// 01 — About Monad

What is Monad?

Monad (MON) is a high-throughput EVM-compatible Layer-1 designed for parallel execution. The chain ships sustained ~10,000 TPS at production scale, with full EVM bytecode compatibility.

Mainnet has launched in 2026 with growth-phase tokenomics (~37% APR). 01node operates a validator since the chain’s validator set onboarding.

// 02 — Why stake with 01node

Receipts, not promises.

01

Active validator on Monad mainnet

Onboarded through the validator set establishment phase.

02

EVM-aware operator

We run Web3Signer on Ethereum-family validators; Monad operations leverage the same discipline.

03

15% commission

Reflective of Monad's growth-phase operator economics.

04

Bare-metal Monad

Monad mainnet runs on the same owned hardware as our broader 40+ mainnet footprint.

// 03 — How to stake

Four steps, two minutes.

  1. 01

    Open Rabby, MetaMask, or Ledger

    Monad uses standard EVM-compatible wallets.

  2. 02

    Visit monadvision.com

    Monad's primary delegation interface.

  3. 03

    Find 01node validator

    Address 0x8F5eFD20BC9082Bdc020A90709F12c356e253Ccb. Click 'Stake' on this page to deep-link.

  4. 04

    Confirm MON amount and sign

    Stake activates per the chain’s epoch boundary.

// 04 — Risks & trade-offs

What you should know.

  • Epoch-bound unbonding

    Specific lock period determined by Monad protocol parameters.

  • Slashing per Monad spec

    Validator misbehaviour can be slashed. Zero events on our infrastructure.

  • Newer-chain volatility

    Token-price moves can be material on growth-phase chains.

  • EVM-execution risks

    Parallel execution introduces consensus surface area different from sequential EVMs.

// 05 — Frequently asked

Monad staking FAQ.

What is Monad?expand_more

A high-throughput EVM-compatible Layer-1 with parallel execution. ~10,000 TPS at production scale, full EVM bytecode compatibility.

What's 01node's commission on Monad?expand_more

15% — reflective of Monad's growth-phase economics. Verifiable on monadvision.com.

Is Monad EVM-compatible?expand_more

Yes — full EVM bytecode compatibility. Existing Ethereum dApps and tooling work without modification.

What's the unbonding period?expand_more

Epoch-bound per the chain protocol specification. Check the Monad documentation for the current value.

How does parallel execution work?expand_more

Monad uses optimistic parallel execution: transactions execute concurrently and the system detects conflicts. Conflicts are resolved by re-executing affected transactions sequentially.

Can MON be slashed?expand_more

Yes — validator misbehaviour is slashable per Monad's protocol rules. We have not been slashed.

Why a Validator Is Not a Server

Five years ago a validator was a server. Today it is a cluster of signers, and the math is the entire reason solo operators still slash themselves. A focused walk-through of the 2/3 signing architecture, the slashing-protection check that runs before every block, and the key-sharding property that makes a single compromised node useless.

On Validator Setup: Seven Years Later

In June 2019 we published our validator architecture on Medium — YubiHSM dual-DC, VPN-only access, sentries per network. Seven years and forty mainnets later, here is what we kept, what we changed, and what we would do differently if we started today.
