Lead Community Manager

Monad is creating the foundation for a new world of powerful decentralized applications. We’re doing this by building a new ultra high-performance EVM-compatible blockchain supporting 10,000 TPS, and by supporting a growing ecosystem of app developers leveraging the high throughput and interactivity of this new platform.

Our mission is to enable a new universe of apps—use cases and user flows that are currently impossible—that take advantage of this efficient, interconnected environment, ultimately unleashing the power of decentralization to make the world more efficient and fair.

About Monad

Monad Labs is an early-stage venture-backed crypto startup founded by HFT engineers from Jump Trading. We are working on the most impactful problem in crypto: building a high-performance blockchain to address severe bottlenecks in existing systems.

The Monad blockchain offers the best of both worlds for dapp developers: performance and portability. Our key differentiator is combining extremely high performance with EVM compatibility. To do this, our team solves challenging problems in distributed systems and low-level optimization.
