Monad: Performance That Redefines EVM

Recently launched into mainnet on November 24, Monad stands out from existing Ethereum Layer 2 solutions and competing Layer 1s via its core innovation: Parallel Execution.

Traditional blockchains process transactions sequentially, creating a bottleneck. Monad executes thousands of transactions in parallel, only re-executing the rare conflicts, achieving 10,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality while maintaining 100% EVM compatibility.

Monad’s mainnet launch represents one of the most anticipated blockchain events of 2025. The network went live with remarkable momentum:​

• $269 million raised from over 85,000 participants in the public token sale on Coinbase​
• 3.3 billion MON airdropped to approximately 225,000 wallets rewarding testnet participants, DeFi users, and ecosystem contributors​
• 300+ applications ready at launch, including Uniswap, Curve, Aave, Morpho, and major DeFi protocols​
• Cross-chain bridge support from across EVM and Solana, and integrations with MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, and leading wallet providers.​

However, a key piece of the interoperability puzzle was still missing: seamless liquidity access from UTXO chains such as Bitcoin and leading non evm chains such as XRP, Dogecoin, Zcash and more.

Cross-Chain Access: Why THORSwap x Monad Changes Everything

New blockchain launches typically require users to navigate complex bridging processes: acquire ETH on mainnet, bridge to the new chain, manage wrapped assets, and wait for liquidity to develop. THORSwap eliminates this friction entirely.

Today on THORSwap, users can swap $BTC, $ETH (mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism), $SOL, $DOGE, $ZEC, $TRON, $BNB, $LTC, $NEAR, $POL, $OP and many stablecoins directly to $MON to participate in the ecosystem’s earliest opportunities, including but limited to:

• Access to Aave, Morpho, and lending markets
• Provide liquidity on Uniswap or PancakeSwap without touching centralized exchanges
• Explore Monad’s DeFi ecosystem including perps, launchpads, yields, NFTs, gaming and more

Native cross-chain swaps means a significantly larger share of crypto on-chain liquidity can now access Monad. This is particularly valuable after mainnet launch, when early participants are positioning for ecosystem incentives, yields, and DeFi opportunities.​

Pro tip: With Monad’s near-zero gas fees and sub-second finality, DeFi interactions that cost dollars on Ethereum mainnet cost fractions of a cent on Monad, making it ideal for active trading, yield farming, and frequent transactions.​

The Parallel EVM Revolution Meets Cross-Chain Innovation

With the launch of mainnet, Monad completed its technical mission: 10,000 TPS, sub-second finality, EVM compatibility, institutional infrastructure are all live and validated by impressive on-chain metrics.​

What comes next is ecosystem growth, and that begins with accessibility. Native cross-chain swaps through THORSwap removes onboarding friction for users on Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, Zcash and beyond, enabling direct access to Monad’s ecosystem without reliance on centralized exchanges, wrapped assets or multiple intermediaries.​

Whether you’re a DeFi trader seeking faster execution, a developer exploring Monad’s capabilities, or an early adopter positioning for ecosystem growth, cross-chain access through THORSwap opens possibilities for Monad that simply didn’t exist before.
