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.

“Bye, monad, greedy scammers”I didn't expect such a dismissive attitude towards your truly loyal users. For nine long months, the community invested its energy and time in the ecosystem, and in the end, they were used and simply turned away. They shouted the loudest about how important community was to them, and more than any other project, they simply insulted everyone. Goodbye, Monad. I hope you'll be rewarded for all this...

“Extremely disappointing and unfair drop distribution”I’ve been in love with Monad since day one. I followed every single instruction on X — testing every app they mentioned, running countless transactions, spending hours grinding because I truly believed in the project. I gave it everything. And what did I get in return? Nothing. No drop. Meanwhile, some of my friends who spent months trashing the project are now getting rewarded — just because they happen to own a little penguin. This decision is beyond unfair. It completely kills the motivation of loyal supporters like me who actually helped build the hype and test the ecosystem. If this is how Monad rewards real contributors, then I seriously doubt the long-term integrity of their community and leadership.

“Adaletsiz sapkın bir topluluk Merkeziyetsizlik Söylemiyle Maskelenen Kayırmacılık: Bir Web3 Hayal Kırıklığı”Web3 öğrenme sürecimde ilk kez, bir ödül ya da rol uğruna insanların ne kadar sapkınlaşabileceğine bu proje sayesinde tanık oldum. Cüzdan sıralamam milyonlar arasında 270’lerde olmasına rağmen, Discord ve Twitter’daki yerel topluluklarda maruz kaldığım ego, dışlama ve kayırmacılık kabul edilebilir değildi. Kendi azınlık topluluğunu bile mutlu edemeyen, emeğin karşılığını adil şekilde dağıtamayan bir yapı görmedim. Bunu defalarca dile getirmeme rağmen, hakkımın yenildiğini açıkça hissediyorum. Üstelik bu durumun farkında olduğum için bazı kişilere, beni tanıdıklarını söylemeden yollarına devam etmelerini özellikle tavsiye ettim. Buna rağmen, benden çok daha az emek veren kişilere tavsiye usulü roller ve ödüller dağıtıldı. Bu noktada ister istemez şu soruyu soruyorum: Projenin asıl sahiplerinin bu yaşananlardan haberi var mı, yoksa proje tamamen teslim edildiği eller tarafından mı bu şekilde yönetiliyor? Bunu hâlâ çözebilmiş değilim. Merkeziyetsizlik iddiası altında, yalnızca birbirini destekleyen dar bir çevreye alan açan; şeffaflıktan uzak, kapalı ve merkezî bir yapı inşa edildiğine şahit oldum. Tavsiye ile rol dağıtmak, emeği değil ilişkiyi ödüllendirmek, merkeziyetsizliğin tam karşılığı değil de nedir? Bununla da sınırlı kalmadı. Ekip yöneticilerinin canlı yayınlarda kullandığı ahlak dışı üslup, airdrop kazanabilmek uğruna Telegram ve X’te yapılan aşırı, sapkın ve utanç verici paylaşımlar, benim kripto ve Web3 vizyonumla asla örtüşmedi. Kriptoyu; değer, özgürlük ve adalet üzerine kurulu bir alan olarak görürken, bu sürecin böylesi bir yozlaşmaya evrilmesi gerçekten sarsıcıydı. Bu yaşadıklarım, özellikle Monad ile birlikte kriptoya olan inancımın ciddi şekilde zedelenmesine neden oldu. Emek verenin değil, en çok bağıranın; katkı sunanın değil, doğru kişiyi tanıyanın kazandığı bir düzen, Web3’ün ruhuna ihanettir. Bu yazı bir karalama değil; kırgınlığımın, hayal kırıklığımın ve hakkımın yenildiğine dair güçlü bir eleştirinin ifadesidir. Umarım birileri bu satırları okur ve gerçekten merkeziyetsiz, adil ve ahlaklı bir topluluk inşa etmenin ne anlama geldiğini yeniden düşünür. Bu paylaşımı yapmak beni hala rahatlatmayacak çünkü çok basit ve anlaşılması mümkün olmayan mobinge maruz kaldığımı net biliyorum dilerim bu yazdıklarımı okuyan ve yaşadıklarıma tanık olan kişiler bunun doğruluğu hakkında destek vereceklerdir yada aldıkları az ödülle haksızlıklara göz yumacaklardır.

“Good founders & community”As a member its been bliss lol. No complain

“Why the @monad drop ended up feeling off for so many of us”Honestly, the whole @monad thing left me with a really weird feeling—like, there was a lot of noise, hype, and expectations were high, but the drop was completely off the charts, and a bunch of people who really tried didn't even make it, and you're sitting there like, "Well, why not, of course, but it all seems completely out of whack." I understand that everyone has their own criteria, but when half your feed keeps saying the same thing, you start to think something's seriously wrong. And it's a little annoying, to be honest, because I was expecting something different, and in the end, it feels like I wasted my time—not exactly a disaster, but it leaves a really bad aftertaste.

“community last”this project treats their community like shit

“Blockchain that dont value its community”L1 tech is good, but there are too many options. Monad doesn't value its community; they distributed allocations to everyone except true believers. Racist undertones and shady tokenomics—this project will likely dump its token on you. Pivot to Hyperliquid ASAP.

“from testnet to stable network”What I like most about Monad is their balance between technology and community. On the one hand, it’s a powerful L1 with high speed, parallel execution, and EVM compatibility, and on the other, a team that tries to make everything as clear as possible for users. I see that they are not chasing instant hype, but are building a foundation for long-term development. Yes, releases are delayed, but it’s better than rushing to release a “raw” product. For me, Monad is not just another fast network, but a chance to see how blockchain can really change the user experience: from cheaper transactions to adequate interaction with dApps. I sincerely believe that if they maintain this pace and approach, Monad has every chance to become one of the main players in Web3.

“The best project in the world”Monad isn't just a testnet; it's like a new planet where we're all building small civilizations. It has its own laws, heroes, spirit animals, and even Discord drama has value - it becomes part of the overall story. The blockchain itself feels like a blank sheet of paper, where you can draw anything: from memes to serious protocols. And that's the thrill - you see not just the technology, but the process of an ecosystem being born from scratch. For me, Monad isn't "waiting for the launch," but "we're already living inside it." And that's what sets it apart from hundreds of other projects that remain mere promises.

“Exciting chain”I am actually surprised to see this eco system getting so many negative reviews. I have enjoyed utilizing monad! The DeFi apps and NFT culture seems very strong.

“Purple culture”An L1 I am bullish on. The tech, team, community and the chain itself is a loving one. Made a lot of friends through monad and I believe they will break boundaries come mainnet. Gmonad

“Monad is a nextgen blockchain worth watching”Monad is shaping up to be a really exciting blockchain project. It’s focused on delivering high performance and scalability while keeping decentralization intact a tough balance to strike. What stands out is their innovative consensus design and developer-friendly environment, which could attract some serious apps and dev talent. The team seems committed to pushing boundaries without cutting corners. If you’re into Layer 1s that aim for real-world usability and growth, Monad definitely deserves a spot on your radar.
