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.

“community = everything”The Monad project is a beacon of inspiration that will remain in my heart for years to come. Beyond a robust dApp ecosystem that caters to all Web3 enthusiasts, from the mainstream to the most niche, Monad’s true strength lies in its unwavering commitment to community, creativity, and empowerment. At the core of Monad’s philosophy is an innovative approach to community engagement, exemplified by the Monad Shark Tank, a weekly Discord event. The platform allows community members to view and provide feedback on new projects on the testnet, as well as create content about their experiences and compete for a weekly prize of 10,000 MON. Developers can submit their innovations by submitting applications, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas are tested, refined, and celebrated. This initiative not only encourages innovation, but also ensures that the community plays an active role in shaping the ecosystem. Monad further strengthens its community through a structured Discord role system that clearly reflects a member’s level of commitment and contribution. Roles like FA, OGnad, or Nads are more than just badges, they are symbols of dedication earned through active participation in discussions, events, or content creation. This gamified system incentivizes genuine participation by rewarding thoughtful contributors with increased authority and recognition, while fostering a sense of belonging and pride. The project’s passion for its community is evident in its support of creators. Artists and innovators are given a platform to showcase their work, while Monad promotes and amplifies their contributions on social media. Initiatives like Recognizer empower the community to self-regulate and highlight outstanding contributors, creating a culture of recognition and collaboration. Monad has brought together countless people from all walks of life, fostering friendships and common endeavors. As an active tester since day one, I have made meaningful connections with fellow Web3 developers that would not have been possible without the vibrant Monad ecosystem. Together, we are a force that creates and expands the Monad social and technological landscape, making it stronger and more inclusive every day.

“Most anticipated”Monad is currently the most anticipated L1 chain. The tech is exciting with high-perfomance. Though, it’s still in development and mainnet success depends on resolving testnet bugs and sustaining ecosystem growth.

“Neutral Side”I've been following Monad since 2024.. And what can i say is they have strong communities across the world and held many offline event for gathering the community.. I choose to be neutral because Monad testnet is already long enough without any confirmation date about the mainnet.. It can reduce the community enthusiast and hype.. But after all, i hope for the best for the project and their believers..

“Adopt monad”Monad changed my life. i have certainly achieved a lot just by being active in the ecosystem. ive made friends, built connections etc from scratch and w/o needing to know anybody. the team members are some of the most amazing people I've met. they're in the trenches w us everyday,vibing, taking and effecting our feedbacks etc. everybody who says monad is gated are saying so because they do not have roles but if we're being honest, monad is evm jesus.

“My birth place”This is where my online presence was created. Monad was the first real discord where i properly interacted and made my place. From poker tournaments, to online games, to private TG competitions. The whole Monad community was there for me.

“Disappointed The Community”Monad promoted itself to care about its community, but then decided to betray the community in the end, Selected only a handful from their community to be rewarded, but gave out most reward to people outside the community. The tech they are build is great and all but the community also matters

“lots of potential”looks every aspect of it is very intriguing. looking forward to the mainnet. already alot of builders.

“The beginning of the opening of the hallmark...”Yeah, I was hoping that after the brand was unveiled, I'd get at least something for my efforts on the project. It turned out to be a vampire attack—I'd heard that term before, but now I've experienced it firsthand. I understand there were a lot of wallets involved, but how could it be that the people who helped inflate the project's metrics every day weren't even given a kind word? After all the buzz about the project for the last six months, I wonder why we support projects at this early stage? They're just advertising themselves for free at our expense, the users. Yes, that's worth considering.

“why do we need another L1?”monad spent $250M and 3 years building a “performance” and the fastest chain they called it monad is slower than almost everything else. ethereum itself will match its 10k TPS with ZK tech. there's so many new chains are doing to compete on speed. you can just leverage ethereum's decentralization. monad is gonna be the biggest flop and also they have bad sentiment throught the airdrop lmfao why do we need alt-L1s again?

“Another VC incubated trash can that doesn`t have anything useful behind it.”Im not even saying about making non eligble all the real users and those who farmed that for 2 years. I`m saying about token distribution and too high premarket price. IT`s totally overvalued no useful tech and overhyped proj. I feel sorry for those who farmed that terrible project

“Monad Testnet Experience: An Inside Look”I followed the development of the Monad project with interest and actively participated in its testnet, as I believe parallel EVM technology is very promising. The team recently released a checker for TGE. Unfortunately, the check revealed that I did not meet the airdrop criteria. I was fully aware of the risks (R/R) and understood that participating in the testnet did not guarantee a reward. However, it seemed as if the token distribution criteria were more oriented toward other user groups rather than the early participants who helped test the network. This caused some confusion among some of the community, who expected their contributions to be recognized.
