The long-awaited Airdrop is about to come true
- Monad , the EVM-compatible high-performance layer-1 blockchain, has just confirmed the timing of its long-awaited Token Airdrop .

- However, the project team still keeps all information about Token allocation confidential - including criteria, rates and beneficiary groups.
- Monad positions itself as a new generation layer-1, focusing on optimizing performance and scalability, while maintaining EVM compatibility - a key factor that helps applications and smart contracts on Ethereum to be deployed seamlessly on Monad. Monad is considered one of the heavyweights in the layer-1 race, in which familiar giants such as Solana, Aptos or Sei are fiercely competing in terms of speed, cost and dApp ecosystem.
Hyperliquid opens MON Derivative trading
- While the community is still waiting for details from Monad, decentralized Derivative exchange Hyperliquid has gone one step ahead by listing the MON-USD hyperps trading pair yesterday, allowing traders to take Longing or Short positions on MON - meaning they can bet on whether the Token price will go up or down - right before the official Airdrop .
- According to the latest data from multiple market sources, MON-USD hyperps is currently trading around $0.12-0.15, from which a rough estimate of Monad's FDV could range from $12-15 billion , based on an expected total supply of 100 billion MON Token .
- Immediately after opening trading, Hyperliquid recorded a volume of more than 22 million USD, with open interest exceeding 5 million USD in just the first few hours. This is an impressive number for a Token that has not been officially launched.
- On Monad's testnet, many users are actively completing quests, interacting with dApps, and participating in “warm up wallet” campaigns to increase their chances of receiving Airdrop.
- According to other sources, Monad is currently in the final audit phase and could launch mainnet in November if more time is needed to fine-tune security.
- At the same time, the emergence of the monad.foundation website - said to belong to the Monad Foundation - has sparked speculation that this is a step towards paving the way for the mainnet and large-scale Token distribution.
