⚡ Monad Testnet Scheduled for Q4 2024
posted 18 Nov 2024
Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 blockchain Monad is reportedly beginning its testnet rollout, following the recent launch of its devnet—a developer testing phase.
Unlike standalone networks such as Sui or Sei, Monad enhances Ethereum by integrating parallel execution directly into the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This unique approach allows Ethereum dApp developers to migrate their projects to Monad with ease, while boosting transactional efficiency.
Cobie’s announcement has sparked excitement in the Monad community. The project’s official Discord channel has been buzzing with activity, with numerous messages referencing the testnet rollout.A message from the community’s "mo bot" indicates that the testnet is scheduled for Q3 2024, with the mainnet launch planned for Q1 2025.
Monad secured $225 million in a funding round led by Paradigm, bringing its total raised capital to $244 million.
