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.

Monad publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Monad JSON RPC API API. Tagged areas include Blockchain, Layer 1, EVM, High Performance, and Parallel Execution.

Monad’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.
