Understanding Monad’s Behavior from a User Perspective

If you’re exploring the Monad testnet and notice your transactions feel delayed or unclear, this is expected.
Monad uses a different execution model than Ethereum.
Here’s what you should know.

Focus on exploration, mission on documentation, visions to limitless. All about web3.

Monad is compatible with Ethereum tools like MetaMask.
However, its core architecture is different.
It uses asynchronous, parallel execution, which affects how transactions are processed and confirmed.

In Ethereum, a transaction is validated and confirmed immediately.
In Monad, a transaction is accepted first, but only validated later when the next block is produced.
This leads to a different user experience.

Because of this, Monad may temporarily accept a transaction even if:
– The account balance is insufficient
– The nonce is incorrect
– Gas appears too low

Final results are determined during block creation.

If your transaction does not appear right away, wait 15–30 seconds (1–2 blocks).
Monad does not process transactions instantly.
Use the official testnet explorer to verify:

This behavior is expected.

Key differences in RPC behavior:
– eth_getLogs: max 100 blocks
– eth_feeHistory: returns fixed data
– WebSocket: currently unsupported

These impact tools relying on real-time data.

Please note:
“Accepted” does not mean “confirmed.”
Always verify the final outcome using your transaction hash and tools like eth_getTransactionReceipt or the explorer.
