In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Keone Hon, co-founder of Monad, joins from the Out East Summit to explain how his background at Jump Trading helped shape Monad’s high-throughput, low-latency blockchain design. He breaks down how Monad uses pipelining, parallel execution, faster block times, and faster finality to create a more efficient EVM-compatible Layer 1.
