What is Monad?

Monad is a blockchain platform crafted as an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 1 scaling solution. It provides complete compatibility with the EVM, enabling users and developers to interact with existing applications within the Ethereum ecosystem effortlessly. Monad is built with a strong emphasis on scalability and decentralization, capable of processing up to 10,000 transactions per second.

What is staking?

Proof-of-Stake protocols use staking to create consensus. By locking native tokens into a validator - or indexers on Monad blockchain -, you earn the right to secure a chain and earn rewards on your stake. Due to its environmental efficiency, staking has overtaken mining and is used far more often in newer protocols. 

By locking a protocol’s native tokens to give “validators” the right to secure a chain. Validators propose new blocks or attest other validators’ blocks, gaining rewards for doing so.

Why should you stake your assets?

Staking is one of the safest and most predictable ways to get rewarded in the crypto space as the value originates from the blockchain’s native currency inflation, and a share of transaction fees. You help secure the network and earn rewards by staking your Monad coin.

If you do not stake, your assets token share will be diluted among other people’s tokens that are being staked and accumulating new tokens into the network.

You can stake your Monad coin as well as other (d)PoS cryptocurrencies to:
  • 1
    Put your treasury to work
  • 2
    Diversify and earn
  • 3
    Bring new opportunities by enabling your users to earn staking rewards
