Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that processes 10,000 transactions per second with near-zero fees. The platform delivers high performance without compromising on security or decentralization, creating the infrastructure needed for complex applications that require high-frequency activity.  One of Monad’s key innovations lies in how it handles transaction processing. Instead of processing transactions one at a time like traditional blockchains, Monad processes multiple transactions simultaneously through parallel execution.   The system separates the agreement process from the execution process, allowing validators to first agree on which transactions to include and in what order, then having more time to execute those transactions without slowing down consensus. This approach, combined with a custom-built database called MonadDB, dramatically increases throughput while maintaining accuracy.  Monad also offers complete EVM compatibility, where applications built for Ethereum work on Monad without any code modifications, and users can connect with familiar wallets like MetaMask just as they would on Ethereum. Developers can immediately tap into Ethereum's established ecosystem of tools, libraries, and applications while benefitting from Monad’s performance improvements. The platform also runs on consumer-grade hardware rather than expensive specialized equipment, making it accessible for more people to participate in securing the network.  Monad has raised approximately 244 million dollars in total funding across multiple rounds. The company secured 19 million dollars in a seed round in February 2023 led by Dragonfly Capital, followed by a 225 million dollar Series A round in April 2024 led by Paradigm at a 3 billion dollar valuation. Other notable investors include Electric Capital, Greenoaks, Coinbase Ventures, and prominent angel investors such as Naval Ravikant.

Monad

Monad (MON) is gaining significant attention as its innovative Layer 1 blockchain sees new DeFi integrations and a rapidly expanding user base, fueling community discussions about its potential to rival existing chains and its attractive staking yields. Many investors are accumulating, viewing its current valuation as an early entry point for substantial long-term value.

According to Buterin, the proposed upgrades will result in faster finality, higher throughput, and quantum-resistant security.“...Expect to see these changes to be intertwined with a "ship of Theseus" style component-by-component replacement of Ethereum's slot structure and consensus with a cleaner, simpler, quantum-resistant, prover-friendly, end-to-end formally-verified alternative,” he&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin">wrote</a> in the X post.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum’s price</a> rose nearly 8% to around $2,000 in the last 24 hours, leading gains among crypto majors and outperforming Bitcoin (BTC).

The first of which is a "fast L1," which targets short slots and finality in seconds. The second is "gigagas L1," which aims to reach a transaction speed of 1 gigagas per second via zkEVMs and real-time proving.&nbsp;The third target is "teragas L2," looking to hit 1 gigabyte per second of data bandwidth, or 10 million transactions per second. The last two focus on improving privacy and building protection against quantum threats.&nbsp;He said the document would be maintained by the Ethereum Foundation Architecture team and receive quarterly updates, with the latest revision date noted on the document.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-etf-inflows-top-500-m-for-first-time-this-year-after-record-outflows/cZTGEntRIbj">Bitcoin ETF Inflows Top $500M For First Time This Year, On Track To Break Record Outflow Streak</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com
