The Edge Podcast

Keone Hon is the CoFounder of Monad.

In this episode, we cover a beginner's guide to Monad's parallelized EVM-compatible L1. Discover how Keone and his team designed a high-performance L1, with an estimated 10,000 transactions per second, how Monad differentiates from other L1s and Ethereum L2s, and what goes into boostrapping this new Monad community prior to their Mainnet launch.
