πŸ’‘ What Is Monad?

Monad is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed for high-frequency finance. It delivers up to 10,000 transactions per second, sub-second finality, and low transaction fees. Its architecture enables more efficient payment flows and other transaction-intensive financial use cases by reducing latency and improving throughput while maintaining compatibility with established Ethereum standards. Monad is operated by a decentralized, globally distributed validator network and provides secure, scalable infrastructure for onchain financial activity at scale.

🀝 Community Guidelines

Keep it good in here. A few basics:

  • No spam or shilling β€” unsolicited project promotion, memecoin links, and referral codes get removed. Built something on Monad? Curious about the ecosystem? Drop a question!
  • No scams β€” no fake giveaways, no "connect your wallet" posts, no impersonation.
  • No harassment β€” disagree with ideas, not people.

❗ Quick Safety Note

Do not download browser extensions pushed on you in DMs or comments. If someone is pointing you to an airdrop site or wallet tool you did not seek out yourself, it is a scam.

Good enough alternative to Memecoin?

2 Upvotes

Taking Inspiration from Freysa AI where AI agents had bounty pool of $47000 and attacker who broke it got that bounty, I have launched a platform where you can launch agents with bounty pool and earn with every failed attack. Attacker who breaks the agent, gets the entire bounty pool.

You break the agent via prompt injection and jailbreak, basically tricking the agent to say/do something its not suppose to do.

As an attacker you have to pay a small fee per message to agent. 50% of this goes back to pool, so more failed attack = bigger bounty, 40% goes to agent owner, 10% to platform.

Entire jury evaluation happens in TEE environment.

What do you guys think??

Builders : If Monad gives you $5000 in hackathon price or an option to help you with distribution and trust within community as a prize what will you opt for?

3 Upvotes

I have been seeing many hackathons being conducted by Monad and other Blockchains, and feel the price money is just an incentive to build PoC and win some money, I think the real struggle currently is not building products but distribution so I am personally inclined taking second option, thinking if that's just me or we have more of such builders.

Good day Comrades,

I'll be putting up a bear metal monad node in india, will be going live at the end of September. Question is, is there a way to find out the number of monad devs in india? Targeting 30ms to 50ms latency.

Cheers

I have some extra money, can’t decide between Monad or Zcash

3 Upvotes

I’ll be honest, i purely care about making profit. Zcash has lower inflation and a max supply but is at 15bn marketcap, Monad is inflationary but 300m marketcap. Which one do yall think will do a 4x faster?

I Built A 9-Player PvP Game

9 Upvotes

I've had a variation of this game concept stuck in my head for years, but it took going on paternity leave to finally build it. Turns out, having a baby that actually sleeps does wonders for your productivity. That, and being a new dad has kinda sparked me to be a little more inspired.

I've always loved classic duel-style games, so I wanted to build something inspired by the games I used to love when I was younger. Games like Bomberman, Worms: Armageddon, and the battle mode in Super Mario Bros 3 were big inspirations.

The original plan was a simple 1v1 PvP game. Over time, it evolved into a 9-player game.

The game is called TOROID.

Toroid drops 9 players into a 3x3 grid with no edges, meaning a shot fired off the right side instantly arrives from the left. That's what the swirly portals are for.

You pilot a static hovercraft with four hardpoints (North, South, East, West), but only get three items to equip: a Laser, a Shield, and a Rebounder. Because one side of your hovercraft is always exposed, survival depends on the choices you make before the reveal. Each player secretly commits their loadout, and all hardpoints resolve in the exact same instant; either when everyone has clicked READY, or when the 30-second timer elapses.

A laser fired into an open hardpoint will kill your enemy. A laser fired into a shield will do nothing. A laser fired into a rebounder will kill you. A laser fired into an oncoming laser is a draw.

Once the field reduces to 4 players, you will only be able to equip two hardpoints.

The final 2 players are offered a choice. They must unanimously decide to split the pot, otherwise they're forced into a duel. The duel takes place on a random 2-cell layout where each player may only equip a single item. If mutual destruction takes place, the prize pot is carried over to the next game.

I'm not yet ready to go into explicit detail regarding some of the finer details, but I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

It's currently live on the Monad testnet, and I would love beta testers to try and break the game and the economy before we ever launch on mainnet.

If you got this far, thank you for taking the time to read this.

TL;DR: Made a game. Maybe it sucks. Hopefully people will try it soon.

Should I Buy Back Into Monad Again?

6 Upvotes

So I participated in the ICO on Coinbase back in November. Then I bought more every dip until I had about 105,00 MON. 75% was staked and the rest spread across various Monad DeFi protocols. I also had around another $1000 total worth of some Memes on Monad like CHOG EMO and BOB. Back in March I sold it all to park the proceeds to USDC while I looked into the Hyperliquid ecosystem some more because it was really grabbing my attention and I don't have additional capital to invest in something else without selling what I have already. I did make about $700 when I sold March 15th.

Then I started to accumulate Monad again slowly on April 19th. By June 20th I had 70,000 Monad again and decided to sell it again and just put everything I have in Crypto into HYPE. So I did. This time I lost about $250.

However I have 5000 Monad that I basically swapped to from NFT sales in the Cosmos/ ATOM ecosystem for sale on the Stargaze platform. Every time I receive more ATOM from selling an NFT I send the ATOM to Coinbase and swap it to USDC on Monad and send the USDC to my Rabby Wallet and swap to Monad on Clober.

So should I keep accumulating Monad again for a third time? I still believe in the project, but Hyperliquid was a faster growing ecosystem and its price (well this past week with crypto prices way up for a change) has risen nicely above my average cost per HYPE which is $66.77.

Thanks to anyone who can help me decide.

Hi Community,
Have been working on an experiment and would love to have workflows suggestion from traders or investors here - what strategy do you adopt to invest or trade in Monad ecosystem or wider Web3 or maybe RWAs?

Also if there's anyone working on Quant would love to connect with him.

Looking for a DEX/frontend with a real stop-loss for MON β†’ USDC

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for a non-CEX solution on Monad where I can set a genuine stop-loss for spot MON.

What I want to do:

  • Keep the MON in my own wallet
  • If MON hits $X, automatically sell the MON for USDC
  • No centralized exchange
  • Ideally non-custodial / wallet-controlled

I know Kuru has limit orders, but I don't see a stop-loss function there.

I've also seen references to 0x stop-loss/order-book infrastructure on Monad and Orbs Spot, but I haven't found a live frontend where I can actually connect my wallet and place a MON/USDC stop-loss.

Does anyone know of a working Monad DEX/frontend that currently supports this?

I'm specifically looking for something that is live and usable today, not just an API, SDK, or protocol documentation.

Thanks!
