The New Battleground for Parallel EVMs: A Look at 12 Emerging Forces in the Monad Ecosystem

The New Battleground for Parallel EVMs: A Look at 12 Emerging Forces in the Monad Ecosystem

Author: Jae, PANews Monad, the high-performance public blockchain that the community has been eagerly anticipating this year, has finally launched. On the evening of November 24th, the Monad mainnet and MON token officially launched. Previously, as Coinbase's first Launchpad project, it attracted 85,820 participants who invested $269 million. Even in a sluggish market environment, the oversubscription of the Monad token sale demonstrates its ability to attract funds and its popularity. As a leader in the parallel EVM track, Monad has been touting a throughput promise of up to 10,000 TPS (transactions per second) and a final confirmation time of 1 second. Now, it's time for the market to put its claims to the test. For Paradigm, another major investment in the public blockchain sector, Monad serves as a litmus test for its investment capabilities in the crypto market. Whether it can redeem itself from Blast's previous failure will depend on this battle. The value of a high-performance public blockchain will depend on the carrying capacity of its ecosystem. Unlike strategies that simply rely on "copying and pasting" existing EVM applications, Monad has attracted a number of emerging projects seeking to leverage its high-frequency trading capabilities thanks to its unique technical architecture. The Monad ecosystem comprises 304 protocols, 77 of which are proprietary, with DeFi protocols accounting for over 60%. PANews has compiled a list of representative emerging projects within the Monad ecosystem, considering factors such as Monad exclusivity, investment institutions, and project activity. These projects cover DeFi, Launchpad, prediction markets, DeAI, and DePin, among others. However, Monad is still in the early stages of ecosystem development, with many projects still in testing or early interaction phases. Users should be aware of potential risks before participating. Mynt (USDm) Mynt (USDm) is a zero-knowledge proof stablecoin protocol powered by Succinct's SP1 zkVM (Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine) and incorporating a collateralized minting model. Users can mint USDm using MON tokens as collateral while earning yield from reserve assets. Mynt prioritizes verifiable privacy, collaborating with Fairblock to use additive homomorphic encryption (PHE) and multi-party computation (MPC) to encrypt transaction amounts, avoiding the risk of front-running. Mynt also introduced the concept of "state liquidity." Thanks to ZK technology, USDm can achieve seamless combination of rents across different protocols, meaning that users do not need to frequently transfer tokens between different DeFi protocols; liquidity can be reused and verified simply through state proofs. During the testnet phase, Myn processed over 1 million transactions, generating $250,000 in revenue. Kintsu Kintsu is positioned as a liquidity staking protocol focused on maximizing capital efficiency. Users who stake MON receive sMON, a circulating token that accumulates staking rewards over time. The sMON token model is designed for deep DeFi integration. By allowing sMON to circulate and trade across various DeFi applications, Kintsu not only maintains the liquidity of staked assets but also allows users to deploy assets to yield markets without sacrificing the base staking rewards. Since its mainnet launch, Kintsu has demonstrated a strong early lead, with a TVL of 17.5 million MON (approximately $540,000) and 605 sMON holders. The protocol previously secured $4 million in seed funding led by Castle Island Ventures. Magma Magma is a liquidity staking platform that allows users to earn circulating staking tokens (gMON) by staking MON tokens. gMON not only represents staking rewards but is also composable, serving as collateral across various dApps (decentralized applications) within the Monad ecosystem for activities such as lending and trading. Since its mainnet launch, Magma's TVL (Total Value Locked) has exceeded 7.13 million MON (approximately $200,000), with over 800 gMON holders across 800 unique addresses and over 1,000 transactions. The protocol previously secured $3.9 million in seed funding from investors including Animoca Ventures. Kuru Kuru is a CLOB DEX (Centralized Order Book Decentralized Exchange) that executes entirely on-chain. Its unique feature lies in leveraging Monad's parallel execution and low latency to provide a CEX-like user experience while maintaining self-custody. Kuru's design allows market makers to place and cancel limit orders at high frequency with low, constant gas costs, addressing the core pain points of traditional DEXs in efficiency and price discovery. Keone Hon, co-founder and CEO of Monad Labs, has stated that Kuru can help DEXs narrow the execution gap with CEXs. After its mainnet launch, Kuru's TVL quickly surpassed $1.4 million, with 24-hour trading volume exceeding $11 million, generating approximately $9,000 in protocol revenue. Kuru previously secured $2 million in seed funding led by Electric Capital and $11.5 million in Series A funding led by Paradigm. Perpl Perpl is a full-chain Perp DEX (decentralized perpetual contract trading platform) built on Monad, and it also adopts the CLOB model. Derivatives trading has extremely high requirements for real-time price feeds, settlement, and margin; any delay can lead to high slippage or