Monad is a high-performance EVM-compatible Layer 1 with impressive technical architecture—parallel execution, 10,000 TPS target, and low latency—that has attracted a passionate community and strong funding. However, the project is deeply polarized: supporters praise the tech, speed, and community bonds formed during testnet, while a substantial portion of the community feels betrayed by the airdrop distribution, which heavily favored influencers and external crypto participants over testnet users who spent months testing and providing feedback. The core tension centers on broken trust—many early supporters view the tokenomics as extractive and the community rewards as unfair, with testnet participants receiving minimal allocation despite their contributions, while others remain bullish on the technical foundation and long-term potential.

“Amazing account”

ChartFu猴子 · 1514· 1y ago10

“Full of Forks”There is no unique dapp. Just grant hunter evm forks. Heavily VC funded. Probably they'll dump on us so hard. Engagement bait tweets from main accounts and growth team. They are just not serious people. Also they are using bots for main account's tweets lol. And yeah... not fast enough, failed txs and slow blocks.

“Groundbreaking potential”Testnet kicked off to some really bright start some weeks ago and I'm definitely excited for what's to come! The manner in which the team have associated with and led the community on is nothing short of exemplary and similar community building models should be adopted.

“monad the most best good tech”i know you going to say monad is worst, but beside execution its still good tech

“this is another L1 with great tech”Monad is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 that shows high-speed chains don’t have to be overly complex. It reaches around 10,000 TPS with near-instant finality and still allows Solidity contracts to run without modification. The design combines parallel execution, MonadBFT consensus, and MonadDB storage to remove many of Ethereum’s performance bottlenecks. The project is backed by Paradigm and has recently partnered with Chainlink to bring oracles such as Data Feeds, Data Streams, and CCIP to its testnet, giving developers faster and cheaper access to reliable on-chain data.

“Scammers”This is far the most useless and wicked founders in this space. After months of testing their dapp, yet i wasn't eligible. I seriously wasted my time and even my money. I'm being pained honestly 😭😔

“Обіцянки і результати”Monad was considered one of the most promising projects in 2025. But it ruined everything with just one move, not distributing the drop to testers. That's why strong hate began, and they didn't do well on the market and didn't continue to exist on it. It is not necessary to distribute a huge drop, but at least a basic one should be given to continue peaceful existence, but Monad decided to give the drop only to those who are definitely people, SEO logic. How can we know that these thousands of wallets are real people? There's no way, but if you don't give a drop even to the best testers who were there from the beginning, and you give a drop for roles in DS and Twitter, then as a result you will get a very bad reputation, but a living product that no one will use.

“soon to witness one of the most anticipated L1s”In the current outlook, Monad was designed as one of the fastest and scalable infrastructure with strong community while gaining a massive mindshare on CT with their airdrop distribution strategy through checker, 3 days of reveal, and a ticket to deem for MON as someone who have witnessed various alternative L1s in the past, I would say that we're still pretty early to see how monad is going to perform after mainnet launch and how the ecosystem will drive strategic growth and sustainably maintain user retention no bias or criticism here since I wish Monad a big success and hope to see the community continue their supports to monad ecosystem on mainnet I'll be updating my review after we get to see mainnet and ecosystem performance

“Disappointed with Monad’s Mainnet (Arc) Launch 💔”After over a year of supporting the testnet — contributing feedback, running nodes, and helping the ecosystem grow — it’s really disappointing to see Monad launch Arc without any acknowledgment or airdrop for its early testnet contributors. Many of us invested our time, effort, and resources genuinely believing in Monad’s vision. Ignoring the community that helped build and test the network feels like a huge letdown. Transparency and community rewards are the backbone of trust in Web3 — sadly, Monad seems to have missed that mark this time

“The Star of 2025”With its speed, broad ecosystem, and strong community, I have no doubt that Monad will be the biggest launch of 2025. They delivered the smoothest testnet experience I’ve seen. Every transaction felt like I was already on mainnet. NFTs are ready, activity across dapps is solid, Monad mainnet loading.

“Community blockchain”What's happening with Monad is a perfect storm of great tech and an even better community. While its promise of insane transaction speeds and low fees gets a lot of attention, the real story is its strong, independent community. They have this infectious, positive energy that's attracting builders and users alike. You can see the proof in the pudding: the ecosystem is exploding with new dApps, not because of some top-down corporate push, but because the community itself is driving the growth from the ground up. It shows what happens when a project empowers its users instead of just marketing to them

“Few understand”I'm not gonna say something cheesy for the sake of it or because I'm part of the community for 1 year and a half, but I do think a lot of people don't understand what Monad ent it's ecosystem are building. I read some negative reviews and the vast majority cruelly lack of objectivity. Monad is a 100% evm compatible blockchain able to achieve 10k tps while not sacrificing network's decentralisation (161 validators right now on the testnet). Anyone meeting the hardware requirements (which are pretty low, by the way) can run a node in their bedroom, half-naked. Again, decentralisation is something the Monad team has always cared about. Well, on the community side, anyone involved enough can shape their own career and brand in the space and get plenty of opportunities. Obviously, i'm not saying that it's exclusively thanks to Monad, let's be real, you'll have to get the shit done, but Monad is a great playground for anyone searching for moving up a gear in our industry, whether as a CM, designer, trader, or whatever you want to do. Also, i would like to expand a bit more and tell you how Monad is standing out compared to its competitors on multiple sides: 1- DeFi: Monad is the first EVM chain supporting the CLOBs, allowing the DeFis users to trade at minimal slippage by aggregating limit orders for deep liquidity and tight bid-ask spreads. 2- Consumer apps: don't really need to expand on it, think everyone knows how important consumer apps are for the long-term retention, and Monad has a lot of them: RBS, Nomlo, Opinionlabs, Lootgo 3- The chain is stable: redesigning the EVM components from scratch is hard work, and yeah I agree it tooks a while and that's also what makes people sidelined being bearish (but who actually cares?). However, Monad testnet has been incredibly stable, except some issues with the RPC according to what the engineer team explained, we never experienced, as users or builders, any issues. It's been almost 4 years since I'm in this space, and i tried a lot of different testnet/mainnets, and it's indeed incredibly hard to have something stable on day 1. But Monad did it, hats off... 4- Ecosystem/builders incubation: Monad led MACH1 & 2 a few months ago, an incubator program for the builders, allowing them to be advised and get access to insightful resources and help from the team to build their product. 5- Community incubation: Monad understood how to build a long term community without incentives or grinding requests. They just incubated us. It really just means they took the time to make sure we're both involved offchain but also onchain. I do believe the vast majority of the previous communities from L1s, L2s or other big DeFi protocols just faded away is because they haven't been involved enough and haven't been incubated at all. it was mostly just about farming txs and waiting for (maybe) something at the end of the testnet. On that way, Monad did everything differently. If you want to be part of something, you're welcome in, it's not a gated community. Don't be that lazy guy crashing out in his room cause he used to get things in his plate even before putting himself at work. Just make the first step, and we will make sure to do the second one for you. You can just decide that today is the day you start to shape your own convictions, believe in something and play a long-term game by putting your time as collateral. We will find you, and if you're willing to, we will onboard you.
