Monad MCP: plug Monad data into Claude, Cursor and Grok
MONAF exposes a read-only Model Context Protocol server at /mcp. Add it to your client to search tokens, read pools, quote swaps and fetch network stats. A build_unsigned_tx tool returns a transaction for your own wallet and never signs.
How Monad's parallel EVM handles DeFi contention
Monad executes transactions optimistically in parallel and re-executes any that read state an earlier transaction changed. Popular pools are hot state, so swaps into the same pool behave as if serial while unrelated work runs alongside.
Monad gas: the limit is the bill
Monad charges a transaction for its gas limit, not just the gas it used. A generous limit costs real MON. Estimate, add a small margin, and set the limit tight.
Monad for builders: the 30-minute start
Add chain 143, fund a wallet with a little MON, read a balance with viem, quote a swap through QuoterV2, and send a small transaction with a tight gas limit. The snippets page has each step.
