After the Monad Airdrop and Testnet, Here’s My Honest View Before Price Launch

With the $MON token getting ready for its listing on exchanges like Bitget and others, I felt it was a good time to share my personal experience with Monad after spending months on the testnet and taking part in the airdrop. I didn’t just follow the news, I actually used the network to see what it could offer. During the testnet phase, I bridged assets using Owlto, made swaps on Crystal Exchange, and tested a few early dApps that were already building inside the ecosystem. The transactions were fast, low-cost, and smooth enough to feel like a step forward from the usual Ethereum experience. Because it stays EVM-compatible, anyone who’s used Ethereum before can easily understand how Monad works, which makes it more familiar and user-friendly.

As the project moves from testnet to mainnet and into real trading, I’m paying close attention to how it develops. The upcoming price launch will get a lot of attention, but what matters more to me is long-term activity. Monad has positioned itself as a high-performance blockchain with serious scalability goals, and now we will get to see how that plays out as more users arrive. The early community around Monad seems genuinely involved, not just chasing tokens, which is a positive sign for future growth.

The token allocations and ecosystem plans will shape how strong Monad becomes over time, especially as more projects start building. I’m interested in how developers and real users react after launch, because that will decide whether Monad grows into something meaningful in crypto or stays just another short-term trend.

I’d like to hear from others who followed Monad too, what’s your honest take before it goes live? Do you see long-term potential here or just another short-term crypto narrative?
