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.

“Unfair Token Distribution Leaves Community Behind”I was genuinely interested in this project from the early days and, like many others, contributed during the testnet and initial community phases. The project’s growth and visibility were largely driven by community participation. However, the final token allocation has been disappointing. Almost the entire supply is reserved for presales and the team, with only a very small percentage allocated to the community. This makes it feel as though the contributions of users were not valued, and the distribution lacks transparency and fairness. I hope the team addresses these concerns and adopts a more community-oriented and equitable approach moving forward.

“Airdrop Security Failure”The Monad team failed its community by not securing official channels (e.g., Telegram) from sophisticated phishing ads during the critical Airdrop claim period. This lack of control over key communication points is a significant oversight, forcing users to navigate serious security risks. A project with this high a profile must demonstrate superior security management. This failure severely compromises the project's long-term credibility.

“sözde purple eco”Monad sözde kendini purple ekosistemine konumlandırıp Wormhole ve Pyth'den drop aldıktan sonra kendisini destekleyenleri hatırlamak yerine belki de Monad'ın adını bile duymamış komunitelere airdrop yaptılar. Kendi adıma konuşmam gerekirse kriterlerinden bazıları Hyperliquid, Lighter ve Pendle kullanıcıs olmaktı. Hyperliquid airdropu almama, Lighter ve Pendle kullanıcısı olmama rağmen eligible olamadım. Sanırım kura çekerek belirlediler. Testnet kullanıcıları adına konuşacak olursam bu kadar kapalı kutu bir projenin testnet kullanıcılarını umursamayacağını tahmin ettiğimden hiç uğraşmamıştım ne yazik ki haklı çıktım. Aylarca verilen emekler boşa gitti yüzlerce insan için. Sonuç olarak sen komüniteni unutursan onlar da seni unutur Monad efendi.

“theft in the drop”Ethos was built for open discussion and I’m not the type to follow hype blindly. From day one, I knew Monad wasn’t a project I wanted to engage with. Now it’s clear why Projects that launch with too much noise often end up disappointing. I’m not saying Monad failed but it definitely messed up community inclusion. Testnet participants got nothing, while users active in other ecosystems like Hyperliquid got rewarded.

“. Community Disappointment over Airdrop & Rewards Distribution”Monad’s airdrop criteria have been criticized for being overly restrictive or unfair. For instance, many active community/testnet users report being excluded, while others less involved received allocations. This gives impression of favoritism, poor communication, or misalignment between labelling “active contributors” and the actual reward logic.

“Reward the strangers, ignore the believers”Monad doing an airdrop for everyone except their own community. Spent 8 months in Monad testnet, earned 1M NADS, solved puzzles, tested 100 apps…not eligible.

“disappointed by the fairness in monad’s airdrop”I really wanted to believe in Monad’s airdrop. I spent time testing, contributing, following protocols, doing tons of transactions, but I still didn’t qualify, even though a lot of others who barely engaged did. the criteria weren’t clear, and it’s frustrating when efforts feel ignored and it seems like the game rewards visibility or hype more than real work.

“A Breath of Disappointment: When Community Loyalty Is Ignored”I once believed in the promise of Monad as a community driven project, but recent moves have severely shaken that trust. The fact that the team excluded many loyal members from the airdrop despite their active engagement feels like a betrayal more than a strategy. It sends a message: We pick favorites, and others don’t even get a shot. This doesn’t feel like a misstep it feels like a pattern. If a project can turn its back on the people who built its foundation, that’s a red flag about how much it really values fairness, transparency, or long term growth.

“Monad , A High Throughput, EVM Compatible Layer 1”Monad is a PoS Layer‑1 blockchain designed to solve Ethereum’s speed and cost problems. Its core tech‑stack includes parallel transaction execution, deferred (order‑first) consensus, and a custom distributed state store called MonadDB. These innovations let the network process up to 10 000 TPS with roughly 1 second finality while keeping gas fees almost negligible. Because Monad is 100 % EVM‑compatible, developers can migrate existing Solidity contracts and use familiar tooling (MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry) without any code changes. Validators earn the native MON token, providing a clear economic incentive to secure the network.

“The next Big thing”Monad is headed for greatness. It is the next Big L1, bringing in speed and parallel execution. Also monad can comfortably perform 10,000 transactions per second. Adopt monad today.

“Больше, чем просто технология”Я пришел в Monad из-за технологии - параллельная обработка транзакций это будущее. Но я остался из-за сообщества. Редко где встретишь такое теплое и лояльное отношение. Команда не просто строит тир-1 блокчейн, она строит настоящий дом для своих пользователей. Чувствуется, что тебя ценят, и это мотивирует поддерживать проект всем сердцем.

“Solana Killer or Testnet Killer ? What do you think ?”very interesting testnet which are my the first true experience in testnets , i am amazed by a huge number of DApp projects here and i make each transactions with pleasure) i have some WL for nfts ( DN, Monadverse , 10kSquad , ExoSpirits ) and wait that they will cost everything ( for example i have "DN" which floor is 44,000 MON this is mach ) for me this is most biggest and massiv testnet in all history of testnets, everyone wait airdrop in end of september but my opinion is it will not before october, like we all know will be enought big supply (100 bilions) i cant say it make me happy or sad , my favorute apps - apriori , magma , Fastlane ( shmonad ) , monday trade , fantasy monad , Lumonad. i wish us all good luck with this testnet and good cook.... XD
