What Monad has so far: - High quality open-source C++/rust codebase with many HFT-style optimizations and architectural changes - Public audits and clear docs that put the technology first. Transparency -- no hand-waving, no unsubstantiated claims - High-performance system focused on true decentralization, running continuously in testnet with 186 globally distributed validators at 5000-10000 tps - MonadBFT, a frontier consensus mechanism featuring 400ms block times, 800ms finality, large globally-distributed validator set, and tail-fork resistance - Async Execution (while supporting EIP-7702 through the Reserve Balance mechanism) - MonadDb for efficient merkle trie storage - Native code compiler for frequently used contracts - Interconnected community of smart, thoughtful crypto-natives who will grow in influence over the next few years - Ecosystem of promising young startup founders, ready to take their shot - Over $100m in ecosystem funding pre-mainnet - Founder support through DeltaV, the Monad Founder Residency, Monad Madness, and more - Monad Momentum, an incentives program focused on efficient UA and repeatable growth loops to help decentralized apps acquire normie users - A north star of making open-source, decentralized systems more powerful But there's still so much more to do. Are you excited?

@arjunnchand Louder

The problem with crypto marketing is that we think we’re explaining tech in simple, plain language to the average user But in reality half of the time marketing teams don’t understand the tech themselves This is never going to work out You can’t market what you don’t understand

@r0bre 😅

Hi i need this one please for signing 🙏

@srhhadron @Richard_ISC 💜

@keoneHD @Richard_ISC This is 100% a practical reality as an early stage founder. Most founders would feel wasteful doing this or hesitate even if they know it’s positive EV. May be the most Monad bullish initiative I’ve seen so far. Gg

PROTOCOL TEAMS SHOULD USE DEDICATED COMPUTERS FOR MULTISIG OPERATIONS This is our attempt to encourage this best practice. Many other things that can be done to improve opsec, but this is low-hanging fruit Details enclosed

@0xairtx @category_xyz 🤣

@keoneHD @category_xyz Have you thought about close sourcing the validators to get rid of spam?

arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2604.00234

Blog: category.xyz/blogs/blockspa…

Here is an excellent bit of research on spam MEV transactions from @category_xyz . A common example of a spam MEV transaction is a speculative trade that pings a market, trying to buy low or sell high in the event that another trade happened to move the market to that level. These transactions check whether the price has moved and revert early, exploiting the fact that most blockchains charge gasUsed rather than gasLimit. Spam has downstream effects on devs and infra providers who still have to parse through everything. In the paper (and in the summary blog post), Category Labs researchers & collaborators build a model to predict the relationship between block capacity, min gas price, gas charge policy, and spam frequency, then assess how closely it matches empirical results on Base and Arbitrum. The results have implications on blockchain pricing policy and capacity. Great work by a stellar team: @0xWenhaoWang (Yale/IC3) and Aditya Saraf (Cornell/IC3), @liobaheimbach (Category Labs), @KushalBabel (Category Labs), and @0xFanZhang (Yale/IC3)

@kir_varlamov It takes some time to set up the proper signing pathway, but I don't find it to be significantly more painful than signing on the regular device. I recognize that your workflow might be more complicated as a bridge

@keoneHD the subsidy is a nice gesture but the real blocker was never the cost of a laptop. It’s that dedicated signing devices are operationally painful, slow to coordinate, hard to update, low flexibility when you need to act fast

@Richard_ISC IMO, the need for dedicated devices is not widely talked about and there is a definite knowledge gap. But also, I can understand why teams would be tempted to not issue second laptops. Startups are supposed to be scrappy. This is about removing that thought

@keoneHD You should know better than to think it was a cost issue.
