To the person who predicted that Monad will flop on launch (whose opinions I generally respect, btw): You might be right, Monad might flop on launch. It might flop because our team is building everything from scratch. Everything is new and performant; nothing is forked, so everything has to be tested very very carefully The performant EVM is not a reth fork The high consensus throughput comes from a completely new consensus mechanism, and from tons of optimization at the networking layer. (An incredible paper is coming soon from researchers MJ and KB; it improves upon the frontier commit latency & adds resilience to classes of MEV attacks that historically have affected this kind of algo). Nodes are fully geographically decentralized, this isn't throughput through colocation The database is completely new and substantially improves the performance of EVM parallelism On top of that there are tons of other interesting features at the networking (block propagation, mempool propagation, state sync) and execution (parallel EVM, retry reduction, JIT compilation) layers Our team is highly motivated to deliver these techs right the first time, which means writing a ton of new, highly optimized C++ and rust code Which ALSO means testing the code very very thoroughly. Because everything is from scratch -- because Monad derives performance from software rather than hardware or colocation -- it is like flying a plane at 2000 miles per hour on the first flight And that plane could have a bug. Or maybe it could even just not live up to the super high expectations on day 1. Or maybe because of the intensive effort to rigorously test, the launch might take longer than everyone was hoping. So: Monad could flop And that would definitely suck. But if it does, our team will simply keep chipping away. Let me state this: I understand your implicit point. In crypto there is a strong momentum factor. By coming out of the gate guns blazing (or maybe just... blazing relative to carefully managed expectations) an L1 or L2 gets mindshare. Which attracts capital and builders. Which creates a snowball effect. If the expectations are too high, the thinking goes, then negative momentum sets in and the schelling point goes elsewhere. I can understand this thinking in a world where there are hundreds of undifferentiated OP stack rollups competing to be the canonical rollup for XYZ. These teams indeed need to nail the launch so that mindshare coalesces around them as the best place for XYZ. In an arena where blockspace, technology, and mission are ultimately not-too-different, flopping means a vicious cycle which means death. But the antidote to vicious cycles is consistency and intrinsic momentum. The Monad team is intrinsically motivated to solve tough performance problems with unique tech. And the Monad Community is intrinsically motivated to spread kindness, fun, optimism, personal growth and friendship. Our motivation beats like a drum. You're right that with such high expectations, we might not beat them. We might "flop". But we will keep going either way. We love doing this stuff, and respectfully say to any challenge: bring it on.
