Monad's parallel EVM delivers high-performance logic by enabling 10,000 TPS, sub-second finality, and parallel execution while maintaining full EVM compatibility—avoiding the need for new VMs like Solana's SVM or Move-based chains (Sui/Aptos). This allows seamless migration of Ethereum dApps, boosting developer appeal. Developer migration potential is strong: Solidity devs can port contracts with zero code changes, leveraging existing tools and liquidity, potentially capturing Ethereum's ecosystem while rivaling Solana's speed. Volatility is high as a new token (launched Nov 2025, ~$0.02 range, down from ATH), driven by post-airdrop dynamics, unlocks, and market sentiment. Overall — strong long-term thesis for high-performance EVM scaling, but short-term risk remains elevated.

In 2025, the modular blockchain narrative remains dominant in infrastructure discussions, shifting from monolithic designs to specialized layers for better scalability and flexibility. Celestia leads as the premier data availability (DA) layer, powering dozens of rollups and chains with upgrades like Matcha (doubling block size to 128MB) and plans for 1GB blocks. It drives adoption by enabling cheap, high-throughput rollups, though competition from EigenDA and Avail fragments market share. Despite price volatility and token unlocks, Celestia's technical edge cements modular DA as a core trend, fueling Ethereum-aligned scaling.
