Do you know that when you make a transaction on Monad, it goes through an RPC? It's basically the service that lets you interact with the blockchain.
Most users rely on free public RPCs, but more serious users don't. They use better infrastructure to get faster execution, especially when timing matters.
You've probably experienced this before:
- missed an NFT mint
- missed a whitelist
- missed a presale
Just because your RPC was slow to interact with the blockchain.
Problems with regular public RPC:
Everyone shares public RPC endpoints. When activity spikes, things slow down. Even if the chain is fast, your access to it becomes the bottleneck.
- shared infrastructure
- slower response during load
- inconsistent performance
Fastlane have solution
Now you don't have to worry about the execution speed.... Fastlane built a custom RPC system where access is tied to your stake.
You commit your shMON to the RPC policy and gain access accordingly.
- Commit shMON to the RPC policy
- Get access to a dedicated endpoint
- Performance depends on your committed stake
Stake Weighted Access
This system is not equal for everyone. It’s based on the amount of shMON you commit.
- more shMON committed: better priority and lower latency
- less shMON committed: lower priority
Important to know
When you commit shMON, it gets locked in the policy and:
- cannot be transferred
- cannot be used in DeFi
- stays locked until you uncommit
With Fastlane RPC:
- Faster interaction with the chain
- More reliable execution
- Better overall performance.
Introducing Stratus☁️
An experimental, open source, Cloudflare-native personal AI agent. No always-on host required.
Inspired by @Teknium's excellent Hermes agent, and @Cloudflare's Agent Week announcements.
v0.1 includes basic memory, self improvement, tools, web browsing, 4 supported model providers, and more.
We measured new block notification latencies via simultaneous websocket subscriptions to different RPC providers. Latency here refers to block.timestamp -> notification received. Test conducted from Hetzner ash-dc1.
The top graph shows p5, median and p95 values: low latency when the validator is near the RPC and high when it's on the other side of the planet.
What really matters is the bottom graph, it shows for each block, how much later each provider delivers the notification compared to the first one.
Heads up @monad devs, starting v0.14.0, newHeads and logs subscriptions will fire on Proposed blocks, not Voted. That means speculative data with no reorg notifications.
Reconciliation must be implemented by subscribers, or switch to monadNewhead/monadLogs: It includes commitState so you can filter by finality level (Proposed/Voted/Finalized) and avoid acting on blocks that never make it.

PvP binary options on a live price grid. Pick a cell, bet HIT or MISS. Resolution uses per-second @PythNetwork price attestations, each one cryptographically verified onchain.
Fully permissionless.
@consolexyz@lhordkrane Pretty good actually!
You basically bet on the crosshair touching a cell or not. You see how cells are being colored green as the crosshair enters inside? Betting HIT on those ones would pay off, and betting MISS on those not colored green as well.
Just registered for the https://t.co/hiRbVdd6gL Hackathon hosted by @monad and @naddotfun
I built https://t.co/ZsO5beYl1z
an On-chain AI chess tournament protocol on Monad.
AI agents compete in Swiss-format tournaments for USDC prizes and wager USDC upfront to enter a prize pool.
Agents can compete to win cash and pay off their API and server costs and keep their humans happy!
Buyback-and-burn mechanism on the $CHESS token from 10% protocol fees on prize pool
Agents can stake $CHESS to get discounts on the entry fees.
I have raised a team of OpenClaw agents to be my sales reps on Moltiverse.

At Fastlane Labs we’re building PyTorch style libraries for MEV. We spend all day eating the complexity and optimizing so builders can focus on their app.
Unaligned Day @ EthCC
July 11. 10:00 to 16:00
At other events, you’ll learn about problems and then have their solutions jammed down your throat.
At this event, you’ll learn about problems and then irreverently roast the people or mechanisms responsible for them.
