As user <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/wyckoffweb\/status\/1965839005590671664\">@wyckoffweb<\/a> explained, with block times of 400\u202fms and high throughput, the network will process massive numbers of micro-transactions, and such a large token supply ensures transaction fees remain tiny and manageable without awkward decimals.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the price per MON is determined more by the network\u2019s fully diluted valuation at listing than by raw supply. For example, a $1\u202fbillion FDV would imply roughly $0.01 per MON, whereas a $100\u202fbillion FDV would price it at $1 per MON, showing that distribution and valuation are far more important than the sheer number of tokens.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>As for the launch itself, the mainnet and TGE are expected in late September, marking the point when MON will officially become the network\u2019s native gas token. The token will be used for transaction fees, staking, and ecosystem incentives, supporting DeFi, NFT, and gaming applications on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>This launch is highly anticipated as Monad is backed by top-tier VC firms, including Paradigm and Dragonfly Capital, and features 10,000 TPS, sub-second finality, and low transaction fees. The public testnet, launched in February, has been highly successful, attracting significant activity: over 2.44\u202fbillion successful transactions, 34\u202fmillion contracts deployed by roughly 3\u202fmillion creators, and daily peaks of 34\u202fmillion transactions in early August.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2\/ <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/monad?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@monad<\/a> testnet activity is massive<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2.44B+ successful transactions<br \/>   \u2014 early Aug peak: 34M\/day<br \/>\u2022 34M+ contracts deployed by ~3M creators<br \/>   \u2014 April ATH: 48K daily active, now ~20K; ~200 new\/day <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uom76NYrQo\">pic.twitter.com\/uom76NYrQo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dune (@Dune) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dune\/status\/1956340141813039351?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 15, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monad is preparing to launch its MON token with a whopping 100\u202fbillion supply, sparking dilution concerns within the community.
