Monad

What is Monad

Monad is a next-generation, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to push the boundaries of speed, scalability, and efficiency while maintaining full compatibility with existing Ethereum infrastructure and dApps. Through advanced innovations such as parallel execution, superscalar pipelining, and a novel consensus mechanism, Monad overcomes key limitations found in Ethereum and other EVM-based chains.

With an unparalleled transaction throughput of 10,000 TPS, far surpassing many existing networks, Monad provides a high-performance environment tailored for large-scale DeFi applications and beyond. Its seamless compatibility with the broader Ethereum ecosystem ensures effortless migration for developers, allowing them to leverage Monad’s enhanced speed and reliability without modifying existing smart contracts.

By combining cutting-edge performance optimizations with deep EVM integration, Monad establishes a strong foundation for the future of blockchain scalability, setting the stage for even greater advancements capable of reaching hundreds of thousands of TPS in the years ahead.

What is Monad staking?

Staking is a great way for long-term crypto investors to earn passive income on their Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency assets (such as $MON) while taking part in securing the network.

Stakers, by delegating tokens to validators, give voting rights to these to validate transactions on the blockchain and propose new blocks. The more stake is attributed to a validator, the more it will be able to take part in the network consensus and earn rewards for its stakers.

A quick example: Suppose a blockchain network offers a 5% reward rate for a staking period of 1 year (5% APR). You decide to lock up and stake 100 tokens on the network. After a year, you can access your staked tokens and receive five additional tokens as your reward – minus eventual fees charged by the staking provider.

Staking Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrencies such as Monad does not require stakers to transfer their token to validators. It is a non-custodial process.

Why is Stakin a great choice for $MON staking?

Staking your assets on your own is operationally challenging as it requires specialist expertise to set up nodes and ensure constant uptime to maximize rewards or prevent so-called slashing: partial loss of your staked cryptocurrencies due to prolonged downtime, or inappropriate/malicious behavior by the node operator.
