Monad testing is online, how to interact?

Author: Asher, Odaily Planet Daily

The heavyweight project Monad, which raised $225 million led by Paradigm last April, is finally interactive. Last night, Monad announced on the X platform that the Monad Testnet is officially online and has sent test coins to over 8.8 million active Ethereum addresses.

The Monad Testnet is officially online

Next, Odaily Planet Daily will take you through the basic overview of Monad and how to participate in the Monad Testnet interaction as soon as possible.

Project Overview

Monad, developed by the Pyth and Solana teams over more than two years, is a high-performance L1 public chain compatible with Ethereum. According to the official documentation, Monad defines itself as a high-performance L1 that uses a PoS mechanism and is EVM-compatible, aiming to create a new paradigm for public chains through pipelined execution of Ethereum transactions. Its key innovations include MonadDB (a database designed specifically for accessing Ethereum states) and Optimistic parallel execution (ensuring high TPS with minimal overhead). Monad separates the consensus layer from the execution layer, further enhancing scalability and enabling developers to build applications that require exceptional performance and low latency.

Monad's groundbreaking advancements make it a powerful platform for enterprise-level applications, providing developers with the tools needed to create high TPS DApps while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum and embracing the future of blockchain innovation.

On the evening of April 9, 2024, Monad Labs announced the completion of a $225 million financing round at a valuation of $3 billion, led by Paradigm, with participation from Electric Capital and Greenoaks. As one of the most notable projects in the Layer 1 space, Monad, which focuses on the concept of "Parallel EVM," aims to introduce a parallel processing execution layer scaling solution that significantly improves network execution efficiency while being 100% compatible with all bytecode of EVM.
