What makes Monad different - by @T_H_Crypto

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

Monad!

Lume is the agentic prediction market built on Monad by freysa.eth. Now in open beta:

Monad Foundry `v1.5.0-monad.0.3.0` is released. This release introduces MonadNine as the default Monad execution hardfork, and adds MIP-3, MIP-4 and MIP-5 support through upgrades to `monad-revm 0.3.0` and `alloy-monad-evm 0.3.0`. It also makes Monad hardfork selection a first-class Foundry feature through: - the new `monad_hardfork` option in `foundry.toml` - the standard anvil `--monad --hardfork` flag - the `vm.setEvmVersion()` cheatcode Update by running `foundryup --network monad`. Full release note and changelog: github.com/category-labs/… Great shipping @0xhaythem! 🚢

This week marks 5 years officially working in crypto, though my curiosity started back in 2014, when I began writing regularly. This industry has given me a lot, and I'm thankful to be on this journey. Three lessons that have crystallized 🧵

Monad is only 4 months old btw

@Monalotls @nirmaya02 any announcements ?

@nirmaya02 magic eden doesnt support Monad anymore, use opensea

*Only 36 Monalotls listed* People know we will have an eventful March! Partnerships, events, Axies packs... And remember, each Monalotl you hold, you get 1 Axies pack airdropped for free. magiceden.io/collections/mo…

开源精神 vs 商业化，在Rebel黑客松中完美碰撞和交流 开源精神回归，更多是提出一个通用性的框架，解决一个具有公共属性的问题，通过自发传播形成口碑和影响力，用户的使用千人千面，在生产力溢出的今天，让产品打造和使用的ugc化，我用框架打造自己的项目，只服务自己； 商业这边，能看到太空算力等更大叙事的想象力，也能看到来自字节等国内的小伙伴在做内容工具这边的强大，我用他们的产品在做短剧的时候，是真的很想付费。 crypto only的项目已经很少了，大家和crypto的交叉是开放性的。就像所有的项目都是AI项目，但他们服务于各行各业；rebel黑客松的项目也都和crypto有自然结合，但服务于他们自己的业务目标. 凭借记忆的一些亮点项目 开源社区：openalice 交易agent框架 + 大模型 + 数据源（openclaw显示出的框架而不是完整产品的威力 ）; Libra, github not for humans but for agents; kimi swarm在kimi正式产品之前就推出agent swarm产品，解决sub agent协作等问题，github快速超过1k star, 通过开源影响力探索下一步成熟商业化 商业探索：Orbit AI 太空算力（恰好，英伟达GTC重点之一）； 一系列短剧、漫画、声音生成工具接入crypto； 流支付协议等

Money Moves on Monad Now with @Mastercard

imagine paying gas fees

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.
