Two years ago, Barry and I created a brand called Monadians. If you were into Monad or NFTs back then, you heard about us. Everyone did. We poured serious money, time, and effort into this project. Monadians became the most hyped collection on Monad, ever. It genuinely felt like the 2021 NFT runback, and it didn’t stop inside the Monad bubble. We were the first Monad native collection to break into the wider web3 conversation. People who had never cared about Monad were suddenly talking about Monadians. We were growing fast. Momentum was huge. Then Monad started delaying, again, and again. At peak momentum, we made a calculated decision to launch on Ethereum, then migrate to Monad on mainnet, while continuing to build products specifically for the Monad ecosystem. A launch date was set, and everyone involved was fired up. Then, completely out of nowhere, @cryptunez (CMO of Monad) reached out with this message: “Launching on ETH is a bad idea. If you launch on ETH, we won't consider you as a Monad project.” So Barry scheduled a call with him. After the call, Barry relayed what was said: He loved what we were building. Monad wanted to work “closely” with us. He repeatedly used the word “endorsement”. We were promised significant support if we stopped everything and delayed. We were told: Monad mainnet was scheduled for Q4 2024 Monad’s strategy was to connect the ecosystem There would be NFT airdrops If we launched on ETH and migrated later, we would not be eligible. It sounded extremely bullish, but none of it happened. Here’s where it crossed a line: Barry explained that killing momentum would be incredibly dangerous for the project. The response was condescending and toxic: “If you’re not ready for this responsibility, you should reconsider launching at all.” Read that again. That wasn’t guidance, that was disrespect. It showed a complete lack of understanding of momentum, the most important metric in any startup, community, or brand. And worse, it showed zero respect for the work we had already put in. Now you understand why things look the way they do with Monad. A guy who knows nothing about the importance of momentum is steering the ship. At that point, I asked Barry to schedule another call so I could also join. Same story. More promises. More vague assurances. Anything to make us delay. I didn’t trust him. Something felt off from the start, and guess what? I was right. Shortly after, @keoneHD was suddenly brought into the picture and asked Barry to hop on a call. Barry asked if he could bring his co-founder (me). The answer was: “No. Just you.” That alone should’ve been a red flag. The same conversation happened again. The same pressure to delay. The same promises, this time coming from the CEO & Founder. After weeks of arguments between Barry and me, we made the worst decision we could’ve made, We trusted them. We delayed our mint, sacrificing momentum, based entirely on promises from the Monad team. On the day I tried to reach out to tunez to align and move forward? He ghosted me. Once. Twice. The third time, I got the message. Months later, he had the audacity to send me an article he wrote titled something along the lines of “How to Manage NFTs Properly” and told me I should read it. I ignored it. A few days later, he followed up with: “Did you read it? I recommend reading again” That wasn’t advice. That was arrogance. After that, communication with the Monad team effectively died, and we weren’t alone. Many founders on Monad experienced the same broken communication, the same vague promises, the same silence. I won’t name them, they’re still building on Monad. This is what happened to us, This is our story.

. @zama creator program is quietly setting the right standard. Rewording Zama docs into tweets isn’t education. That’s noise. Good creators make complex ideas simpler, not louder. Quality over volume is the right move.

gZama Creators 💛 Sharing this because it reflects something many creators quietly feel and it comes from a place of care, not criticism. Over the past week with the official @zama leaderboard under maintenance, a lot of us have been closely watching Cookie’s leaderboard activity. Naturally, some fluctuations have felt confusing, especially for creators who’ve been consistently contributing and suddenly see big ranking changes. That said, this phase also shows how much people care about the Zama ecosystem. Creators are here because they believe in the tech, the vision and the community Zama has built. A bit of clarity from the team on how rankings will be handled going forward whether via Cookie or an official system would go a long way in keeping everyone aligned and motivated. Zama has always stood for transparency and community first values, which is why many of us trust that this will be addressed thoughtfully. Big respect to all the genuine creators who keep showing up, learning and sharing value. The journey matters not just the numbers. #ZamaCreatorProgram
