Monad now has linear memory expansion costs rather than quadratic like Ethereum. Smart contracts can now use more memory for cheaper cost. This expands what developers can build on Monad as well as reduces the need to potentially compromise security for optimization purposes.

MONAD_NINE is live. Monad Mainnet has successfully undergone a hard fork. Node operators must run v0.13.0+ Outdated nodes may fall out of sync or lose consensus.

On Tue (3/10) at 14:30 UTC, testnet successfully upgraded to the MONAD_NINE hardfork that was shipped in v0.13.0. Mainnet will follow in 1 week. This hard fork introduces - MIP-3: Linear memory costs (remove quadratic gas pricing term, which overcharges users) - MIP-4: Introduces a precompile to introspect reserve balance; likely useful for AA bundlers - MIP-5: Activate Osaka fork features (CLZ opcode) Additionally, this release speeds up RPC responses when querying with block='latest' (the most popular query). - As a result of this, most blockchain interactions which wait for a receipt will (by default) only need to wait 400 ms instead of 1.2s, improving responsiveness. - Also as a result of this, simulations and lookups of current state will (by default) look back to the latest proposed block rather than the latest finalized block, reducing delay in the default view. A full changelog is linked in the next tweet.
