Excited to welcome @pendle_fi to the Monad Ecosystem! Longtime user and fan here
Starting off with two interesting PTs/YTs from @withAUSD and @upshift_fi
Bulletin Chain is a specialized storage chain in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Data is submitted via authorized extrinsics, indexed with Blake2b-256 hashes, and retrievable by content hash from IPFS or directly from the node.
Storage expires after the retention period. Renew it if you need it. Let it go if you don't.
Store static sites, media assets, and application data with built-in availability and censorship resistance.
Not everything needs to live on-chain forever.
Monad v0.14.4 has been released to Monad mainnet.
This version features a fix for the `eth_fillTransaction` convenience RPC method released recently, as well as additional preparatory work for deterministic raptorcast and zkVM.
I love the power and elegance of the Monad client, and it's only getting better as @category_xyz continues to put in the work on the next 3-4 major features.
v0.14.2 has been released to Monad mainnet
This version includes various performance improvements to MonadDb (compaction routines), networking, and RPC, as well as preparatory work for future improvements to Raptorcast and zkVM proof execution

Update to the announcement below:
Category Labs is expanding the potential open-market purchase authorization up to $80 million and extending the period through the end of 2026. Any purchases, if made, may be initiated, suspended or discontinued at our discretion and will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This update does not constitute a commitment to acquire any specific amount of tokens, but reflects our intent to consider opportunistic purchases depending on market conditions.
@0xFastLane Monad model is getting more interesting.
Not just liquid staking.
A layered system where one side captures yield and another can support liquidity and broader validator growth.
That is a smarter staking design than a one-size-fits-all pool.
BitCtrl is already on the validator side of that flow.
Every infrastructure deployment starts with research.
When BitCtrl joined @Monad testnet, and later mainnet, we first analyzed the existing validator footprint: geography, regions, and provider concentration.
Instead of deploying into already saturated areas on heavily used providers, we chose less crowded locations and infrastructure paths that could improve overall network distribution.
That work became Monad Geo, now open to everyone:

If you are planning a testnet or mainnet deployment, start by studying the network first.
