Monad’s future outlook involves significant milestones, continued team and community development, and an increased physical presence at industry events [00:17:35]. The overarching goal is to press forward and launch a strong mainnet [00:17:41].
Next Milestones
Devnet, a fully functioning blockchain environment for Monad, is currently an internal core team environment used to dogfood the blockchain and identify areas for optimization [00:08:02]. This process allows the team to refine the system through iterations of code development [00:08:19].
The next major milestone on the horizon is the testnet, which will be launched in phases, allowing for broader access and sharing [00:02:49].
Team and Community Development
Monad is committed to expanding its team across all areas, especially engineering, to support its growing ecosystem [00:17:49]. The Monad blockchain is considered the “skeleton,” while the ecosystem of applications, tooling, and infrastructure are the “muscles and tendons” [00:18:39]. The community is described as the “beating heart” that makes the entire system a “living, breathing body” [00:18:48]. The efforts of the core team in building the blockchain are made worthwhile by the broader developer and crypto community [00:18:20].
Physical Presence and Events
Looking ahead, Monad plans to establish a stronger physical presence at various conferences [00:19:01]. There are also plans to potentially host their own events in New York, including discussions around organizing a hackathon further down the line [00:19:06]. This increased presence aims to foster greater involvement within the broader ecosystem and highlight Monad’s offerings to developers [00:19:13]. The recognition of Monad has grown significantly, with people now stopping team members on the street after seeing Monad merchandise [00:19:56].
Monad Swag
For those interested in obtaining Monad merchandise, new designs and “drip” are expected in the coming months [00:22:01]. Team members often carry a small handful of swag at conferences for distribution [00:22:07]. For those unable to attend events, information on how to acquire new merch will be provided through updates and the pipeline [00:22:35].
