What is Monad?
Monad functions as an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that enhances scalability through its decentralized infrastructure. The blockchain project received substantial investor interest when it obtained $225 million led by Paradigm while securing support from DragonFly Capital and Shima Capital and Electric Capital.
The blockchain reaches high performance because parallel transaction handling and superscalar pipelining allow it to manage up to 10,000 transactions per second within 1-second block times. The modular design of Monad enables node operations on daily hardware components thus achieving stronger decentralization.
