[Monad Founder: Arthur Hayes' Recent Comments on Monad Taken Out of Context, Happy to Send Some MON Tokens for Experience] According to a report by Jinse Finance, the founder of Monad publicly responded to Arthur Hayes' recent comments on the project: 'Over the past few days, I’ve noticed you’ve made several comments about Monad. While I’m sure some of these comments may have been taken out of context, I think you might be interested in understanding what makes Monad unique and why it’s not just another Layer 1. Monad is a high-performance decentralized blockchain built from scratch on a completely new technology stack. The team pointed out that Monad’s mainnet has been live for only 6 days, already featuring 170 globally distributed validators and achieving a high-speed experience with 1–2 second finality, all while maintaining a high degree of decentralization and credible neutrality. Key innovations include: the MonadBFT consensus mechanism, which addresses the tail-fork issue in pipelined consensus; asynchronous execution that allows consensus and execution to progress in parallel; EVM JIT compilation to native code; a new database called MonadDb; a new block propagation mechanism called RaptorCast; and a parallel execution architecture, among others. The team emphasized that all code is open-source and that they will continue advancing research in areas such as gas pricing, privacy, and asynchronous execution. Additionally, MON is the first token issued on the Coinbase Token Sales platform, utilizing a 'bottom-up filling' method to prevent whale monopolization. The team expressed their welcome for more users to experience the network.'
