Why Monad is different for traders

Parallel work, ordered results

Monad executes work concurrently while preserving transaction order. That increases capacity without guaranteeing your trade a better place in the queue.

Fast settlement

Current official specifications describe 300 ms blocks and 600 ms finality. Bot latency, quote updates and liquidity remain separate constraints.

Gas-limit charging

MON pays gas, and the documented charge uses the transaction gas limit. Avoid copying an unnecessarily large limit from another network.

Your first steps on Monad

1. Set up your wallet

Use official wallet software and verify Monad mainnet, chain ID 143. Store your recovery phrase offline.

2. Fund the correct network

Check the destination asset and keep native MON for fees. Test the transfer before moving a larger balance.

3. Inspect before signing

Match the contract address, read the quote and allowance, then verify the receipt in an explorer.

Tools & ecosystem

Trade and discover

Use a terminal or a DEX for the workflow you need. Discovery coverage and trading execution are separate capabilities.

Fund and verify

Start with issuer-documented bridge routes and official wallet links. Token names alone do not identify an asset.

Track and review

Use an explorer for receipts and analytics for context. A security flag is a signal, not a guarantee.

Questions before your first trade

Is Monad mainnet live?

Yes. The official network reference identifies Monad Mainnet, chain ID 143, with MON as its native currency.

What pays transaction fees on Monad?

Native MON pays gas. Stablecoin holdings alone may not cover network fees.

Which bots are listed?

Maestro, MEVX and GMGN have active Monad trading records. Evidence dates and product surfaces are shown separately on each page.

Does unknown mean unsupported?

No. Unknown means sufficient evidence has not been established. It is never scored as a missing feature.

Is the fastest bot automatically the best?

No. Total cost, executable liquidity, wallet control and order reliability also matter; we do not name an overall winner from incomplete data.

Facts first. Clear about the gaps.

Bot features change. We separate active trading support, chain-specific evidence and product-wide information, so you can see what is established and what still needs checking. Read our methodology →

Official-source checks

Documentation and product sources inform the records.

Chain-specific context

Monad availability and venue coverage are checked separately.

Unknown stays unknown

Missing evidence is not a negative feature claim.