liquidation risks. The protocol leverages Monad's high throughput and sub-second finality to ensure that the entire process of order matching and trade execution can be completed on-chain, thereby eliminating reliance on centralized components such as off-chain sorters and further improving the transparency and efficiency of trading. Perpl previously secured $9.25 million in funding led by Dragonfly. Mu Digital Mu Digital is an RWA (Real-World Asset) platform designed to bring the Asian credit market on-chain, aiming to tokenize Asia's $20 trillion credit market. The protocol offers two main risk-tiered products: 1) AZND (Asian Dollar): a premium risk-tiered product backed by high-quality Asian credit instruments, offering a native yield of 6% to 7% upon launch; 2) muBOND: a basic risk-tiered product designed to provide enhanced yields of up to 15% for users seeking higher returns. The protocol had secured $1.5 million in pre-seed funding, with investors including traditional financial institution UOB Venture Management. Mu Digital launched its mainnet simultaneously, with muBond TVL (total value locked) reaching $20 million and AZND TVL reaching a staggering $80 million. Castora Castora is a decentralized P2P (peer-to-peer) prediction market, similar to platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. It allows users to place P2P bets on real-world events, such as elections or sporting events, and settles the bets on-chain. The protocol leverages Monad's low latency to achieve real-time odds updates. Unlike traditional order book-based prediction markets, Castora employs a pool-based betting model. Users pay an "entry fee" to enter a specific prediction pool, and the system determines the winner at snapshot time. The user whose prediction is closest to the actual outcome wins the prize pool. Compared to order book-based prediction markets, Castora's mechanism is more similar to a "full share" or "pool" model, which lowers the barrier to entry for market makers, making it easier for ordinary retail investors to participate in liquidity provision and betting. Currently, Castora has launched early pools such as ETH price prediction and is one of the most frequently interacted dApps within the Monad community. Nad.fun Nad.fun is a social meme token issuance platform that allows users to deploy tokens in minutes at extremely low cost, supporting the entire process of creation, issuance, and trading, similar to pump.fun. The protocol uses classic bonding curve pricing to ensure fair early launches. Since its mainnet launch, Nad.fun has generated 30 new Meme tokens. Currently, the Meme token with the highest market capitalization is NADS, at $730,000, while ATH (its all-time high) once had a market capitalization approaching $2 million. FortyTwo Fortytwo is a DeAI inference network that utilizes "swarm inference" technology to achieve scalable, low-illusion AI through node contributions. The protocol supports distributed model training and inference, where AI agents can directly exchange data on-chain. Fortytwo operates with extremely high latency requirements. It leverages Monad's high-performance parallel execution environment to ensure that data exchange and inference tasks between AI agents are completed with very low latency. High transaction speed is also a prerequisite for achieving scalable intelligence. The protocol relies on a dynamic load balancing system to optimize resource utilization, ensuring nodes maintain high activity during light tasks such as video calls or web browsing, but automatically reducing or pausing inference when users perform heavy operations such as 4K video editing. This fine-grained resource management is only feasible if the underlying public blockchain can handle fast and inexpensive transactions. To date, Fortytwo has 450 active nodes, with over 4,500 inference tasks completed daily. The protocol previously secured $2.3 million in Pre-Seed funding led by Big Brain Holdings. Rumi Rumi aims to build an AI-driven media and advertising company. Its protocol employs a unique "watch-to-earn" model, rewarding users' content consumption behavior through a visual language model. Rumi is committed to transforming passive media content into interactive experiences, and its protocol supports intelligent media content parsing. It has already partnered with companies such as TVision and Story Protocol. Rumi's live streaming duration reached 8.5 billion hours in Q3, equivalent to 970,000 years of attention. The protocol previously secured $4.7 million in Pre-Seed funding led by a16z crypto, CSX, and EV3. Multisynq Multisynq aims to build a real-time application layer for the internet, bringing the instant collaboration experience of Google Docs to all online applications, including DeFi, gaming, and ambient coding, without relying on centralized cloud service giants. The agreement had previously secured $2.2 million in seed funding led by Manifold. Poply Poply is an NFT marketplace and distribution platform whose protocol emphasizes respect for creators' royalties and optimizes the NFT minting and listing experience based on Monad's high-frequency trading characteristics. Poply also provides AI tools (such as generative artwork based on prompts, which can be minted into series of NFTs) and user-friendly real-time bidding and trading functions. The protocol will launch 6,000 Poply Otters series NFTs on November 24, and will give holders user benefits such as lower transaction fees, higher token allocation, and exclusive airdrops.

