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.

“Why I'm Excited About Monad”As one of the Monad OGs, I’ve been following this project since the early days, and it has been amazing to watch it grow. The progress they’ve made isn't just fast. It is focused, thoughtful, and clearly built on a strong vision. What I really appreciate is how Monad keeps things transparent. The team consistently shares clear and honest updates, and that builds real trust. It never feels like hype for the sake of attention. It feels like momentum backed by real work. Even from the beginning, it was obvious Monad was aiming for something bigger. The way they approach performance, scalability, and simplicity shows they aren't just trying to keep up. They are setting the pace. And they are doing it in a way that feels open and welcoming to the community. Being part of this journey early on has been exciting. Every step forward feels earned, and I’m genuinely proud to support the project. Monad isn't just another chain or another idea. It is something special, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

“A Game-Changer in High-Performance EVM-Compatible Layer 1”Monad is one of the most technically ambitious L1 projects I’ve come across, combining EVM compatibility with cutting-edge performance optimizations that set it apart from most other chains in the space. What makes Monad stand out: - Superscalar Pipelining: Inspired by modern CPU architecture, Monad processes multiple transactions in parallel within a single core, significantly boosting throughput. - Parallel Execution + Delayed Scheduling: Unlike other chains that process transactions immediately and sequentially, Monad groups and reorders them intelligently for maximum efficiency. - High TPS (10,000+) without Sacrificing Decentralization: Monad doesn’t rely on exotic consensus models or centralized validators to scale. It stays aligned with core crypto principles. - EVM Compatibility: This ensures seamless migration for Ethereum-native developers and projects, lowering adoption friction. Why I'm bullish: Monad doesn’t just promise scalability—it delivers it through a well-architected technical design rooted in real-world computer science principles. While many projects claim performance, Monad demonstrates it with a clear path toward practical high-speed execution while preserving the Ethereum developer experience. If Ethereum’s biggest bottleneck is performance, Monad feels like the most credible attempt to solve it—without compromising on decentralization or composability.

“next gen”think building a new evm from the ground up is a daunting task and one that takes time, talent, and commitment. as monad gets closer to seeing mainnet launch it has been bullish to see them build out many areas but also begin to supplement that by 'buying' as well that is evidenced in their acqusition of portal. monad is a longer term bet that is being built to provide the space with alternative options for the next generation of decentralized infra.

“Can’t wait for mainnet to go live”

“Parallel EVM Layer-1 Beast”so @Monad (x.com/monad) is building a next-gen Layer-1 chain with “parallel execution” for EVM smart contracts—10000 TPS, fast block times, full EVM compatibility. they wanna rework consensus + execution so devs don’t have to compromise. testnet is live.

“Great Layer 1 EVM”The @monad_xyz account is the public face of the Monad project, a Layer 1 blockchain built to combine full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and significantly superior performance in terms of throughput and efficiency. Through consistent communication, the account actively shares technical updates, collaboration announcements, and in-depth insights into the blockchain architecture they are developing, such as MonadBFT and parallel execution to process thousands of transactions per second. Beyond serving as the official project spokesperson, the @monad_xyz account also emphasizes a developer-friendly approach, opening opportunities for builders to start building mini-apps and dApps directly on their testnet, including early integration with Farcaster. With its professional and informative communication style, the account plays a crucial role in building public expectations for the mainnet launch and maintaining enthusiasm among the Web3 community and investors who have supported Monad in major funding rounds with Paradigm, Dragonfly, and Placeholder. Through this account, Monad creates a narrative that high scalability doesn't have to come at the expense of decentralization or developer experience—a promise they aim to deliver on through a modern and efficient monolithic blockchain design.

“Hype is not strength”Monad is building a great and cool layer1 EVM Compatible blockchain solution. I also love the projects that are under the monad ecosystem, they're very interesting, interactive and engaging but there's one thing to take note which is very vital. Hype does not incur strength, strength comes from community backings, investors and overall the project team. I promise you guys if monad doesn't do well, then all the projects under the monad ecosystem will be shit! Monad should really focus and draft out a good tokenomics, I'm looking forward to the next blockchain that will overtake solana, bnb and ethereum.

“when True Fans Are Overlooked”They promoted Testnet for 9 months and introduced numerous apps and websites. They sent NFTs to around 600,000 people but only included 5,500 of them. They airdropped 255,000 people who had no activity on their network mostly active users from other networks and holders of popular NFTs while ignoring their real users who had played a significant role in introducing the network and increasing its transactions.

“I love monad”

“Overhyped Promises”Monad was one of the most promising L1 few months ago but they chose to reward ct KOL instead of their core community members doubt the chain still have traction after tge

“5500 Community Member”Jujur, aku mendapatkan alokasi airdrop Monad di waktu itu, sekitar di bulan November 2025. Aku mendapatkan alokasi dari eligible untuk Discord Account. Dari dalam hati, tentunya ada perasaaan kecewa, dikarenakan wallet ku selalu berinteraksi dengan Monad Testnet semenjak 24 Februari 2025 hingga H-1 mainnet. Tetapi aku tidak eligible lewat jalur wallet. Terlebih lagi banyak diantara teman-temanku yang sama sama mengikuta tesnet Monad juga tidak eligible. Monad testnet is hyped, very hyped, but the community already disappointed dengan apa yang telah terjadi di hari official airdrop eligible checker. Aku tidak ingin mengulas secara negatif, namun aku juga tidak mau meninggalkan kesan 100% positive.

“I'm changing my mind”I was bearish af because Monad is just another L2 with no real purpose and everyone will forget it in few months after TGE. But their airdrop move changed everything. They just ignored "dedicated" sybils spamming txs on testnet. Simply perfect, I like it. Hope Monad will find its place in L2 list, otherwise I'm sad for investors.
