Question 1

What is Monad?

Accepted Answer

Monad is a Layer 1 blockchain that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It is designed for fast, low-cost transactions through parallel execution and by separating transaction ordering from execution. Developers can reuse Ethereum-style smart contracts and tools.

Question 2

Is Monad EVM-compatible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Monad is EVM-compatible, so contracts written for Ethereum can generally be deployed on it with little change. This is why many multichain protocols, such as Aave V3, Uniswap V4 and Euler V2, list Monad among their supported networks.

Question 3

What is the MON token used for?

Accepted Answer

MON is Monad's native token. It is used to pay network transaction fees and is tied to the chain's validator and staking system. Check the official Monad documentation for current token details before you buy or use it.

Question 4

How much value is locked in Monad DeFi?

Accepted Answer

At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Monad is about $928 million. That figure changes daily, so treat it as a snapshot. Lending and vault-based products account for much of the activity among the dApps we list.

Question 5

Which dApps are available on Monad?

Accepted Answer

Our directory lists 110 dApps on Monad. They include lending protocols like Aave V3, Morpho Blue, Euler V2 and Curvance, the DEX Uniswap V4, and vault and curator platforms such as Veda, Upshift and Steakhouse Financial. Bridges like LayerZero V2 and USDT0 also support the chain.

Question 6

Are Monad dApps safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many dApps here are multichain, so listing Monad does not mean every feature is live on it. Smart contracts carry risks such as bugs, depegs and bridge failures, so check each dApp's own documentation, audits and supported networks, and never put in more than you can afford to lose.
