Monad Is Live Across the TrustSwap Ecosystem
Monad support is now live across the TrustSwap ecosystem.
That means builders on Monad can lock liquidity, vest team and investor allocations, and distribute tokens through Team Finance today. It means holders can track Monad tokens and portfolios inside The Crypto App. It means the TrustSwap Launchpad is open to Web3 projects building on Monad. And it means there is a dedicated Monad Hub on TrustSwap.com with the guides you need to get from testnet to a launched, locked, trackable token.
Here is what's live, and why Monad is worth your attention.
What Monad actually is
Monad is a Layer 1 blockchain built on a simple premise: the Ethereum Virtual Machine is the industry's default execution environment, and the problem was never the EVM itself — it was the client software running underneath it.
Most chains chasing performance asked developers to abandon the EVM entirely, learn a new language, adopt a new toolchain, and rewrite audited contracts from scratch. Monad took the opposite approach. It is fully EVM bytecode-compatible and Ethereum RPC-compatible, so a Solidity contract that compiles for Ethereum deploys on Monad without modification. Hardhat, Foundry, ethers.js, MetaMask, and the rest of the tooling stack work as they already do.
What changed is everything below the execution layer. Monad rebuilt the client from first principles around four core innovations:
Optimistic parallel execution. Rather than processing transactions one at a time, Monad executes them concurrently, assuming they don't touch the same state. When a conflict is detected, the affected transaction is re-executed with corrected inputs. The end result is identical to sequential execution — the ordering guarantees developers depend on are preserved — but the hardware is no longer idling through a single-file queue.
Asynchronous execution. Monad decouples consensus from execution. Validators reach agreement on block ordering first and execute afterward, which removes execution from the critical path of the consensus deadline and dramatically widens the time budget available for computation.
MonadBFT. A pipelined Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism with linear communication complexity, optimistic responsiveness, and tail-fork resistance — designed so that a leader failure doesn't roll back blocks that users have already seen.
MonadDb. A purpose-built state database that stores the Merkle Patricia Trie natively and uses asynchronous I/O to keep parallel execution fed. Most "fast" chains bottleneck on state access rather than compute; MonadDb is the answer to that problem.
Mainnet went live on November 24, 2025, with roughly 400ms block times, sub-second finality, and testnet throughput demonstrated above 10,000 transactions per second. MON is the native gas and staking asset. The chain launched with major infrastructure already in place — MetaMask and Phantom wallet support, Uniswap, Curve, and native USDC and USDT among them — and the ecosystem has expanded steadily since.
For builders, the value proposition is unusually clean: keep your code, keep your tooling, keep your auditors, and get an order-of-magnitude performance improvement on the execution layer. That combination is why we prioritized Monad.
Team Finance supports Monad
Team Finance now supports Monad across the full product suite.
Token locking, liquidity locking, team and investor vesting schedules, and multisender distributions all work on Monad exactly as they do on the other chains we support. If you are launching on Monad, you can lock your LP tokens and publish a verifiable, on-chain proof of that lock before you announce anything.
This matters more than it sounds. Liquidity locking is the single most legible trust signal a new token can offer, and it is the first thing serious buyers, aggregators, and listing venues look for. Team Finance has secured billions in value across more than a dozen chains and has become the reference implementation for locked liquidity in DeFi. Bringing that to Monad on day one means new projects don't have to choose between a fast chain and a credible trust story.
Vesting is the same argument extended over time. Cliff and linear vesting schedules enforced by contract — not by promise — are what convert an allocation table in a deck into something an investor can actually verify.
The Crypto App tracks Monad
The Crypto App now supports Monad token tracking.
If you are holding, trading, or watching tokens on Monad, they show up alongside the rest of your portfolio — prices, charts, market data, and the news feed that has made The Crypto App one of the most widely used crypto apps in the world, with millions of downloads across iOS and Android.
Chain support in a portfolio tracker is one of those things that sounds mundane until it's missing. A new chain with no wallet-tracking coverage forces holders into block explorers and spreadsheets, and that friction suppresses participation. Monad users don't have that problem in The Crypto App.
The TrustSwap Launchpad is open to Monad projects
The TrustSwap Launchpad is now accepting applications from Web3 projects building on Monad.
We are looking for teams with real products, credible technical execution, and a reason to be on a high-throughput EVM chain specifically — order books, on-chain games, perp venues, high-frequency DeFi primitives, consumer applications with transaction volumes that would be uneconomic elsewhere. Monad's performance profile unlocks categories of application that simply do not work on slower execution layers, and those are the projects we most want to help bring to market.
A TrustSwap launch comes with the full stack: token generation, vesting infrastructure, liquidity locking, exchange and market-maker relationships, and distribution to a community that has been evaluating token launches since 2020.
If you are building on Monad and considering a raise, apply through our contact form. We review every submission.
The Monad Hub
We have built a dedicated Monad Hub on TrustSwap.com — guides covering what Monad is, how its architecture works, how to bridge and get started, how to deploy, and how to use TrustSwap's tooling on the chain.
It is written for two audiences at once: developers evaluating Monad as a deployment target, and users who want to understand what they are interacting with. If you are new to the chain, start there.
Why we're leaning in
TrustSwap's thesis has not changed since 2020. New chains attract capital faster than they attract trust infrastructure, and that gap is where retail participants get hurt. Our job is to close it early — to make sure that by the time a Monad ecosystem is at full velocity, the locking, vesting, tracking, and launch tooling is already mature, already audited, and already familiar.
Monad is one of the most technically credible attempts to scale the EVM that we have seen. We would rather be there at the beginning.
Explore the Monad Hub, lock your liquidity on Team Finance, track your portfolio in The Crypto App, and if you're building — talk to us.
