Welcoming Monad Mainnet with the Tools Developers Need to Build
December 1, 2025
4 min read
The Monad mainnet is officially live, marking one of the most anticipated moments in the next-gen of blockchain performance. As builders and users rush to explore what Monad’s high-throughput, Ethereum-compatible environment can unlock, Ankr is proud to stand as a key Monad infrastructure partner. With our full suite of RPC endpoints, Premium API services, and newly available archive node, developers now have the fastest, most reliable, and most cost-efficient foundation to create extraordinary applications on Monad.
This launch represents a turning point for scalable EVM development, and Ankr is enabling that momentum from day one.
Monad Mainnet Arrives: A New Standard for High-Performance EVM Chains
Monad enters mainnet with the clear goal of reimagining what a decentralized, Ethereum-compatible L1 can do at scale. By optimizing every part of the stack, from pipelined consensus to parallelized execution, Monad is capable of reaching more than 10,000 transactions per second under real workloads while maintaining extremely low fees, low latency, and full compatibility with existing Ethereum tooling.
Developers can deploy the apps they already know how to build. Users get near-instant finality and negligible gas. Validators do not need expensive hardware to participate. Mainnet now brings this power into production, inviting the entire ecosystem to push their ideas further.
For that level of performance, the chain needs infrastructure built to keep pace. This is where Ankr shines.
Why Monad Relies on Ankr: Performance That Matches the Chain
During Monad’s stress testing phase, most infrastructure providers struggled to keep up with the volume of requests generated by a chain architected for tens of thousands of transactions per second. Ankr’s infrastructure was the clear outlier. Our bare-metal global node network, paired with a blockchain-native load balancer and private fiber connectivity, handled more than 100x the throughput capacity of other providers.
With no reliance on AWS or Cloudflare and no bottlenecks created by generic Web2 hosting stacks, Ankr’s system was designed from the ground up for Web3 scale, and Monad immediately recognized the advantage.
Now that the mainnet is live, this relationship becomes even more valuable to builders. Ankr offers seamless access to both testnet and mainnet RPCs, a Monad archive node, and a premium developer experience that matches the chain’s ambitions.
Ankr’s Full Infrastructure Suite for Monad
High-Performance RPC Endpoints
Ankr’s Public and Premium RPCs give wallets, dApps, and services a direct line to Monad with unmatched stability and request throughput. Developers can rely on:
- High request volumes that keep pace with Monad’s parallelized EVM
- Archive node requests
- Prioritized requests for mission-critical applications
- WebSocket support for real-time updates
- A global, geo-distributed node cluster that minimizes latency everywhere
These RPCs eliminate the need for developers to set up, maintain, or troubleshoot their own nodes. Instead, they can ship faster, scale reliably, and build complex features on top of Monad’s high-performance environment.
Archive Node for Full Historical Depth
Some applications require a complete view of the chain’s history. This is why Ankr now operates a Monad archive node. With it, developers and researchers can access:
- Any account state at any block height
- Full blockchain history dating back to genesis
- Crucial data for explorers, analytics tools, auditors, indexers, and DeFi protocols
A healthy decentralized network depends on reliable access to historical state data. Ankr’s archive node strengthens both Monad’s transparency and its ability to support sophisticated applications.
The Best API Service for Monad: Faster, Cheaper, and Proven
Ankr’s Web3 API is already recognized as one of the fastest and most dependable RPC platforms in the industry. For Monad developers, this advantage becomes even more important because high-performance chains demand infrastructure that will not become the bottleneck.
With Ankr, builders receive:
- Faster request speeds powered by bare-metal performance
- Superior uptime thanks to global failover systems
- Optimized costs for scaling applications
- A 20 percent discount on Premium RPC plans when paying with ANKR tokens
This creates the perfect environment for startups, enterprise teams, on-chain researchers, and protocol developers who want to maximize consistency and minimize overhead.

Powering the Next Wave of Monad Ecosystem Growth
Monad’s mainnet launch opens the door to a new class of EVM applications, defined by near-limitless throughput and true scalability. Ankr’s infrastructure ensures that everyone who joins the ecosystem can rely on world-class node performance, uninterrupted availability of historical data, and the fastest RPC servicing available.
Together, Monad and Ankr are setting a new benchmark for what Web3 infrastructure should deliver: power, openness, and reliability without compromise.
Developers can get started today by making their first request through Ankr’s Monad RPC endpoints or by exploring the newly available archive node. With these tools in place, your dApp can fully embrace the speed and innovation that Monad brings to mainnet.
