Welcome to Monad @1inch 💜

Introducing the Metropolis global hackathon Six weeks to build the next generation of startups on Monad. 4 tracks. Over $250K in prizes for builders. Submissions end October 13th. monad.xyz/metropolis

9 months, 60 million blocks, 100% uptime monad.xyz/blog/monad-network…

explaining monad's edge in 2 minutes simply: it's a highly performant open system why does that matter? that doesn't feel unique! it sounds like a vision for crypto that's been around for 10 years... exactly. allow me to briefly elaborate: corporations don't want to build on a chain that's controlled by a competitor and most don't want to spend the resources to run their own chain neutral blockspace gives everyone fair access - users, startups, corporations... everyone but neutrality is only viable if it's fast enough to scale monad is not the first neutral option, but it's the most performant one an open, neutral and performant settlement layer enables an efficient and productive onchain economy capital markets create liquidity, shared liquidity makes trading, lending, payments, and RWAs useful (see monad in the top 3 chains of RWA usage in DeFi) it is also EVM compatible, which clearly matters EVM remains the dominant smart contract standard and has the most locked capital because monad is EVM, apps from Ethereum and other EVM chains can deploy in a matter of minutes, with minimal code changes and they run much more efficiently on Monad see: Aave, Balancer, Beefy, Curve, Euler, KyberSwap, Morpho, OpenSea, PancakeSwap, Pendle, SushiSwap, Uniswap monad has 300ms block times, a globally distributed set of ~200 validators (currently) that can run on consumer grade hardware and then you have Category Labs founded by HFT veterans from Jump Trading, CL is quickly becoming the premier EVM R&D firm recent research (Cadence + BTX) aims to drastically reduce MEV and solves problems that have stumped the cryptography community for decades (they're winning awards for this research) there is a clear vision for the future of crypto UX and the team is shipping at record pace nobody else is doing this, and the proof is public sooner rather than later, it will become consensus that monad stands alone

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

Blockchain onboarding has been a problem for 10+ years That's why @category_xyz built Mera: a free library that lets users create an account with a passkey in two clicks Available now for any app, on any chain: mera.category.xyz

RT @cryptunez: Monad is now the #10 blockchain by TVL 📈

Today we're launching MOST, an effort to provide AI tokens to indie developers who are consistently shipping open source code. Check it out!

I love seeing people outside the core Monad community on X cautiously optimistic about Monad's future not mindless praise or glazing but more like genuine respect and confidence that the team can actually execute and deliver over the long run

As an English football fan, it’s the inevitability that kills you. Still believed it was coming home. See you in 2 years for Euro 2028, and the latest chapter of “how to never learn your lesson” 🫡

Category Labs is proud to introduce Cadence, our multiple-concurrent-proposers (MCP) consensus protocol that matches the optimal good-case latency of single-leader consensus while supporting arbitrarily short block intervals. When combined with BTX, our design for encrypted mempools, this represents a significant step towards solving the problem of MEV at the protocol level. In nearly every blockchain today, a single party ends up in control of each block: it decides which transactions get in, and can reorder them at will. MCP is the natural fix, but most recent designs pay for it with a separate aggregation phase, adding two extra communication rounds per block. Cadence makes the proposers part of consensus itself. Its fast path finalizes in an optimal three communication rounds, even when proposers are offline. Cadence also offers speculative finality, similar to MonadBFT, after just two rounds, revertible only if a proposer provably equivocated. In a simulation using estimated network delays between Monad mainnet's 200 globally distributed validators, finalization takes 219 ms on average, speculative finality 167 ms. Cadence pushes pipelining to the extreme: each block is proposed and finalized in its own independent consensus instance, without waiting on preceding blocks. The block interval then becomes a protocol parameter that can be arbitrarily small. At our initial target of 100 ms, a transaction waits on average just 50 ms to enter a proposal, and oracle prices, liquidations, and auctions can update every 100 ms. Cadence dynamically throttles the opening of new instances to bound the number of outstanding slots even during periods of network instability. When the network is healthy (under synchrony), a transaction included by an honest proposer can be neither dropped nor deferred (short-term censorship resistance), and no proposer can see the others' proposals in time to react (hiding). We prove both, together with safety and liveness under partial synchrony at the optimal 3f+1 fault bound. The Cadence protocol is modular: each module is simple on its own, and any of them can be swapped out without touching the rest. Cadence also builds on components already being deployed: proposals are disseminated as erasure-coded chunks over Deterministic RaptorCast, now rolling out on Monad, and validators vote on proposal digests, so voting does not wait for the full data to arrive.

We sat down for the first time with @ethereumJoseph, Founder and CEO of Consensys and Co-Founder of Ethereum, and @KeoneHD, Co-Founder and GM of Monad Foundation. A conversation about where the future of money is headed, AI, and the new @metamask Money Account. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:46 What Joe thought the internet would do to money 7:00 Why a 16-year-old skips the bank entirely 12:52 Has crypto only helped people already doing fine? 15:47 How AI changed the way they build 19:47 Is traditional finance moving onto crypto, or is crypto redefining it? 22:47 What do TradFi institutions actually want? 26:51 What is the MetaMask Money Account? 29:43 Who is it for? 30:14 What does it take at the chain level? 31:48 Why did MetaMask chose Monad? 33:37 When will stablecoins go mainstream? 38:09 AI agents that move money on their own 43:35 The story that says it all

This is Monad Foundation

MIP-12 - reduce Monad block times by decreasing the vote pacing from 400ms to 300ms - has been published by @category_xyz The vote pacing determines the min block time. Reducing it allows the network to proceed faster if quorum has been achieved The tech has already supported this improvement, but mainnet launched with an extra buffer. With this change and others, you’ll see the network continue to harden and streamline
