Monad was founded by James Hunsaker as CEO and is affiliated with the Monad Foundation, an independent organization dedicated to encouraging development and adoption of the Monad protocol. It is also affiliated with Category Labs, the software development and research company formerly known as Monad Labs. On Dec 16, 2024, Monad Labs said it would continue under the new name Category Labs, led by James Hunsaker as CEO. The first Monad client is built by Category Labs in C++ and Rust, with consensus and execution clients open-source under GPL-3.0. Monad is backed by Paradigm, Electric Capital, Castle Island Ventures, Greenoaks, and Coinbase Ventures. Monad Labs announced a $225M fundraise on Apr 9, 2024, led by Paradigm, to scale its team and bring Monad to production.

Monad launched its public mainnet on Nov 24, 2025. In five months of public testnet, the protocol facilitated 2B transactions from over 300M onchain addresses and peak throughput of over 10,000 transactions per second. MON is the native token that powers the protocol, primarily used for transaction fees and staking to secure the network. At mainnet launch, total initial supply of MON was 100 billion tokens, with approximately 10.8B MON tokens (10.8%) expected to be unlocked and in public circulation. Approximately 19.7B MON tokens (~19.7% of initial token supply) were allocated to investors during previous fundraising rounds. The MON airdrop claim process ran from Oct 14, 2025, to Nov 3, 2025, allocating tokens to 5,500 Monad community members and nearly 225,000 members of the wider crypto community. The Monad Foundation acquired Portal on Jul 9, 2025, adding stablecoin infrastructure for payments on Monad. In June 2026, the Monad Foundation joined the x402 Foundation, contributing to the open standard for autonomous agents to discover, authorize, and settle payments natively over HTTP.
