LIVE NOW - Do We Need Another L1? - Inside Monad’s Parallel EVM with Co-Founder Keone Hon Monad just launched Mainnet! That’s why RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄 sits down with Monad co-founder Keone Hon today. We ask the blunt question: do we really need another general-purpose L1? Why not just build this as an Ethereum L2 instead? Keone explains how Monad’s parallel, pipelined EVM works under tight consumer-hardware constraints (32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 100 Mbps), delivering ~500M gas/sec, 400ms blocks, and fast finality while preserving decentralization.

LIVE NOW -- Mega ETH vs Monad | Super Fast Ethereum Today we're talking EVM, specifically how and Monad are planning to make Ethereum SUPER fast. We answer: 1 - Which is faster, more decentralized, and more censorship-resistant? 2 - How did Monad and MegaETH build large communities before even launching a testnet, let alone a mainnet? 3 - What are their thoughts on criticism that building with the EVM is like building on quicksand?

Gmonad From HFT to building the next-gen EVM chain, Keone Hon shares the why behind Monad in this special episode of BlockHunters Voices On the Road, filmed IRL at Token2049 Dubai and hosted by ioachim viju. We covered: - The Jump Trading era and how the Monad founding team came together - Why Monad chose not to go the rollup route - How they’re scaling the EVM with parallel execution, a new consensus layer, and asynchronous design - What real decentralization actually looks like - Testnet growth, Monad Madness, and Shark Tank for devs - And why brand, community, and on-chain lore matter just as much as throughput

MONAD COFOUNDER SAYS X ACCOUNT SUSPENSION MAY BE A MISTAKE The official Monad account (Monad) is currently suspended by X "without prior warning or specified violation", according to the team. Monad co-founder Keone Hon (Keone Hon) reports that the team was not engaged in abnormal activity or unauthorized API usage and expects the account to be reinstated following an appeal to X support. The protocol is currently utilizing secondary developer channels to maintain community engagement during the unexpected downtime. This disruption occurs at a critical juncture for the high-throughput Layer 1 as it scales its social presence ahead of the upcoming 2026 mainnet milestones.

Recap Quiz for Episode #1 with Monad We talked about why Monad was created and who created it, exploring Monad from the basics. Monad was founded by three founders to build a fast L1 capable of real-time trading. Instead of taking the easy route with rollups or shortcuts, they refined their own technology over a long period to launch their mainnet. Additionally, they pursue competition to help the ecosystem grow in natural and leverage their strong industry network to support project funding, using it to benefit ecosystem partners. 📂 And now for the quiz: On July 12th, the 7th Monad OOOOO Hackathon will be held in Korea. What is the name of this hackathon? Thx sungmo & Monad

Keone Hon says banks and enterprises don’t want to build inside walled gardens. “When we talk to enterprises, when we talk to banks, one of the consistent things that we hear is that they care about not building in a walled garden.” “They care about not building inside of an ecosystem where there’s one anchor tenant who is going to end up preferencing themselves.” “They care about building on credibly neutral, decentralized environments like Ethereum or Monad.” “The real value Monad can deliver is a dependable, performant, well-engineered system.” “One that delivers a high degree of decentralization and is credibly neutral.” “Not just a centralized thing that is kind of run by one big company.”

Alright so I've been cooking something on Monad these past days The hackathon gave me some motivation to keep shipping new stuff. I saw this price prediction game concept on Solana and thought it would be a great fit for Monad, you need a fast chain for this kind of game to feel right So I'm building this, you get a live grid with the MON price moving in real-time, click where you think it's going, bet lands on-chain in under a second. No wallet popups thanks to session keys, just pure gameplay Still a ton to improve, settlement, UI, balancing but already deployed and playable on Monad testnet What u guys think? 👇
