Monad is a Layer-1 blockchain fully compatible with EVM, but optimized for high throughput and low latency.
It adopts a brand new architecture (including the MonadBFT consensus mechanism, RaptorCast network, asynchronous and parallel execution, just-in-time compilation, and custom MonadDb database), achieving approximately 10,000+ TPS (transactions per second), block time of about 400 milliseconds, and final confirmation time of about 800 milliseconds.
It is worth noting that Monad fully retains compatibility with EVM and RPC, allowing all existing Solidity contracts, development tools, and wallets to be used directly without additional adjustments!
Monad is committed to pushing the boundaries of decentralization and blockchain scalability. With Monad, developers can enjoy faster block generation speeds and higher throughput without changing Solidity or Web3 workflows.
In this article, I will introduce some resources to help you better understand Monad and start developing!
Monad is designed to be used with standard Ethereum development tools.
In particular, Foundry and Hardhat are fully supported, and other tools like Remix and Scaffold-ETH can also be used normally.
You can refer to the relevant guides to deploy and verify smart contracts!
Please ensure you are using Foundry version v1.5.0+ and Viem version v2.40.0+.

Migrating applications from other EVM chains to Monad
If you are migrating applications from other EVM chains to Monad, then the (deployment summary) will be the most worthwhile content for you to reference.
This document includes network information, protocol addresses deployed on Monad, and various differences between Monad and Ethereum that need to be considered when migrating applications!
Developer-specific Monad deployment summary

Monad supports the EIP-7702 proposal and includes reserve balance conditions, you can learn more related information here.
Best practices for high-performance applications
The Monad documentation also offers excellent guides on high-performance applications, covering best practices such as which RPC methods to use, how to batch calls, and when to use indexers.

If you need to use certain service providers that are not yet available on the Monad mainnet, feel free to contact us!
Monad Architecture
If you wish to delve deeper into the internal mechanisms of Monad, you can visit the Monad architecture section in the documentation.
This section explains in detail several core technologies of Monad, including Parallel Execution and the MonadBFT consensus mechanism.
MonadDB database, etc.
