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.

“Great Tech, Poor Community Focus”Monad's team and EVM compatible blockchain are undeniably strong, building an ecosystem many can't rival. However, technical excellence isn't enough. Prioritizing private groups for rewards and airdrops undermines decentralization, alienating the wider community. Without pushback, this raises red flags. Like Eigen Layer, Monad risks fading as influencers dump tokens early. To succeed, it must prioritize genuine community engagement over exclusive distributions.

““Promising Chain with Real Momentum””Monad has managed to capture strong community attention with its technical depth and clear focus on scalability. The parallel execution and blazing transaction speed on the EVM testnet make it one of the most impressive Layer-1 projects in development right now. What stands out most is how the team communicates progress while maintaining realistic expectations — they’re not just hyping features but actually delivering performance that developers can test and verify. If Monad continues at this pace, it could easily become one of the leading high-throughput chains in the coming cycle.

“Forever purple”I have no idea what is Monad about but I know that this mainnet is one of the most Hyped right now. I personally have a wl for a project on Monad, let's see what will happen, will I become rich. I wish the team really successful launch

“Great project”Мне очень понравилась сеть монад, а особенно когда запустился фентези на монаде, я считаю это было одно из лучших решений, все остались в плюсе, и хайп для монада и для фентези, и плюшки для обычных игроков, а также знакомство с новой сетью

“Interest tech blockchain Project, Interest projects that create a new generation of builder.”I first found out about Monad because of their tech is very interesting, especially when Layer2 blockchains were starting to lose hype. Then the Wormhole airdrop happened and suddenly everyone was talking about it. From there, Monad just kept building and improving non-stop, and now it’s almost ready for full launch (or mainnet). Around the end of 2024, I started hanging out in the Monad community. At first, it was all about the tech purpose. but later, it turned into random conversation about food, daily life, and just everything. Over time, I got close with a bunch of people there. It became one of those places that just feels comfortable to be in. Monad also gave me chances to do new stuff eg. making content related to the project, helping organize events, and learning a lot through contributing. Honestly, it’s been a pretty awesome journey. Grateful for Monad for being part of my growth

“New Home”Monad is a new home of many people who try to growing his personal branding and connections. And its right! I met many new people here and they are very cool tho. But yeah, just like other. Something more attracted people, will always come a bad side on it. Whatever it is, just doing our best to build what we belive. Because negative mind will never give you positive life. Gmonad.

“Monad The Next Big L1”Monad is a chain that takes performance really seriously. The core team comes from high frequency trading (Jump Trading), so they know how to build super fast systems. Because of that, Monad is designed to be insanely quick, with up to 10,000 TPS, 1-second blocks, and almost instant finality, perfect for things like DeFi, games, or NFTs where speed matters a lot. The dev team isn’t just building in their own bubble either. People like Keone, James, and Eunice are very active, sharing research and contributing back to Ethereum too, that makes it feel like they care about the bigger ecosystem, not just Monad. The community is also very active. There are testnets to try out, the Mach accelerator to support new projects, and more and more dApps coming in from DeFi to memecoins, games, and even infra tools. It feels like the ecosystem is growing step by step, not just sitting around. What I really like is the vibe in the community, on Discord and X, everyone seems to help each other devs, content creators, or just people who like to yap. If you want to contribute, it’s not hard: join the testnet, create some content, or help small projects, and you actually get recognized with roles. It makes you feel like part of the build. Monad is still on the way, but with a strong dev team and a very active community, it feels solid. If the mainnet goes live as planned, I think this will be a really fun and exciting chain to be part of.

“Monad is pushing boundaries in L1 innovation”I’ve been following Monad for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed by what they’re building. The team’s focus on parallel execution and optimizing for scalability without sacrificing decentralization feels like a real step forward for blockchain infrastructure. Beyond the tech, what really stands out is the community there’s a sense of excitement and collaboration that’s hard to ignore. Monad isn’t just another project in the space; it feels like they’re laying the groundwork for the next wave of dApps and developers. If they continue delivering at this pace, Monad has the potential to become one of the most important Layer 1s in the ecosystem

“A high-performance EVM network with great potential”But there are, of course, also risks. The thing is that optimistic sharding is used for scaling. And this is the risk of deception, which will be missed... In general, the blockchain is interesting, because it is very fast and has a developed (already during the testnet) ecosystem. Of course, there is nothing particularly catchy that could keep a user in the blockchain, but there are all chances for this in the future. For example, PERP dex can play such a role. I recently wrote in another review that I doubt that people will use Mega ETH for performance, switching from other Ethereum L2 or Solana. It's the same problem. But L1 has a better chance due to the ability to fund development with its own token and investments.

“That very project that…”In this project, I’m basically an OG user, and I wanted to share my thoughts about it and why right now it’s not exactly enjoying the best buzz. I started digging into the ecosystem literally within hours of the announcement. Back then, I grabbed some tokens from the faucet, bought a bunch more on the official site, flipped them pretty well, and to this day I’m still living off those gains ^-^ The biggest win for this project is that its ecosystem is super diverse — from NFT marketplaces to DeFi and trading platforms with staking. People are experimenting, testing strategies, and the user base is growing. BUT… time is ticking, and folks are slowly getting tired, waiting for the mainnet launch. I’m the same — just sitting on Magic Eden, staring at the Monad collection tab, counting the days until it finally drops. So yeah — this is that project that built a solid, well-organized ecosystem, hyped up the space, but right now is going through a bit of a rough patch in the narrative department. The current meta is all about quick listings and instant x’s, and this long wait isn’t exactly helping. They did post on Twitter that 2025 is the year it’s all happening, but they shouldn’t drag it out too long — competition’s not sleeping.

“Monad - Will It Revolutionize L1?”Probably one of the longest products not coming to TGE, at the moment I consider the community of this product one of the most organic on the market, and the ecosystem is very pleasant At the very beginning of the testnet, I identified about 100 projects in which I participated, now at the end of July there are 8 main protocols, a wallet, several exchanges, LST, launchpad and alpha NFT collections I wonder what the listing of Monad will be, will it reach 5 billion FDV or will it fail?

byArto · 1304· 1y ago16

“we are all bullish on Monad”because of a potential airdrop, but wwhat wes hould really care is what it's been built over there. Is there actual value? Or just max extractors?
