Low hardware requirements
MonadDB allows you to store most of the state on SSD instead of RAM. This significantly reduces RAM requirements and reduces the cost of running a node— creating a clear path to scalable decentralization.
Reinventing the Layer 1 Blockchain
Monad ushers in a new paradigm of blockchain technology. Rebuilt from the ground up to be the most efficient chain in the world— all while being 100% EVM compatible.
Work and play with what you've got.
With Monad, developers, users, and researchers can reuse the wealth of existing applications, libraries, addresses and applied cryptography research that have all been built for the EVM.
Extreme Scalability
Take advantage of 10,000 TPS, 0.4s block times, 800ms finality and near zero gas fees for extreme scalability while maintaining your existing Solidity codebase.
Scalable Decentralization
Monad's low hardware requirements allow consumer-grade hardware to sufficiently run nodes— creating a clear path to decentralization.
Redesigning the EVM
Monad is a redesign of both the consensus and execution systems of Ethereum that preserves compatibility for EVM smart contracts and Ethereum’s RPC API.
