Monad unveils its mainnet with Wormhole-powered Native Bridge, enhancing connectivity between its high-speed blockchain and Ethereum, offering seamless asset transfers.
The Monad blockchain has officially launched its mainnet, featuring a Native Bridge powered by Wormhole, according to Wormhole. This development connects Monad’s innovative 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) Layer 1 blockchain to Ethereum, enabling efficient asset transfers.
Seamless Asset Transfers
The Monad Native Bridge utilizes Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard and Axelar’s General Message Passing, creating a robust infrastructure for transferring assets like MON and ETH between Monad and Ethereum. This bridge facilitates immediate use across decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols without the complexities of wrapped assets.
Performance Breakthroughs
Monad’s architecture represents a significant advancement in blockchain technology, offering 800ms finality and near-zero gas fees while maintaining full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. Unlike Layer 2 solutions, Monad is built from the ground up with optimistic parallel execution and custom consensus mechanisms, enabling a truly decentralized network supported by consumer-grade nodes.
Infrastructure and Integration
The collaboration with Wormhole allows Monad to leverage a comprehensive multichain infrastructure. Wormhole’s solutions, including Wormhole Settlement, NTT, Connect, and Messaging, enhance Monad’s connectivity and utility, facilitating fast and secure multichain operations.
Addressing the Blockchain Trilemma
Monad’s integration with Wormhole addresses the blockchain trilemma of scalability, security, and decentralization. While Ethereum and EVM rollups offer limited TPS, Monad delivers 10,000 TPS with minimal hardware requirements, promoting widespread node participation. This integration enables the development of sophisticated multichain applications and strategies, benefiting institutional investors, DeFi protocols, and consumer applications.
