Frequently Asked Questions

What is Monad?
Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that delivers 10,000+ transactions per second with 1-second block times. It's EVM-compatible, meaning developers can deploy Ethereum applications without modification while benefiting from superior performance and lower costs.
How can I participate in the MON public sale?
The MON public sale runs from November 17th (9:00 AM ET) to November 22nd (9:00 PM ET). You can participate through the official token sale platform with a minimum bid of $100 and maximum of $100,000. Connect your wallet and follow the instructions to complete your purchase.
What is the MON token price and allocation?
MON tokens are priced at $0.025 per token during the public sale. The total supply is 100 billion MON, with 7.5 billion MON (7.5%) allocated for the public sale. Any unsold tokens will be transferred to Ecosystem Development.
When will MON tokens be unlocked?
Public sale tokens are 100% unlocked at mainnet launch with no vesting period. At launch, approximately 49.4% of total supply will be unlocked (including public sale, airdrop, and ecosystem allocation). Team and investor tokens have lock-ups with 1-year cliffs and will fully unlock by Q4 2029.
What makes Monad unique?
Monad achieves breakthrough performance through parallel execution, optimized consensus (MonadBFT), and innovative storage solutions. It maintains full EVM compatibility while delivering 10,000+ TPS and 1-second finality, making it ideal for high-frequency DeFi, gaming, and consumer applications.
How does MON token supply work?
MON has a dynamic supply model. New tokens are minted as staking rewards (25 MON per block, ~2% annual inflation), while the base component of all transaction fees is permanently burned. This creates a balanced tokenomics where supply adjusts based on network usage and staking participation.
Can locked tokens be staked?
No, locked tokens (team, investors, treasury) cannot be staked until they are unlocked. This design ensures that early staking rewards accrue to public circulation and ecosystem participants rather than insiders, promoting fair distribution and network decentralization.
What is the Validator Delegation Program?
The Monad Foundation will delegate 15-25 billion MON in the first year to validators through its Validator Delegation Program. This initiative helps secure the network, promotes decentralization, and supports a diverse validator ecosystem from day one of mainnet launch.
