what's monad?

Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed to be fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It achieves up to 10,000 transactions per second with 1-second block times and single-slot finality through innovations like parallel execution, asynchronous execution, a custom state database called MonadDB, and a high-performance consensus mechanism named MonadBFT. This enables low hardware requirements and scalability for decentralized applications, particularly in DeFi, trading platforms, and other blockchain-based services. Monad maintains Ethereum's security and decentralization while addressing its limitations in throughput and efficiency. The project is built by a team with experience in high-frequency trading and has raised significant funding to support its ecosystem growth.
