Amid ongoing efforts to improve scalability and performance in the blockchain industry, Monad - a new EVM-compatible Layer-1 network has been gaining traction. Designed around parallel execution and a unique MonadBFT consensus mechanism, Monad delivers lightning-fast throughput, minimal latency, and the security guarantees needed for global on-chain finance: all while staying fully compatible with Ethereum’s smart contract ecosystem.
At Chorus One, we’re proud to join the Monad validator set from day one. Our goal is to empower both developers and institutions to participate in the network confidently, with reliable staking infrastructure, intuitive tools, and enterprise-grade integrations.
Monad is a high-performance blockchain built to extend Ethereum’s capabilities without sacrificing familiarity. Its architecture introduces parallel transaction execution, allowing multiple smart contracts to process simultaneously — a major leap beyond Ethereum’s single-threaded execution model. This means faster transaction finality, better scalability, and significantly improved user experience.
Monad mainnet is expected to launch next MON-day, November 24th, with projected staking rewards of around 8–12% annualized yield. By design Monad does not auto-compound rewards and requires users to claim or compound rewards manually after each epoch.
As MON rewards will not auto-compound. Users must actively “Compound” stake to maximize rewards.
Realizing that this step may result in some users leaving rewards unrealized, Chorus One has built one-click compounding in the staking dApp enabling easy compounding for reward maximization.
Why is compounding important?
Like with any investment, compounding means taking the rewards earned and reallocating them to maximize the reward rate. In staking compounding rewards back to the staked balance ensures they can begin earning rewards as well. While some networks or vault products offer automated auto-compounding, Monad keeps this mechanism fully manual. This approach ensures that users maintain full control over when and how their rewards are restaked – an important detail for institutions that require operational oversight, as well as for users who want to optimize for gas costs or timing.
Another thing to note, as investors won’t be able to stake at launch, early staking access will be facilitated through partner integrations, ensuring secure and compliant participation in Monad’s initial staking phase.
To accelerate the Monad ecosystem from the earliest stages, Chorus One has already launched two core products on the Monad testnet, our SDK and staking dApp, both designed to make participation simple, transparent, and secure.
Our staking dApp is now live on the Monad testnet, allowing users to delegate MON, monitor validator performance, and track rewards in one intuitive interface.
Once Monad mainnet launches, users will be able to:
This dApp demonstrates Chorus One’s commitment to accessibility and transparency, providing a frictionless staking experience for both institutions and individual participants.
As one of the world’s most established staking operators, Chorus One brings a proven record of reliability, security, and institutional trust to the Monad ecosystem.
By staking MON with Chorus One, users not only earn rewards but also contribute to the security and decentralization of the Monad network, helping to build a foundation for scalable, permissionless computation.
Monad is reimagining what’s possible for EVM chains, combining Ethereum-level compatibility with next-generation scalability and performance. Its launch marks an exciting new chapter for builders, investors, and validators seeking high-speed, low-latency blockchain infrastructure.
At Chorus One, we’re committed to ensuring Monad’s success by offering best-in-class validator performance, research-backed insights, and easy-to-integrate staking infrastructure for partners and developers.
Whether you’re building a DeFi application, running a custodian service, or simply exploring Monad’s potential, Chorus One provides the tools and expertise to help you participate securely and effectively from day one.
