Monad Network’s Technical Superiorities: 10,000 TPS Analysis
Monad offers 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second finality with its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible parallel executor architecture. It stands out with lower gas fees compared to optimistic rollups and an ASIC-resistant consensus mechanism. This is ideal for DeFi protocols and HFT; for example, it provides 150% superiority over Arbitrum’s 4,000 TPS.
Launch Metrics and $225 Million Funding
Post-mainnet, stablecoin market cap rose to $450 million, DeFi TVL to $200 million. Monad, which raised $225 million led by Paradigm in 2024, is investing this capital in ecosystem grants. Current MON price is $0.68, 24-hour change +5.79%.

Arthur Hayes says most new L1s will fail, with only BTC, ETH, SOL, and ZEC remaining. Monad’s institutional focus could challenge this prediction; TVL growth is expected with APAC expansion.
