Monad
Monad is a high-performance EVM Layer 1 blockchain built for parallel execution and low-latency apps.

What is Monad?
Monad is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 that runs Solidity contracts unchanged while pushing throughput past 10,000 TPS with sub-second finality. The chain uses pipelined execution, a custom MonadDB, and ~200 validators so EVM apps can scale without re-architecting around new tooling.
