Why @monad was not as we expected?
🔴 Why a disappointment ↓
• Monad raised $225M from Paradigm → created unrealistic expectations
• Promised 10,000 TPS → delivered 300-350 TPS (testnet)
• Marketed as "Solana killer" → launched with $66M TVL (vs. Solana's $11B)
• VC-heavy tokenomics: 70%+ to insiders, only 7.5% to public
• Sybil filter excluded legitimate users, security exploit stole tokens
• + Privy outage, claim portal failures
• Late to the party, competing with Solana ($11B TVL) and Ethereum L2s
• Launched during a brutal crypto bear market (BTC down 33% from peak)
🟢 Why not a total disaster ↓
• Strong ecosystem partnerships: PancakeSwap, Enso, Wormhole, Folks Finance, GoPlus
• Full EVM compatibility: Easier for Ethereum developers to migrate
• $66M TVL in 24 hours: Impressive growth (though artificially inflated)
• 30 CEX listings
• 50.6% lockup until 2029: Reduces sell pressure (though also concentrates power)
