Introducing Monad Watchtower → monad-watchtower.xyz An analytics and performance dashboard for the @monad ecosystem and validators. 1,329 epochs of history: 168 days of mainnet + 142 days of testnet. All visualized, searchable, and live-updating. A brief backstory about how it all began. From the early Monad testnet days we developed a monitoring and alerting system for validators called Monad Watchtower, with the goal of keeping teams in the loop with real-time notifications. Since then we've been pushing the development forward, consistently improving the logic, adding new features, and most importantly - collecting all the data for each epoch... Now, having this much data, we decided to build a public dashboard to visualize all of it and make it available for everyone to use, analyze, and compare. Every validator would love to track their own performance, every delegator just wants a clear view of who's healthy and worth delegating to, and of course the Monad Foundation team needs to evaluate validators in the VDP. So we put it all in one place. 👉 What's inside: 1. A live network overview that updates every 30 seconds: network success rate, online/offline validators, current epoch progress, alerts. 2. Per-validator deep dives with full epoch participation history (all the way back), alert state, 24h stats, and a VDP compliance card showing flagged weeks against the rolling 3-month window. 3. An Epoch Browser pulling every epoch ever produced, with adjustable trend charts and a "by validator" view to jump straight to anyone's history. Weekly Reports broken down by ISO calendar week with notable events flagged for each. 4. The page worth bookmarking is the VDP Watchlist. Every validator with flagged weeks (≤98% weekly success rate) in the rolling 3-month window, sorted by severity. 3 flagged weeks triggers a delegation review by the Monad Foundation, so we surface the risk before it lands. 5. An Alerts page split into offline, recovering, and degraded validators so you can see who's actually in trouble at a glance. And we just shipped a full mobile redesign too, so you can check on the network from your phone! Massive thanks to @socialforging - you've been there with us through every question, every "wait is this actually useful?" moment along the way. Your feedback shaped Watchtower into something we're actually proud to ship. Truly grateful for everything! 🙏 There's still a lot in the works, we'll keep you posted as we ship new features. gmonad! 💜

Thrilled to join @category_xyz and work alongside the incredible teams at Category Labs and the @monad Foundation. I couldn't be more inspired by the people here, this feels like exactly where I'm meant to be. 🚀

12 assets, $GHO from day one, and a $15M incentive package from the Monad Foundation. TokenLogic has submitted an ARFC to deploy Aave on @monad. Breakdown below ↓ 🧵

Category researchers and collaborators received a Distinguished Paper Award at IEEE S&P conference (@IEEESSP) for their paper related to private mempools. The techniques introduced were ultimately leveraged in BTX, our latest state-of-the-art Batched Threshold Encryption (BTE) scheme. Congratulations to our researchers: Amit Agarwal, Babak Poorebrahim Gilkalaye, @KushalBabel, @sourav1547, @PeterRindal
