Monad Labs is accelerating the Ethereum Virtual Machine so that decentralized apps can eat the world. The EVM is the ubiquitous standard of web3; over 96% of all capital in DeFi is in EVM apps. In spite of this, EVM-compatible blockchains have extremely low throughput: Ethereum supports roughly 10 transactions per second, and no EVM rollup is over 50 tps. We are solving this problem with Monad, the performant Layer-1 blockchain that introduces parallel execution and superscalar pipelining to the EVM. Deep optimization is needed across all levels of the stack - from the database layer, to the virtual machine layer, to the consensus and networking layer - in order to streamline EVM transaction processing. Monad introduces these low-level optimizations, allowing consumer-grade hardware to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining a high degree of decentralization. We recently raised $225M in series A funding to scale our team in bringing the Monad blockchain to production.

The Spindl product involves three main themes: Identity, Attribution, and Acquisition. The Identity layer joins user behavior across Web 2 and Web 3 with a novel and proprietary data layer that de-duplicates wallets and browsers. Attribution is the ringing cash register of a mature media ecosystem: Web 3 won't succeed without one. Using our identity layer, we do full click-to-chain attribution that teases out what users are doing on-chain and why. Acquisition is the action of the growth stack: it's what we do with all the data we complied via identity and attribution. Whether you use influencers, tweets, or Discord posts, one Spindl link credits the right source for your user, and pays whatever creator or developer helped along the way (with no ads middlemen).
