Monad

Monad is a high-performance EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for parallel execution and pipelined consensus, targeting 10,000 TPS with 1-second block time and single-slot finality while remaining fully Ethereum bytecode-compatible. Mainnet (chain ID 143, native token MON) launched on November 24, 2025 alongside a long-running public testnet. Developer surfaces include public JSON-RPC endpoints (rpc.monad.xyz, testnet-rpc.monad.xyz), an Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC plus Monad-specific extensions, MonadVision, Monadscan, and Socialscan explorers, native EVM tooling (Foundry, Hardhat, Remix), indexers (GhostGraph, QuickNode Streams, Envio HyperIndex), and a Staking API and Machine Payments Protocol.

APIs

Monad Mainnet JSON-RPC

Public Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC endpoint for Monad mainnet (chain ID 143, native token MON). Hosted on QuickNode infrastructure with a 25 requests/sec default rate limit; al...

Monad Testnet JSON-RPC

Public JSON-RPC endpoint for the Monad public testnet, used for application development, integration testing, and validator software validation before deploying to mainnet.

Monad JSON-RPC API

Full JSON-RPC method reference — standard Ethereum eth_*, net_*, web3_*, debug_*, and trace_* methods plus Monad-specific extensions and notes on method differences, rate limits...

Monad Staking API

API for delegating MON to validators, querying validator stats, undelegating, and reading rewards. Backs delegation UI and external staking integrations.

Monad Machine Payments Protocol

Protocol specification for programmable machine-to-machine payments on Monad, including account, channel, and settlement primitives.

MonadVision Block Explorer

Block explorer for Monad mainnet — transaction, block, contract, and token lookup with Solidity source verification.

Monadscan Block Explorer

Etherscan-style Monadscan block explorer covering Monad mainnet, with transaction, address, contract, and token analytics.

Socialscan Monad Explorer

Socialscan instance for Monad, offering an alternative explorer view with social and on-chain identity overlays.

Monad Foundry Toolkit

Monad-flavored Foundry toolkit (forge, cast, anvil) for compiling, deploying, scripting, and testing Solidity against Monad mainnet and testnet.

Monad RPC Providers

Registry of third-party RPC providers supporting Monad — QuickNode, Alchemy, Goldsky Edge, Ankr, MonadInfra — with rate-limit and method-availability differences documented.

Monad Indexers

Indexing options for Monad data — GhostGraph (Graph-style subgraphs), QuickNode Streams, and Envio HyperIndex — for building data backends and analytics on top of Monad.

Monad Bridges

Token bridges and cross-chain messaging integrations for moving assets between Ethereum, other chains, and Monad.
