Ankr is excited to announce the release of Monad on our Web3 API service, the blockchain bringing next-level performance scalability to all! This is great news for developers looking to build advanced dApps on top of Monad. Users can now access Monad Public and Premium RPCs, make request calls, and receive information returns identical to those they would get by running a node themselves.

What is Monad?

Monad is a high-performance, Ethereum-compatible layer-1 blockchain (now in testnet) designed to advance the frontier of the balance between decentralization and scalability. By introducing deep optimizations across consensus, execution, and state access, Monad is designed to achieve over 10,000 transactions per second (tps) without sacrificing EVM compatibility.

With full support for Ethereum’s bytecode and RPC standards, Monad enables developers to seamlessly deploy existing apps while unlocking dramatically higher performance and efficiency.

Monad offers several advantages for developers, including:

• Blazing Fast Execution

  Monad’s parallelized EVM architecture delivers lightning-fast transaction processing with high throughput and low latency.

• Ethereum Compatibility

  Fully EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts without changes.

• Low Fees

  Thanks to pipelined consensus and efficient execution, users benefit from negligible gas costs and instant finality.

• Decentralization without Sacrifice

  Monad nodes run on standard hardware with no special requirements, supporting a diverse and decentralized validator set.

Why the Combo of Monad and Ankr is So Powerful

To support a blockchain capable of executing over 10,000 transactions per second, Monad needed infrastructure that could match its unprecedented performance. During stress testing, most RPC providers struggled to keep up. Thankfully, Ankr was simply built different.

As Ankr’s infrastructure was built for Web3 from the ground up, it runs on its own global fiber network with bare-metal nodes and a custom-built, blockchain-native load balancer. Without reliance on platforms like AWS and Cloudflare, and additional tech upgrades, Ankr is able to sidestep and blast past the same restrictions to latency and throughput that afflict other providers.

Ankr's high-performance RPC infrastructure delivered 100x the throughput capacity of other providers, handling the intense request volume without faltering. This unmatched reliability and speed made Ankr RPCs on Monad an obvious market opportunity.

Ankr’s performance and battle-tested infra, paired with Monad’s groundbreaking speed, are setting a new bar for developer experience on Ethereum-compatible chains.

What Are Ankr’s New Monad RPC Connections?

• Our Monad RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect your wallet, command-line interface, or decentralized applications with the Monad blockchain. They act as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between Monad nodes, chains, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and much more.
• Monad RPC endpoints are a gateway for developers to interface directly with Monad — a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and with no need to go through the DevOps of establishing their own Monad nodes.
• Asphere is providing a geo-distributed Monad RPC comprised of blockchain nodes running worldwide for incredibly low latency and reliable connections.

How Do the Monad RPCs Help Developers?

Building with Monad is an excellent choice for creating high-performance and scalable dApps, but requires access to the information on Monad nodes to do so. Therefore, Ankr’s RPCs solve the following developer troubles:

Eliminates complex node ops - Monad RPCs will completely remove the need for developers to set up their own Monad nodes, removing hours of time spent building, calibrating, and fixing node issues.

Grants access to advanced tools -  Ankr’s Premium RPC Plan instantly grants access to the best tools to build applications quickly, including:

• At least 90,000 Monad req/minute
• Dedicated Monad endpoints
• Prioritized requests
• Priority support portal
• WebSockets (WS) capabilities

Powers chains, applications, and open-source software that need access to Monad - Connect with a cluster of high-performance nodes that hold the information you need to build and operate applications with Monad chain capabilities.

Supports the Monad network - Ankr and Asphere will strengthen the Monad network globally by offering easier development and a broader, decentralized node infrastructure.

How to Make Your First Call to Monad

You can now get started building on the Monad network by heading to our RPC Service to make your first call! You can use the Monad endpoint to call the chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
