Stake without complexities

The Monad blockchain is designed to tackle the scalability and performance limitations of existing systems like Ethereum. It maximizes throughput and efficiency while preserving decentralization and security. Its architecture is composed of different integrated components: the Monad Client, which handles consensus and execution. MonadBFT, a consensus mechanism derived from HotStuff. The Execution Model, which leverages parallelism and speculative execution, and finally MonadDB, a state database purpose-built for Monad. Additional innovations such as RaptorCast and a local mempool design further enhance performance and reliability. Together, these elements position Monad as a next-generation blockchain capable of supporting decentralized EVM applications with low latency and strong guarantees of safety and liveness. Below, we'll provide a technical overview of the Monad architecture, which consists of the Monad Client, MonadBFT, the execution model, and monadDB.

For many years, corporate treasury strategies were very predictable: cash, bonds, and money market instruments. But the world shifted in 2020 when MicroStrategy made waves by placing Bitcoin squarely on its balance sheet as an offensive strategy. Now, with Bitcoin now firmly established in many corporate reserves, a new paradigm is emerging: companies are embracing proof-of-stake assets, starting with Ethereum, to earn yield while staking. This marks a critical shift in how companies think about treasury management in the digital age.

Ethereum staking continues to mature, and institutions with significant ETH holdings are increasingly looking for secure and yield-competitive strategies. At Chorus One, we are building solutions that combine simplicity, flexibility, and performance – allowing our clients to participate in Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem without added complexity.
