We're excited to welcome @monad as a sponsor of UBC 2026! 💜
Monad is a high-performance, EVM-compatible blockchain built to enable highly performant apps.
With a strong focus on developer adoption, Monad Foundation regularly hosts hackathons and is looking to work with university blockchain communities around the world.
If you're a student interested in learning more about Monad, make sure to meet the team at UBC 2026!
Tree-BTE lays the groundwork for post-quantum encrypted mempools
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.
Welcome to Monad 🤝
ONyc is coming to @Monad through nONYC.
Built by @onrefinance, ONyc gives onchain exposure to reinsurance-backed yield, with returns generated from underwriting premiums and collateral rather than crypto-native incentives.
Until now, ONyc has been available only on Solana. nONYC packages the asset through Plume Vaults, making it deployable across supported EVM networks and opening access to new sources of capital and liquidity.
With more than $225M deployed across Solana DeFi, ONyc has already established itself as a significant RWA onchain.
Now, it’s moving beyond its original ecosystem.
This is what RWA distribution looks like: taking institutional assets that already exist and making them accessible across the networks where capital is already moving.

Monad’s focus:
- MEV-resistance
- Multiple concurrent proposers
- Quantum security
- Private domains integrated into public liquidity
while continuing the march toward the endgame architecture of decentralized systems
Most of what a bank, fund or corporate treasury does has to stay confidential: client flows, payroll, supplier payments, trading positions.
For institutions exploring public blockchains, that can create a trade-off between keeping sensitive activity confidential and accessing the liquidity and connectivity of an open market.
Category Labs is developing Private Settlement on Monad, designed to give institutions confidential execution on a high-performance, EVM-compatible L1 without leaving its liquidity.
→ Transactions stay encrypted and confidential from intent to settlement
→ Each business configure its own domain(s): validators, trust model and access rules
→ Confidentiality stays accountable: auditors and regulators can be granted scoped access
→ Private activity is designed to stay connected to the Monad network's pooled liquidity
If your team has payments, treasury or trading workflows, the Private Settlement design is worth a close look
