**How ambitious is Monad?**

In simple terms, it wants to be a "sprint runner that can run a marathon"—retaining the mature ecosystem of Ethereum (no need to change the entire set of smart contracts, development tools, wallets), while ramping up the speed to competitive levels: processing 10,000 transactions per second, with fees so low they can be ignored.

Just compare the current situation to see how crazy this is. The Ethereum mainnet can only handle 20 transactions per second at its peak, and during network congestion, Gas fees can soar to hundreds of dollars; a certain high-performance public chain claims to have thousands of TPS, but it goes down every few days, and worse, it is completely disconnected from the Ethereum ecosystem. What Monad wants is to have "both fish and bear's paw."

**How is a speed demon cultivated?**

**First Move: MonadBFT Consensus Mechanism**
Traditional PoS is like having to raise hands one by one for a vote in a meeting, which is frustratingly slow. Monad's self-developed MonadBFT draws on the design concepts of HotStuff and Jolteon, and the core improvement is:
- Only two rounds of voting are needed to finalize the block (others need to go through a dozen rounds).
- A block is generated in as fast as 400 milliseconds (a significant reduction compared to Ethereum's 12 seconds)
- Even if some nodes go offline or malfunction, the network can still quickly reach a consensus.

For example: Others vote like going through the process of holding a meeting, while Monad gets it done by @all in the WeChat group twice.

**Second Move: Parallel Execution Engine - The Real Game Changer**
This is Monad's killer feature that dares to claim tens of thousands of TPS. Traditional Ethereum processes transactions like a single-threaded queue...
