Most launches come and go quietly.
Monad did not.

It stepped into the market with pressure already building behind it.
A sold-out sale.
A long-waited mainnet.
And thousands of eyes watching every second of Day One.

Then the switch flipped.

Monad’s mainnet and MON token went live on November 24th, 2025.

Roughly 10.8% of the full 100 billion supply entered circulation at launch.
The public sale allocation.
The early community distributions.
All released exactly as scheduled.

The sale price sat at $0.025.
Mainnet activated around 14:00 UTC.
And within moments, MON was in full price discovery.

No delays.
No staged rollout.
Just a clean start and an immediate market reaction.

MON opened trading near the sale price.

A move into the low $0.03s came quickly.
So did the first retrace.

Early unlocked supply hit the market.
Price dipped into the low $0.02s.
Then the buyers stepped in.

By mid-session, MON traded near $0.036.
A strong recovery.
A clear signal of demand.

Volume across exchanges surged throughout the day.
Not thin.
Not forced.
Real, global activity.

Monad didn’t launch on a single platform.
It launched everywhere.

Day One listings included:

Coinbase
Bybit
Upbit
Bithumb

Coverage across the United States, Europe, and Asia within hours.

On the decentralized side, MON was live immediately on:

• Jupiter — MON was tradable through bridged liquidity routes on Day One.
• ChangeHero (instant-swap) — Supported buy/swap of MON immediately.
• Other instant-swap / aggregator services — Several supported MON from launch.

Users could enter or exit positions without friction.
A rare setup for a first-day L1 token.

Monad launched fully EVM-compatible.
That alone changed the experience.

No custom tools.
No new wallets to learn.

Day One support included:

MetaMask
Phantom
Backpack
Uniswap Wallet
OKX Wallet
Hardware support from D’CENT and OneKey

Users could hold MON, transfer MON, and interact with the chain the moment it went live.

The community reaction was loud, mixed, and highly engaged.

Some praised the rollout.
The listings.
The liquidity.
The chain stability.

Others focused on the price action.
The early dip.
The quick recovery.
The unexpected strength.

But a noticeable part of the conversation centered on expectations.

Leading up to launch, many community members amplified claims about performance.
Some expected immediate throughput demonstrations.
Some assumed early benchmarks would appear on Day One.
They didn’t.

The chain launched cleanly.
It launched accessibly.
But it did not publish or display real-time TPS numbers on Day One.

And the community called that out.

Not as an attack.
Not as FUD.
Just a request for transparency that often follows any major L1 debut.

The overall tone remained clear:

The launch was smooth.
The access was broad.
The execution was coordinated.

But users want data.
And they will continue asking for it.

Monad delivered one of the most accessible and globally coordinated Layer-1 launches of 2025.

Broad exchange support.
Immediate on-chain access.
Full wallet integration.
Strong first-day liquidity.

The market will decide what happens next.
But Day One proved one thing:

People showed up.
Liquidity followed.
And Monad did exactly what it said it would do — launch cleanly.

What comes after this depends on execution, transparency, and how fast the ecosystem grows around it.

But as far as Day One goes, Monad made its entrance.

Most people wait for confirmation.
Monad showed its hand on Day One.
