Last month, we introduced Monad Private Settlement. Today, we're publishing the technical white paper.

It details private execution domains, shared sequencing on Monad, cross-domain messaging, and configurable access controls.

@socialforging Macca would like a word

Crypto looks like it is about money.

I think money is only the visible layer.

I wrote about why I work at Monad Foundation, what drew me to @monad and why underneath all the noise are time, ownership, power and the freedom to choose another path. https://t.co/5xeOQNJmwV

Why does Monad Private Settlement matter?

@keoneHD breaks it down 👇

[Monad @monad]

JUST IN: @category_xyz revealed Monad Private Settlement

Private Settlement is being developed to provide confidential execution domains with encrypted transactions, atomic settlement, and access to L1 liquidity.

Designed for banks, funds, and other institutions that need a privacy solution for their activity.

[Keone Hon @keoneHD]

Today we are announcing Monad Private Settlement, which gives banks and enterprises the best of both worlds: sovereign execution environments with privacy and compliance by default, which benefit from the composability and performance of Monad

explaining monad's edge in 2 minutes

simply: it's a highly performant open system

why does that matter? that doesn't feel unique!

it sounds like a vision for crypto that's been around for 10 years...

exactly.

allow me to briefly elaborate:

corporations don't want to build on a chain that's controlled by a competitor

and most don't want to spend the resources to run their own chain

neutral blockspace gives everyone fair access - users, startups, corporations... everyone

but neutrality is only viable if it's fast enough to scale

monad is not the first neutral option, but it's the most performant one

an open, neutral and performant settlement layer enables an efficient and productive onchain economy

capital markets create liquidity, shared liquidity makes trading, lending, payments, and RWAs useful

(see monad in the top 3 chains of RWA usage in DeFi)

it is also EVM compatible, which clearly matters

EVM remains the dominant smart contract standard and has the most locked capital

because monad is EVM, apps from Ethereum and other EVM chains can deploy in a matter of minutes, with minimal code changes

and they run much more efficiently on Monad

see: Aave, Balancer, Beefy, Curve, Euler, KyberSwap, Morpho, OpenSea, PancakeSwap, Pendle, SushiSwap, Uniswap

monad has 300ms block times, a globally distributed set of ~200 validators (currently) that can run on consumer grade hardware

and then you have Category Labs

founded by HFT veterans from Jump Trading, CL is quickly becoming the premier EVM R&D firm

recent research (Cadence + BTX) aims to drastically reduce MEV and solves problems that have stumped the cryptography community for decades

(they're winning awards for this research)

there is a clear vision for the future of crypto UX and the team is shipping at record pace

nobody else is doing this, and the proof is public

sooner rather than later, it will become consensus that monad stands alone
