Monad Practical Guide: Welcome to the New Architecture, High-Performance Development Ecosystem
This article will introduce you to some resources to help you better understand Monad and get started with development.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: harpaljadeja.eth (evm/acc)
Compilation: TechFlow
Monad is a fully EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, optimized for high throughput and low latency.
It features a completely new architecture—including the MonadBFT consensus mechanism, RaptorCast networking, asynchronous and parallel execution, Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation, and a custom MonadDB database—achieving approximately 10,000+ TPS (transactions per second), with block times of around 400 milliseconds and finality of about 800 milliseconds.
Notably, Monad maintains full compatibility with EVM and RPC; all existing Solidity contracts, development tools, and wallets can be used directly without any modifications!
Monad aims to push the boundaries of decentralization and blockchain scalability. With Monad, developers can enjoy faster block production and higher throughput without changing their Solidity or Web3 workflows.
In this article, I’ll introduce you to key resources to help you understand Monad and start building!
Monad is specifically designed to work seamlessly with standard Ethereum development tools.
In particular, Foundry and Hardhat are fully supported, and other tools such as Remix and Scaffold-ETH also work perfectly.
You can refer to relevant guides to deploy and verify smart contracts!
Make sure to use Foundry version v1.5.0+ and Viem version v2.40.0+.

Network Information
If you need details such as chain ID, block explorers, and RPC URLs, refer to the network information page (including both mainnet and testnet).

Migrating Applications from Other EVM Chains to Monad
If you're migrating an application from another EVM chain to Monad, the "Deployment Summary" is your go-to resource.
This document includes network details, protocol addresses deployed on Monad, and important differences between Monad and Ethereum to keep in mind during migration!

Monad supports the EIP-7702 proposal with reserved balance conditions. Learn more here.
Best Practices for High-Performance Applications
Monad’s documentation also offers excellent guidance on building high-performance applications, covering best practices such as which RPC methods to use, how to batch calls, and when to use indexers.

Development Tools and Infrastructure
Monad currently boasts the richest ecosystem of development tools and infrastructure on mainnet!
You can browse the service providers listed in the Monad documentation or quickly check @keoneHD’s snapshot tweet:

If you need a service provider not yet available on Monad mainnet, feel free to reach out to us!
Monad Architecture
If you’d like to dive deep into how Monad works internally, visit the Monad Architecture section in the documentation.
This section details core technologies including Parallel Execution, the MonadBFT consensus mechanism,
and the MonadDB database.

Looking for Application Development Guides?
If you’re new to Web3 or looking for application development guides, the Monad documentation has an excellent section tailored for developers getting started on Monad.
It includes detailed guides on using indexers, wallet connection SDKs, and even MCP and x402 applications!

Looking for Templates?
The Monad documentation also provides a Farcaster Mini App template—yes, Farcaster apps are fully supported on Monad mainnet, including the @farcaster_xyz wallet!

Mobile App Template
The Monad documentation also offers a template for building mobile apps using React Native!
