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?

Fortytwo's first product, Fortytwo Prime, allows agents to get the best answer from a swarm of frontier models. Decentralize Intelligence.

It took me about 3 months to become *the* expert on gas optimization back in 2022. There is still a lot of low-hanging fruit like that. You just need to stop chasing a new thing every week that the influencers say is hot. Your proven ability to focus and go deep will go a long way towards building the credibility people need to trust you with large projects. I don't talk about gas optimization anymore, but the credibility I built back then paved the way for everything I do now in Web3. So don't stress out about building expertise in the "wrong" thing. I'm literally giving you my playbook here. If you don't know how to push yourself to state-of-the-art, you'll have a tough time competing with AI while staying in the comfort zone of what is easy to learn and has a lot of material already. People think being a good generalist means studying a lot of different subjects. No, "being a good generalist" means knowing first-hand it takes to be excellent it a certain field, then apply that experience to other fields.

Monad满四月之际，迎来完全合规欧元稳定币EURW发行 和Newrails团队合作数月之后，合规的欧元稳定币EURW终于在Monad上发行。前期，Monad上迎来了韩国国债等新型资产上链发行，相比之下，稳定币更大，代表着区域经济的链上迁徙。EURW支持全球企业用户在欧洲的展业，通过Monad上的稳定币通道做跨境交易。 团队优势：早 + 合规 + iban & sepa账户和费率优势 + 成熟的团队配置 早：去年circle在欧洲的稳定币还比较side project，但那时newrails已经辗转拿到了监管牌照。我们决定需要押注非美元稳定币和fx领域，和Newrails展开合作。随后看到Revolut, French Bank等逐渐开始披露在稳定币方面的布局 合规 ：光拿到牌照的合规成本在数百万美元，而一个完全合规的稳定币项目的估值是成本的10x以上，当前稳定币市场，合规就是leverage iban账户，接入sepa：其他的稳定币发行商通常需要和银行合作。但newrails team 拥有iban账户接入sepa，为用户整合了kyb流程，不用和其他银行 / 交易所等重复kyb，且sepa支持在欧洲内转账零费率 团队：欧洲+亚洲，来自stripe, kraken, airwallex，bn等。欧洲团队更多cover监管和合规，主席Mark拥有十几年和监管打交到的经验，亚洲团队在产品工程以及商业，当前很多fx的用户会把欧元转成hk / sgd的商户，他们来自广告、家具、电商各个领域 Monad的稳定币和支付的战略在逐渐的显现。去年夏天，Monad宣发收购由原Visa crypto团队创立的Portal之后，我们逐渐形成了钱包基础设施、商户、onofframp的网络，近期加入了Master card crypto program，并吸引类似Newrails这样的资产发行方。 接下来是什么？在blackrock和uniswap合作之后，可以看到tradfi需要defi。除了提供一个链上的发行和交易的场所，传统的商户和资金更需要嫁接的是一个稳定、自行循环的健康的defi经济体。过去四个月，Monad上的yield和tvl相辅相成，tvl自然增长至300m+，期待EURW的加入！

Work update: I joined Monad Foundation as a Senior Protocol Engineer last summer. It's been fun. I recommend the chain. I'll also be speaking at EthCC next week, see you there.

@HarryAlford3 🔥

Rise now supports Monad for crypto payroll. Traditional chains get congested and expensive. Monad handles high-volume, real-time payroll without the bottlenecks, so contractors and employees get faster withdrawals and lower fees every time they get paid. This is what high-performance infrastructure was built for.

@DexDev33 @thisisfin_ @monad Lets go

gmonad $MON is pumpinggggg and is above it’s ico price and just got an email that my mon merch is on the way too life is good 😭💜 thank you @thisisfin_

Validators take notice!

Monad!

Excited to share that Monad is a founding member of the Blockchain Payments Consortium. Lots to do!

@_prestwich Priced like a cold page fetch though Also which DBs in which clients address this?

this is just false. its not even close to correct.

@0xShitTrader Good eye

The new Polymarket fee structure is not symmetric around 50%. This means the P and ~P markets may look way out of line, especially near 0% and 100%. Very curious what the reasoning was here.

@crexsol Oh no their Crex alert was triggered

@keoneHD tried it earlier, but got this call back

Has anyone tried depositing/withdrawing stablecoins on Monad on OKX? Proper support for stablecoins is a priority; it enables a lot of payments use cases

@LordEmo @okx That's crazy that they put that guy in the graphic. Good stuff

@keoneHD no, but i've heard @okx is very based wen it comes to listing meme coins from early ecosystems. very bullish for ticker $emo on the monad block chain in my honest opinion.

@crexsol @mijovic988 😆 @mijovic988

@keoneHD was shocked to see @mijovic988 blocked me for some reasons xd but yeah evm looking good here

EVM storage is extremely inefficient. Here's what you need to know: 1. Storage slots are 32 bytes 2. But disk pages are 4096 bytes (128x) 3. When computers read from disk, they read in units of pages 4. Intuitively, you would think that storage slots 0-127 (and 128-255, 256-383, etc) all map to the same page, but that's not how it works. Instead, it is basically guaranteed that every storage slot maps to a different disk page, so reading 5 storage slots will incur 5 page reads. 5. What if we made contiguous storage slots map to the same page? Then we could reduce gas costs for subsequent slot accesses, charging a cold SLOAD/SSTORE cost for the first slot access (slot 0) and warm for subsequent ones (slots 1-127). MIP-8 does exactly this. It reprices gas accordingly, making making many previously-cold SLOADs/SSTOREs instead warm, and rearchitects the storage trie to enable this. It's a complex effort, but the @category_xyz team is expert at database design and has a solution. This is Monad's first big improvement to the EVM. Monad mainnet was intentionally an MVP -- the absolute minimum set of changes that would deliver full interface compatibility, high performance, and decentralization. Improvements like MIP-8 were intentionally held to post-mainnet - but now that mainnet is live, we can start pushing the pace with improvements.

@mikeinweb Pushing

@keoneHD push the pace even harder, make it the new standard. decade long roadmaps should be a thing of the past, ship, iterate and deliver nonstop

@_prestwich The EVM assumes too low of a common denominator among implementations, leading to massive inefficiencies

which is to say this isn't actually an EVM issue. The EVM is correctly accounting for different storage layers with different properties and updating the EVM in this way constraints your choice of storage layers

we made this optimization in Signet a while back, but i'm not sure it's a good idea to make it mandatory by adjusting the gas schedule, as it restricts DB choices for clients. this might be okay if you have a single client and good benches tho
