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.

“挺不错的项目，DC社区成员皆有收获！谢谢monad”

“Gmonad bums”Monad is a vampire attack on Ethereum, which is fine I mean they can try. The way they went about it was to build a cult like community and to be fair, they succeeded. It was so cringe and over the top that CT made fun of them for years (for that and the running joke of a never happening Mainnet/TGE). The community is (was) also very, very large. Hundreds of thousands got lured by the promise of a fat airdrop and of something big. Why big? Because if the tech part of the project was kept in the background for a long time, Monad is a L1, not another late-to-the-party L2. When Testnet launched farmbots were ready. This combined with devs reaching 10k TPS made for fantastic vanity metrics. They raised 225m in a final round and expectations grew even larger. Fast forward to today and TGE. Ofc most Testnet users were left out and farmers are furious (understatement). More importantly though, they made the strategic decision to shower "high signal accounts" with tokens (even those who FUDed the project from day one) and worked their way down the social ladder. The most candid KOLs even expressed their surprise (ICO Beast is a legend). As @kaiynne put it: "Airdrops have devolved into a protection racket this cycle". So Monad farmed their community and rewarded those with nuisance power, using numerous criteria to distract from the simple truth. They wanted anyone with an onchain port of 100k+ on their good side. This however is just one part of my negative opinion of Monad. We are not going to discuss the tech stack or review code in a Ethos review and it is actually the ecosystem that is my biggest concern. Since Monad is "fully" EVM compatible it is entirely up to ETH builders whether they want to open shop on Monad. But why would they? Incentives? Some L2s have much deeper pockets and a good head start. The most predatory and least aligned ones might but how would that reflect on the chain itself? After antagonizing a big part of the community and rubbing memes in their faces I can't imagine Monad other than a complete ghost town a year from now. Perhaps if they made amends and focused on building a unique eco... Still my best case scenario is that Monad turns into a L2 eventually

“Overpromised, Undercommunicated”I’ve been watching Monad (mainnet arc) closely, and while the vision is bold, some execution gaps raise real concerns. Several roadmap milestones have been pushed back without clear explanations, which causes confusion among users trying to plan around key features. Transaction latency during peak usage sometimes spikes more than expected, undermining the “parallel execution” promise. Moreover, updates from the team tend to focus on long-term goals while glossing over short-term fixes and community feedback. If Monad wants to regain stronger trust, I’d like to see more consistent communication, clearer explanations for delays, and a sharper focus on stability in the near term.

“Newcomer with Grit — monad_xyz Has Room to Build”monad_xyz currently has no vouches / reviews and credibility marked Questionable app.ethos.network , so I approach with some caution. But there’s a baseline for respect: he has a profile, presence, and a platform to start from. What matters now is whether he backs claims with proof, doesn’t ghost, communicates clearly, and handles feedback well. If he proves consistency in small tasks, I’d be comfortable growing trust. For now, treat him as a moderate-risk but potentially rising user.

“Monad - scam”Monad was built with a critical purpose ; to deliver a blockchain that is fast, scalable, and highly decentralized. I often describe it as a smoother, faster, and stronger Ethereum. Since inception, the focus has always been on-chain fundamentals: wallets created, daily/weekly/monthly transactions, active users, and blockchain speed. Have you stopped to ask yourselves why Monad doesn’t prioritize Discord roles, follower counts, or "mindshare” statistics like other projects? The focus has always been on what happens on-chain; not off-chain theatrics. So why do you undermine those who keep this vision alive daily? Many testers spend hours; sometimes 1 to 8 hours every day, for over 185 days: stress-testing, experimenting, and engaging on-chain. Yet you position yourselves as superior because you post gym selfies, trade memes, or move between projects. Is that truly more valuable? Worse still, testers often spend their own money to acquire faucets just to keep contributing. Why should their investment of time, effort, and resources be dismissed, while others who only tweet “gm gmonad” endlessly are celebrated? What frustrates me most is the double standard. If your campaign against incentivization targeted everyone equally, yappers, role-holders, and casuals; it might at least appear principled. But no, it always falls hardest on testers: the most faceless, voiceless group, the easy scapegoats. Meanwhile, those holding special roles continue to allocate fortunes for themselves while arguing testers deserve nothing.

“Gmonad”One of the best community on web 3

“Fast chain”have doing testnet in few weeks in monad chain and its awesome. i have never get failed tx even using lower fee. I think monad will be a game changer, connecting solana and evm people in web3.

“cool tech, weak treatment of people”Monad has tech worth talking about, and I believed the vision when joined. But my experience as a tester, participant didn’t match the message. Felt like small contributors were left in the shadows, while the big announcements kept rolling. For a highprofile chain, being fair to the people who gave time and effort isn’t optional, think it’s essential. Subjectively, am not very happy with the attitude but objectively the team and network are above average, but for some reason it seems to me that in a very short time Monad will become a ghostchain

“One of the Best Web3 Community.”I would say this is one of the web3 community for me. They didn't only develop Monad Chain with the fastest and secure, but focusing on Monad's communities around the world. Thank you Monad Team.

“Unfair project”Monad honestly leaves a pretty bad aftertaste now, and it’s not just market noise. The airdrop was rough — testnet users basically got shafted, people who actually spent time testing the network were mostly ignored. Same story with X creators: a lot of folks talked about Monad early and didn’t really get rewarded in any meaningful way. The Coinbase listing was kinda meh too, no real momentum there. Right now it feels like the community was treated more like a tool than a partner — we’ll see if they manage to fix that, but for now it’s a bit of a letdown.
