Layer 1

Monad

A high-performance, parallel EVM layer 1.

An EVM-compatible chain that runs transactions optimistically in parallel while keeping the results of serial execution, separates execution from consensus (MonadBFT), and stores state in a custom database (MonadDb). Existing Solidity contracts and Ethereum tooling work unchanged.

How does Monad make the EVM parallel?

Monad runs transactions optimistically in parallel and re-executes conflicts while committing in order, executes after consensus instead of during it, and uses MonadDb for parallel state reads. Gas is charged on the limit.
