address longstanding problems in the RPC data interface by adding a new `eth_query` family of methods that allow for - Filtering - Relations (joins) - Field selection (only request what you need) - Better pagination Filtering: The eth_getLogs method supports log filtering, but there is no way to filter transactions or traces. To query all transactions sent to a specific address, the user must fetch entire blocks and filter client-side Relations: There is no way to join related objects in a single request. To fetch a set of logs and related transaction inputs, the user must make N+1 RPC requests (one to fetch logs, then one per unique transaction) Field selection: Every RPC method returns a fixed object schema. Users that only need block number and timestamp have no choice but to fetch large unrelated fields like logsBloom, only to immediately discard them Pagination: The eth_getLogs pagination design causes frequent timeouts and client-side workarounds. The RPC methods for blocks, transactions, and traces don't support range queries at all We're excited to propose and ship this. We believe in repeatedly and iteratively giving developers better tools. Excellent effort from @typedarray @kyscott18 @andrthesnek and Jay Miller to make this happen

Crystal brings a fully onchain orderbook and launchpad to Monad

We've fully integrated a new chain for the first time since launch: Monad has now joined the Herd! This means full support across our explorer, onchain actions (hal), and doubleclick graphs - both in app and over mcp/cli/sdk!

Dirol keeps on shipping 🚢

Agora has received preliminary conditional approval from the OCC to organize as a national trust bank. A defining early milestone on the path to a full charter for Agora and regulated stablecoin infrastructure. agora.finance/blog/occ-condi…

A public ledger doesn't need to be an open book Institutions that need privacy currently have one option: move activity into closed systems, sacrificing liquidity and composability At Open, @category_xyz will unveil a new way to keep sensitive activity private on Monad
