High-performance Monad RPC infrastructure is now live

TL;DR

Monad is a parallel EVM Layer-1 blockchain delivering 10,000 TPS, 0.4s block time, and 0.8s finality. With Mainnet launched on November 24th, Triton is one of the first RPC providers offering:

• Shared RPC pools with global distribution
• Dedicated bare-metal nodes for guaranteed capacity
• WebSocket API for real-time data streaming via eth_subscribe
• Validator services on both mainnet and testnet

Introduction

The Layer-1 landscape has long forced a compromise between the rich tooling of the Ethereum Virtual Machine and the throughput of high-performance networks like Solana. Monad resolves this by rebuilding the EVM execution stack from the base up. It delivers unprecedented performance while maintaining full EVM bytecode compatibility.

Triton’s DNA is rooted in high-performance networks. Over the last 4 years, we’ve been solving the hardest infrastructure challenges on Solana, and today, we are bringing that battle-tested reliability to Monad.

Triton now supports the ecosystem with shared and dedicated RPC endpoints and validators on both Mainnet and Testnet. 

What makes Monad faster than other EVM networks

Monad is a fundamental reconstruction of the EVM execution environment rather than a fork. To achieve 10,000 TPS and 0.8s single-slot finality, Monad introduces 4 specific technical optimisations to solve legacy constraints.

1. Parallel execution

In traditional EVM chains, transactions are processed sequentially. This leaves modern multi-core processors largely idle.

Monad utilises optimistic parallel execution. Rather than pre-identifying dependencies, the network optimistically processes transactions simultaneously, assuming they don't conflict. During execution, the system tracks inputs and outputs; if a dependency conflict is detected (meaning a transaction operated on outdated data), the system re-executes that specific transaction with the correct data. This allows Monad to maximise hardware utilisation and the network's overall throughput.

2. Asynchronous execution

Standard blockchains couple consensus and execution, requiring the network to execute all transactions in a block before agreeing on that block. This limits the time available for computation.

Monad separates these concerns through an async execution. The consensus determines the order of transactions upfront, and execution processes those transactions separately in the background instead of blocking consensus. This separation significantly increases the gas budget per block as execution no longer needs to fit within the tight window of the consensus round.

3. MonadBFT consensus

Traditional Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithms require multiple back-and-forth confirmations, resulting in quadratic communication overhead as the network scales.

MonadBFT is a new, high-performance consensus mechanism that pipelines agreement. It allows the network to process voting on a new block while simultaneously finalising the previous one. By using linear communication (fan-out/fan-in), MonadBFT achieves robust security and fast finality without the latency spikes common in older BFT models.

4. MonadDB

High throughput requires a database capable of handling massive I/O requests. Most EVM clients rely on generic databases like LevelDB or RocksDB, which process requests synchronously, blocking execution while waiting for disk operations.

Monad built MonadDB from scratch. It is a custom asynchronous database designed specifically for Merkle Trie state storage that enables parallel access to the disk so multiple virtual machines can read and write state simultaneously. This eliminates the I/O blocking that restricts performance on other chains.

Why Triton is the best RPC provider for Monad

With Mainnet live, the ecosystem is forming rapidly. As usage grows, the network needs a gateway capable of sustaining high-throughput workloads.

We are providing production-grade access to Monad through:

• Shared RPC pools: Globally distributed endpoints designed for reliability.
• Dedicated nodes: Private infrastructure for teams requiring guaranteed capacity and specific geographic placement.
• Validator operations: We operate a validator on Monad to participate directly in consensus.
• Websocket API: Full support for real-time event streaming via `eth_subscribe`.

Purpose-built for reliability

High-throughput chains demand a resilient physical layer. Our shared pools run on GeoDNS-backed, multi-node clusters deployed across 20+ top-tier data centres with real-time health checks, automated failover, and seamless rerouting to the next healthy region. Dedicated nodes operate on isolated bare metal, ensuring peak throughput and minimal latency. Both architectures maintain steady performance under heavy load and production traffic.

Expert engineering support

When your setup needs troubleshooting, you’re not talking to a support agent. You communicate directly with engineers through a dedicated support channel. We provide architectural guidance to help you optimise your requests and latency, ensuring your application performs correctly under load.

Start small and scale easily

As a Monad chain evolves, your infrastructure needs will change. Triton allows you to start small and grow into heavier workloads without restructuring your system. You can expand capacity within hours or offload traffic to optimised services to avoid unnecessary hardware costs. You are also never locked in with proprietary SDKs, and if you decide to switch providers, it is as simple as changing a single URL.

Start building on Monad with Triton

Monad brings EVM development into a much higher-performance environment with Solidity contracts running at speeds previously thought impossible. 

From prediction markets to advanced DeFi systems, Triton provides the infrastructure to keep these applications stable under any load.
