Mantle vs Monad

Mantle is a modular Ethereum Layer‑2 that decouples execution, data availability and settlement, using Optimistic rollup proofs on Ethereum mainnet and EigenDA for cheap blob‑based data. Its BitDAO‑backed treasury subsidises sequencer fees, keeping swaps under $0.05 even during L1 congestion. The network went live in July 2023 and now hosts over 150 dApps including the Mantle DEX and Fusion perpetuals.

Monad is an Ethereum-compatible Layer-1 focused on high throughput, low fees and scalable decentralization. Its architecture targets 10,000 TPS with sub-second finality while preserving bytecode-level EVM compatibility, so Solidity contracts, wallets and infrastructure can work without major rewrites. The MON token is tracked by CoinGecko as the network's associated asset.
