what is mon on monad?

Monad is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain engineered for extremely high throughput (10,000+ TPS). It delivers deterministic execution, rapid finality, and EVM compatibility, enabling developers to deploy Ethereum-style applications with significantly higher performance.

MON provides the economic foundation for Monad by powering:

  • Gas payments for network transactions

  • Staking and validator rewards

  • Liquidity and collateral within defi

  • Participation in governance

MON exists directly on the Monad L1, not as a wrapped asset. It enables frictionless interaction with smart contracts, liquidity pools, lending platforms, and emerging defi tools across the Monad ecosystem.

Moving BTC into MON allows users to:

  • Access Monad-native applications and trading venues

  • Pay gas fees and deploy smart contracts

  • Provide liquidity or earn yield in the Monad defi stack

  • Gain exposure to Monad’s expanding ecosystem while holding native tokens

routes

how does garden work

Garden uses Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs) and an intents-based solver network to enable atomic cross-chain swaps.

no wrapping

You receive your asset directly without derivatives or wrapped tokens.

trustless & secure

Either both sides of the swap complete, or your asset is refunded.

optimal routing

Solvers fill your swap request at the best execution path across liquidity sources.

frequently asked questions

Typically under 10 minutes once one Bitcoin confirmation is done, though final timing depends on network congestion.

Yes. You’ll need a wallet configured for the Monad network (MetaMask with Monad RPC, or any compatible wallet).

Absolutely, the reverse route is supported, follows the same trustless HTLC workflow, and takes less than a minute.

Garden matches your swap request with a solver, then both sides lock funds into secure hash-timelocked vaults on Bitcoin and Monad. Once the solver deposits MON for you, you redeem it, and that redemption unlocks the BTC for the solver. If the solver fails to fund the MON side, your BTC automatically refunds after the timeout.
