As for the airdrop, according to project documentation, the total supply of MON is 100 billion tokens, with 10.8% currently unlocked and in circulation. That circulating portion is divided between two buckets: 7.5% was made available over the past week through a public sale on Coinbase’s Token Platform at $0.025 per token, and the remaining 3.3% unlocks as part of the airdrop.
The remaining supply is allocated as follows: 27% to the Monad team, 19.7% to investors, 4% to the Labs Treasury, and 38.5% toward ecosystem development. Some community members on X expressed frustration with the distribution, arguing that the team’s share is unusually high compared with industry norms.
“Monad mainnet’s public launch marks a major step toward making high-performance blockchain infrastructure accessible to everyone. Developers shouldn’t have to choose between speed, security, and usability,” said Keone Hon, the co-founder of Monad, in a press release shared with CoinDesk.
“With Monad, we’ve worked to deliver all three, without asking builders to abandon the tools and languages they already know. We’re excited to empower a new wave of applications and bring blockchain technology closer to mainstream and institutional adoption.”
