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?

MIP: monad-crypto.github.io/MIPs/MIPS/MIP-8 Discussion: forum.monad.xyz/t/mip-8-page-i…

MIP-8 (Page-ified Storage State) has been drafted by researchers at @category_xyz . This proposal makes storage page-aware. The EVM has 32-byte slots, but hardware works in 4 KB pages. Reading one slot pulls in a whole page; once that is done, the true cost to read any other slots from that page is very small. Under MIP-8, a 4096-byte (128 slot) page becomes the unit of access and commitment. Storage is grouped into pages, and each page is committed with a binary tree. Under MIP-8, gas is priced accordingly. The first touch to a page is expensive. Once loaded, all slots in that page are warm. This makes contiguous layouts (arrays, structs) naturally cheaper, without any disruption to sparse layouts (mappings). We believe that MIP-8 aligns gas costs more closely with true costs of state access. It incentivizes developers to choose storage patterns that utilize slots from the same page, and allows developers to build performant EVM apps that utilize state access efficiently.

Monad is rationalizing gas costs with true costs and constraints, so that developers can make the most of the hardware and build the most powerful applications. MIP-4 (linear memory expansion costs) is the first step in that direction. Live on Monad Mainnet now.

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.

@0xOwnerpaiN It should be a seamless transition, as all nodes switch over to the new logic after passing a certain timestamp. The only failure case is if a node didn't upgrade to v0.13.0 in which case that node will fall out of sync

@keoneHD How does this affect existing public services on the network?

Tomorrow, Thu 3/19 at 14:30 UTC, Monad Mainnet will undergo a hard fork to revision MONAD_NINE. Node operators should upgrade to at least version v0.13.0 before then. MONAD_NINE introduces MIP-3, MIP-4, and MIP-5 as detailed in the changelog in the next message

As part of its gas sponsorship implementation, Metamask is automatically delegating to its EIP-7702 contract on Monad the next time that you send a Monad transaction: support.metamask.io/manage-crypto/… I would guess that the first transaction you sent after Mar 10 included an EIP-7702 delegation The delegation is kind of "part of the wallet" (a default Metamask behavior), it's not like a contract approval.

@keoneHD i tired to remove that delegation from my own wallet but i can't its show on revoke.cash but the site can't revoke it bcs its from EIP-7702 i want to know more and how risk my wallet are thank you

@PlayWLS 🫡

Illinois is a WILD pick, GL boss 🫡

You can also follow along to node announcements here: t.me/MonadNodeAnnou…

@jinglingcookies I really want to build the Mind Game from Ender's Game. Inching closer to making it a reality with each passing day

this is cool

@PlayWLS @monad @base 👍

The @monad pool has pulled ahead of the @base pool for the first time today 👀 16 hours left to submit a bracket! Link in bio

@parlettodotbet @monad Welcome!! Site looks great, very intuitive. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Parletto finally found its home. And it’s purple. Fast. Decentralized. EVM compatible. Built for consumer apps. Beta is LIVE on @Monad. Prediction markets meet parlays. Things may break, that’s the point. We’ll keep shipping till mainnet. parletto.bet

@DavideFi 😆

i can’t believe that the monad studio office doesn’t have a bucket of creatine for their guests @keoneHD plz solve this

Most people introspect more than is optimal. That doesn't mean the optimal is 0, it just means that for most people (given where they are in life, their job, relationships, skills, etc) their level of meta-thought exceeds what is optimal. Of course we would then need to debate the importance of optimality -- like, many things that give us happiness are sub-optimal -- so optimality in itself is maybe only important from the perspective of something like societal productivity

@keoneHD if there’s an “optimal” amount, then how’s it overrated? that shows it’s not overrated no? there’s an optimal amount of salt / seasoning you add into your food =/= salt is overrated.

Marc Andreesen is wrong in claming that none of the Greats were introspective, but right in pointing out that introspection is overrated The optimal amount of introspection is always less than what you currently do Introspection is overrated, just go do things

@flipdazed @ivangbi_ 💯

@keoneHD Literally it's just because @ivangbi_ and his team are so aggressive on the mutes and ban hammers so all credit to them

@kristovatlas This is a great point

@keoneHD bias toward action != considering whether you are a good person

@gakonst How many nodes & where are they?

We just launched Tempo Mainnet & the Machine Payments Protocol. Last 5 years our team also created: - Reth: high performance node SDK for Ethereum L1 & L2s. - Foundry: testing framework used to deploy/test >$100B in DeFi. - Wagmi/Viem: Typescript for all crypto web apps. AMA.