What real passive income can you earn in cryptocurrency with successful investments?

What real passive income can you earn in cryptocurrency with successful investments?

The post What real passive income can you earn in cryptocurrency with successful investments? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency is viewed by many investors as an attractive tool for passive income. While it was initially used for portfolio diversification, today more and more investors are choosing tokens as their primary investment. Unlike traditional assets such as metals or bonds, the crypto market offers a wider range of strategies. Users can earn passive income in crypto through staking, for example, on the Coindepo website, or by farming, as well as by participating in liquid pools. The level of return directly depends on the asset type, holding period, and risk level. Main sources of passive income in cryptocurrency Coindepo experts note several main ways to earn passive income when investing in cryptocurrency. Each of these has its own level of risk, liquidity, and implementation complexity. Staking is considered one of the most accessible methods, allowing you to earn passive income in crypto for participating in network support. Returns in this case range from 5% to 15% per annum.

JPMorgan’s Alleged Short On Strategy (MSTR): How A 50% Price Jump Could Spell Major Troubles

JPMorgan’s Alleged Short On Strategy (MSTR): How A 50% Price Jump Could Spell Major Troubles

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, the largest public holder of Bitcoin (BTC), finds itself at the center of a stormy controversy involving JPMorgan as Bitcoin prices continue to struggle.  With signs of a potential bear market emerging, fresh rumors suggest that one of the world’s largest banks allegedly holds a significant short position on Strategy’s stock (MSTR), which has plunged 69% from its record high of $543 per share last year. Strategy Faces Potential MSCI Exclusion The turmoil escalated last week when JPMorgan issued a warning that Strategy might soon be removed from major equity indices, specifically the MSCI USA Index.  JPMorgan’s analysts noted that the issues facing Strategy extend beyond the recent downturn in cryptocurrency prices, which have seen Bitcoin fall more than 30% from its all-time highs.  As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading around $86,000, while the broader crypto market has experienced a staggering $1 trillion decline in total market capitalization over the past month. Related Reading: Why XRP Price Crash Below $2 Is Not A Problem – $20 Is Still The Target JPMorgan’s analysts indicated that MSCI is considering whether companies with over 50% of their total assets in digital currencies should qualify for inclusion in traditional equity indices. Given that Strategy’s balance sheet is heavily weighted with Bitcoin, it is at significant risk of exclusion.  The analysts stated that “MicroStrategy [is] at risk of exclusion from major equity indices as the January 15th MSCI decision approaches.” They speculated that removal from the MSCI could trigger approximately $2.8 billion in outflows, and if other index providers follow MSCI’s lead, the total could reach as high as $8.8 billion. The situation is complicated by market dynamics, particularly the timing of JPMorgan’s bearish note, which coincided with Bitcoin’s weakness and MSTR’s decline, all while liquidity was thin and overall sentiment fragile.  JPMorgan Faces Account Closures Surge According to analysts at the Bull Theory, JPMorgan has been noted for timing its market reports—bearing down when prices are already weak and striking a more bullish tone near market peaks.  The analysts have highlighted that share lending for MSTR has reportedly increased, allowing brokers to lend shares to short sellers, which can exacerbate downward pressure on the stock price.  Additionally, there are escalating reports of widespread account closures at JPMorgan, with thousands claiming to have exited due to perceived manipulation of both MSTR and Bitcoin.  Related Reading: A Quiet Move In Bitcoin Options Is Starting To Raise Big Questions Amid these developments, the fear of a potential short squeeze is growing. The analysts believe that if Strategy’s stock were to rally around 40% to 50%, it could trigger a short squeeze in the bank’s position and spell major financial troubles.  In response, Michael Saylor, the CEO of Strategy, has sought to clarify the company’s identity, emphasizing that it is not just a passive Bitcoin holder. He pointed out that Strategy operates as a software business with an active financial strategy, countering the narrative circulating around MSCI’s concerns. As the situation unfolds, several key points emerge. The October 10th crash appeared to align with the MSCI announcement, coinciding with an already fragile market state. JP Morgan’s strategic timing of its bearish insights has amplified existing fears, creating further uncertainty as MSCI’s final decision looms. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Paxos picks Plume, Hyperliquid, Aptos for USDG0 launch

Paxos picks Plume, Hyperliquid, Aptos for USDG0 launch

The post Paxos picks Plume, Hyperliquid, Aptos for USDG0 launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Paxos has taken its next step in multi-chain stablecoin infrastructure with a targeted launch across key networks. Summary Paxos introduced USDG0, a fully backed omnichain version of its regulated USDG stablecoin using LayerZero’s OFT standard. Plume, Hyperliquid, and Aptos were selected as the first networks to deploy USDG0. New tooling such as the USDG0 Portal and cross-chain APIs supports unified liquidity and reduces the risks tied to traditional bridges. Paxos has named three fast-rising networks as the first venues for its new omnichain stablecoin, setting the stage for regulated liquidity across multiple ecosystems. According to a Nov. 24 press release from Plume, the network will join Hyperliquid and Aptos as primary launch partners for USDG0, the omnichain extension of Paxos’s regulated USDG stablecoin created through LayerZero’s omnichain-fungible token standard. Paxos expands USDG0 across three high-growth networks USDG0 carries the same 1:1 reserve model as USDG, backed by cash, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and cash equivalents, with monthly audits conducted by Withum. The asset, according to Paxos, is a unified version of USDG that can move natively across chains without the need for fragmented pools or wrapped tokens. The model locks USDG in audited contracts while minting USDG0 on destination chains, maintaining regulatory clarity while enabling broad mobility. Plume said its inclusion in the inaugural launch cohort positions the network as a distribution hub for compliant liquidity. The chain has recorded more than 280,000 active real-world asset holders and $645 million in RWA TVL within five months of mainnet, offering a large retail and institutional base for USDG0’s rollout.  The team noted that the stablecoin adds yield aligned with U.S. Treasury benchmarks, native liquidity for decentralized finance builders, and direct access for its global user base. Hyperliquid’s role centers on derivatives. The decentralized perpetuals exchange will apply USDG0 toward yield-aligned trading pairs,…
