Monad keeps credible early usage and favorable basic valuation, but tokenomics and security evidence remain materially incomplete
| Grade | Verdict | Score | Rank | Price | Market cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F | Failed | Red | 32.8 / 100 | #66 of 203 | $0.0216 | $256M |
F | Failed means: Score below 40, or any single hard red flag. Do not own — the story is irrelevant.

Monad is a Layer 1 blockchain built for high-throughput applications, with the supplied profile describing capacity of up to 10,000 transactions per second and very low fees. Its execution model is parallelized: validators agree on which transactions are included and their order, then process those transactions separately. Monad also includes MonadDB and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so Ethereum applications, developer tools, libraries, and wallets such as MetaMask can work without code changes. MON is the native network token. The supplied profile identifies MON as the chain’s native asset but does not specify whether it is used for fees, staking, governance, or another form of value capture. Monad’s distinct proposition is the combination of Ethereum compatibility, parallel execution, and an architecture intended to run on consumer-grade hardware.
The asset introduction is background information, not an assessment of current usage or evidence availability. The rating status shown above is separate from that introduction. Sign in to read the latest published assessment and its supporting research.
Every CryptoGrade rating comes from the same published, rules-based framework: six weighted dimensions produce a 0–100 composite score, hard disqualifying gates can force exclusion regardless of score, and fixed thresholds map the composite to a grade. Read the full methodology on the Framework page.
The full Monad verdict — the investment thesis, disqualifier gate checks, per-dimension scores with provenance, on-chain usage and developer-activity signals, and the complete score history — is free with a sign-in and identical for everyone.
