monad 🟣
Monad is a Layer 1 blockchain fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), built from the ground up for high performance, scalability, and low transaction costs. Its key features include:
Full EVM Compatibility: Easily port Ethereum-based dApps to Monad with minimal code changes.
High Throughput: Capable of processing up to 10,000 transactions per second with 1-second finality per block.
Extremely Low Fees: Ideal for scalable applications like DeFi and blockchain-based games.
Low Hardware Requirements: Uses MonadDB to store state on SSDs instead of RAM, reducing node operation costs.
🧪 Using the Monad Testnet
Add Monad to Your Wallet: If you're using Phantom, OKX Wallet, or using warpcast wallet , the Monad testnet is added automatically. Otherwise, you can manually add it via https://testnet.monad.xyz.
Claim Testnet Tokens: Visit testnet.monad.xyz and enter your EVM wallet address to receive free testnet tokens via the faucet.
Test dApps: After receiving tokens, you can interact with dApps deployed on the Monad testnet. For example, Uniswap supports trading and liquidity provision on Monad’s testnet.
