Today, nads have laid the foundation for the Monad chain with the launch of its testnet. At Garden, we like to be the first to a party, help the host blow up balloons, organize the munchies, set up the bar counter, you know the drill. In another first, Garden is the first Bitcoin bridge to Monad.

the value

Monad is set to revolutionize the DeFi ecosystem by offering a blockchain solution that drastically improves on existing technologies in terms of speed, cost, and accessibility. With its capability to process 10,000 transactions per second and ensure single-slot finality, Monad is not only 1000x faster than Ethereum but also supports the extreme scalability needed for mass adoption with sub-cent gas fees.

It leverages the existing DeFi infrastructure by maintaining full EVM compatibility while reducing the hardware requirements. Other non-EVM chains have tried to solve the scale problem with higher TPS but have struggled to gain significant TVL or activity; 90% of all capital in DeFi is still in EVM.

There is a whole new wave of Bitcoin flowing to DeFi; Garden has been a beneficiary of this shift, garnering $1.1 billion+ volume in just a short period of time. It is a no-brainer to guess that this movement will also happen on Monad, with BTC yield seekers flocking to Monad. 

Users will need a fast and easy way of moving their Bitcoin in and out of Monad. Garden is here to solve just that, letting users move their Bitcoin to Monad and back in 30 seconds with just one click of a button. On the mainnet phase one, Garden will support Bitcoin to MON/USDC/cbBTC bridging on Monad.

The Monad experience is on v2, that’s right! We are lifting the whitelist (next 72 hours only) for the Monad community to try BTC (testnet 4) to/fro USDC/cbBTC swaps on the Monad testnet. The experience on the mainnet will be the same with real monies.
