MAINNET RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
There is a new mainnet release announcement available!
github.com/monad-crypto/mf-n…
Instructions for GPG signature verification in 🧵
A @monad-based client for Ethereum proving.
@category_xyz reports 17% lower median proving time vs ziskethone: 13s on one RTX 5090 in a 30-block test.
The goal: Ethproofs integration.
Still in development—not a Monad Mainnet upgrade.
From announcement to live markets.
xStocks trading is now available on @KuruExchange, @monorail_xyz and @DirolLabsX on @monad, according to the platforms.
Kuru also reports ~10x lower gas costs for placing and cancelling orders.

#MonadWeekly
Global payments meet @monad💜
@Mastercard & @BVNKFinance list Monad among Global Money Platform's new networks, linking fiat and stablecoin services.
Which use case would you like to see first: payroll, remittances or merchant payments?
Monad Metropolis received 880 project submissions, according to Monad Foundation co-founder Eunice Giarta.
Judging runs Oct 14–27, with winners announced Nov 3. $250K+ in prizes across four tracks.
Category Labs introduced Tree-BTE, a tree-based threshold encryption design for encrypted mempools.
Its lattice-based variant targets post-quantum security, with faster decryption in research tests.
Research only, not live on Monad.
Check out Tree-BTE 🌳, our new tree-based approach to designing batched threshold encryption (BTE), the cryptographic tool for encrypted mempools.
Tree-BTE can be instantiated with different cryptographic hardness assumptions to yield different properties. For example, with a lattice-based hardness assumption, we get a post-quantum secure BTE scheme with >100x faster decryption than prior lattice-based schemes.
Instantiations based on other assumptions (such as DDH, DCR, LWR) are also possible. Check out our paper on eprint.
Monad v0.16.5 is out for Testnet, not Mainnet.
TrieDB growth, lower memory use, RPC fixes.
Validator sync: metrics scraping live (~98% migrated); GPG-signed notices and v1 snapshots ahead. Keep OTEL running.
