MON holders can now delegate to Figment’s validator to start earning staking rewards on a network designed to push EVM performance to its limits. Built for hyperscale throughput and sub-second finality, Monad introduces a new class of EVM-compatible Layer 1 optimized for parallel execution and ultra-fast block propagation.
With Figment’s institutional-grade infrastructure, real-time monitoring, and protocol expertise, you can stake MON with confidence from day one.
What is Monad?
Monad is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain engineered for speed, scalability, and security. While the EVM remains the most widely used smart contract environment in crypto, traditional EVM chains are limited in throughput and latency. Monad redefines what’s possible for the EVM, achieving 10,000+ transactions per second and sub-second finality without sacrificing decentralization.
Monad achieves this breakthrough through a combination of architectural innovations:
- MonadBFT: A high-performance, pipelined consensus protocol derived from HotStuff, built for low-latency finality and scalability across a large validator set.
- Asynchronous Execution: Separates execution from consensus, allowing validators to continue finalizing blocks while prior blocks are still executing.
- Optimistic Parallel Execution: Runs multiple transactions simultaneously while maintaining deterministic EVM outcomes.
- RaptorCast: A custom block propagation protocol that uses erasure coding to distribute large blocks rapidly and efficiently across validators.
- MonadDB: A purpose-built database that enables fine-grained concurrent reads and writes to state, fully unlocking the benefits of parallel execution.
Together, these innovations enable Monad to deliver the highest throughput of any EVM-compatible blockchain to date.
Staking MON with Figment
MON staking on Monad uses a delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) model. Validators propose and finalize blocks, while delegators earn rewards proportional to their stake.
Key staking details:
- Epoch duration: ~5.5 hours (50,000 blocks)
- Unstaking period: 1 epoch (6–12 hours depending on timing)
- Validator set: Top 200 validators by total stake
Figment’s validator is live and available for delegation starting at mainnet launch. MON holders can delegate their tokens directly to Figment and begin earning rewards while helping secure the network.
