According to Cointelegraph, Urvit Goel will focus on capital markets strategy, Joanita Titan on brand building, and Sagar Sarbhai on institutional adoption in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea.

Monad Network’s Technical Superiorities: 10,000 TPS Analysis

Monad offers 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second finality with its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible parallel executor architecture. It stands out with lower gas fees compared to optimistic rollups and an ASIC-resistant consensus mechanism. This is ideal for DeFi protocols and HFT; for example, it provides 150% superiority over Arbitrum’s 4,000 TPS.
