Monad: Accelerating Ethereum Execution - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2024
In this compelling presentation from TOKEN2049 Dubai 2024, Keone Han, co-founder of Monad, delves into how Monad is revolutionizing Ethereum execution by offering a high-performance EVM layer one solution. Monad addresses the twin challenges of performance and decentralization by providing over 10,000 transactions per second, with one-second block times and finality—all while ensuring full bytecode EVM compatibility for seamless redeployment of existing applications.
Keone articulates three critical innovations driving Monad's efficiency: asynchronous execution, parallel execution, and Monad DB. Asynchronous execution separates the processes of consensus and execution, allowing them to occur in parallel and dramatically increasing the execution time budget beyond Ethereum's current limits. Parallel execution optimizes transaction processing by leveraging concurrent execution and a clever rollback mechanism, ensuring transactions reach their intended outcomes.
The introduction of Monad DB, a custom state storage solution, adeptly utilizes the wide bandwidth of modern SSDs, significantly enhancing state access speeds and supporting parallel execution. By efficiently reading simultaneously from the database, Monad overcomes the limitations of Ethereum's traditional Merkle Patricia tree structures and improves overall throughput.
Keone emphasizes that these innovations are pivotal for scaling decentralized applications to support hundreds of millions of daily users, a necessity for widespread cryptocurrency adoption. Monad's architectural advancements enable this vision, providing powerful infrastructure without demanding substantial hardware resources.
