Monad is redefining what’s possible for scalable, censorship-resistant blockchain infrastructure. In the latest episode of Fully Diluted, hosts Dylan Bane and Matthew Nay sit down with Monad’s Kevin and Jack McCordic to discuss the upcoming mainnet launch, how Monad achieves 10,000 TPS without sacrificing decentralization, and why their approach could reshape how crypto apps scale. The team shares behind-the-scenes insights into ecosystem growth, decentralization tradeoffs, and what success will look like post-launch — from thriving DeFi apps to on-chain GDP. 

🎧 Watch to the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple to learn how Monad plans to deliver both performance and resilience at scale.
