1. Project Background & Vision
Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain founded in 2022 by Keone Hon and James Hunsaker, former high-frequency trading (HFT) experts at Jump Trading. It aims to solve Ethereum’s scalability issues by introducing parallel execution while maintaining full EVM compatibility. Key goals include:
10,000+ TPS throughput
1-second block finality
Seamless integration with Ethereum tools (MetaMask, Etherscan)
Positioned as a "faster Ethereum", Monad seeks to enable high-frequency DeFi, gaming, and real-world asset (RWA) applications.
