The Monad native bridge: Monad user Playbook

The Monad Native Bridge will be powered by Wormhole, enabling seamless multichain transfers of native assets, such as MON and ETH, between Monad and Ethereum. This bridge will serve as an interface for asset transfers to and from Monad.

The Monad Native Bridge uses Wormhole's NTT standard and Axelar's General Message Passing for its infrastructure in a strategic alliance with Mayan, Pyth, and other leading infrastructure partners. This foundational primitive establishes robust connections between Monad and Ethereum, enabling seamless, efficient movement of both assets and data throughout the broader ecosystem.

How Monad is breaking the performance barrier

Monad represents a fundamental breakthrough in blockchain architecture, delivering 10,000 transactions per second, 800ms finality, and near-zero gas fees while maintaining 100% EVM compatibility. Unlike Layer 2 solutions that build on existing infrastructure, Monad is rebuilt from the ground up with optimistic parallel execution, custom consensus mechanisms, and hardware-efficient design.

Wormhole's institutional-grade infrastructure ensures that Monad's exceptional performance extends across blockchain ecosystems. Developers can access Monad's speed and efficiency while maintaining connectivity to established DeFi capital across Solana and EVM-compatible chains.
