Would you mind giving us some of your thoughts on Monad? I've now seen this mentioned a few times here and there, I understand that this is an L1 with a live testnet with improvement to speeds/ security, etc... How is this different to all of theses other chains?
Monad is rebuilding the EVM from scratch for the idea of parallel processing and pipelining. Basically improving the capacity for an EVM chain to process more txs. Monad is run by a super smart team of ex-Jump Traders as well. They were basically trading on Ethereum for awhile and said “We need more speed!” And they were given like $200M+ to build it by some of the top investors in crypto. Full disclosure: i worked on the monad go-to-market in 2023 while at scrib3 and have also worked with a top monad project called Levr which is the first leverage sports betting platform around. What I can say is that Levr was unable to achieve its full capcity on other chains, they just broke. Monad’s infrastructure makes it happen. Hard to say if Monad will be a barnstormer chain, but its built for high-frequency txs and improving the overal ethereum experience.
Thanks for the episode and DeFi updates as well.
