Keone Hon from Monad Lianchuang stated: "I feel that the lending protocol for the liquidity pool should set rate limits on the supply of assets deposited as collateral. For example, if the current supply is 100 million and the supply cap is 300 million, then in the next 10 minutes, the maximum allowed increase should be to 110 million, rather than allowing a one-time deposit of the full 200 million. In reality, no one needs to complete such a large deposit all at once.This is important because when certain exotic assets are attacked, the impact depends on the scale of the exit channels for that asset. Especially in many cases where attacks belong to infinite issuance vulnerabilities, the scale of the exit that can be made essentially determines the upper limit of the attack losses. Lending protocols are often the largest exit channels. If a smart cap is introduced, where the initial cap is slightly above the current supply and is gradually adjusted to the real cap over several hours, it would have a huge effect. With such a mechanism, rsETH depositors could have avoided about 200 million dollars in losses.This also raises a point: the asset issuers themselves should support such mechanisms. If you are issuing redeemable tokens with redemption delays, you are not worried about hackers redeeming directly from you, but you need to compress the scale of external exit paths as much as possible without affecting normal users. Therefore, a high supply cap should be seen as a risk rather than a symbol of strength. For example, the Hyperbridge DOT attack did not result in a 100 million dollar loss because there were very few exit paths; the Resolv attack loss was 24 million dollars instead of 200 million dollars because the scale of the exit path limited the loss cap. This is an obvious principle, but there are still immediately actionable measures: audit the supply caps of all assets and lower the caps when unnecessary."

Monad co-founder Keone Hon released a protocol security self-inspection checklist on the X platform, focusing on core issues such as management permissions, fund security, and multi-signature mechanism design, which mainly includes ten points:Clearly identify which admin functions may lead to fund loss;Ensure that relevant operations are time-locked;Establish a real-time monitoring mechanism;Provide timely alerts when admin functions are called;Review all privileged accounts and try to use a multi-signature (k-of-n) structure;Clarify signature threshold parameters;Multi-signature signers should use independent cold devices solely for signing operations and follow best practices (such as independently verifying transaction hashes);Set rate limits on withdrawals and avoid control by the same multi-signature;Ensure employee devices have malware detection and management capabilities;Predefine extreme scenarios where multi-signature signers are compromised, reverse engineer potential attack paths from the attacker's perspective, and optimize system design accordingly to increase attack costs and complexity.

The network is fully compatible with the existing Ethereum ecosystem. MON, as the native token of Monad, is used to pay transaction fees and secure the network through a staking mechanism, aligning the interests of validators, developers, and users with the long-term development of the protocol.Staking MON on Bybit can achieve higher annualized returns, offer a smoother staking process, and provide more flexible staking and redemption options. Users can earn staking rewards while maintaining blockchain security, supporting the development of decentralized infrastructure for the network.

According to GMGN market data, influenced by yesterday's market, the Meme coin CHOG on the Monad chain briefly saw its market value drop below $2.5 million yesterday, and then continued to rebound, with an increase of about 60% in the last 24 hours. The current market value is approximately $4.1 million, with a current price of about $0.0041, having recovered from yesterday's decline, now making it the largest Meme by market value on the Monad chain.ChainCatcher reminds users that Meme coin trading is highly volatile, largely relying on market sentiment and speculative concepts, and has no actual value or use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.

In response to Arthur Hayes' frequent criticism of MON, Monad founder Keone Hon stated on X: "I have great respect for everything you have done for the industry. Perpetual contracts are an amazing innovation, and I believe they will continue to grow rapidly in the future. Over the past few days, I have seen you comment on Monad multiple times. While some of the content may have been taken out of context, I think you might be interested in what makes Monad unique. I am sure that when you were innovating at BitMEX, you faced a lot of FUD, but you confronted the doubts and kept moving forward. I also dare to respond in the same way... If you are willing to try Monad, I can send you some MON."Previously, Arthur Hayes had repeatedly criticized Monad, even stating that he wanted to send MON to "zero."

According to official news, Binance Wallet has added support for the Monad network, allowing users to seamlessly exchange, cross-chain, and manage Monad assets.

According to The Defiant, Hyperliquid has sparked controversy by unilaterally changing the token symbol. The gaming project Pixelmon purchased the MON token symbol for nearly $500,000 earlier this year through Hyperliquid's permissionless auction feature, but the symbol has now been replaced by Monad's MON token.In Hyperliquid's front-end interface, Pixelmon's MON has been changed to MONPRO, while Monad's token, deployed by the leading tokenization layer Unit, has become the default MON. Although block explorers show that Pixelmon technically still holds the MON symbol (Monad is UMON), Hyperliquid Labs has overridden the front-end display, raising questions about the exchange's claims of decentralization.Crypto gaming investor Grail.eth criticized, stating: Hyperliquid has effectively deceived all buyers of token symbol auctions by forcibly taking Pixelmon's MON and handing it over to Monad. The entire value proposition of purchasing these symbols is the immutability and front-end interface that comes with the purchase.Previously, it was reported that Pixelmon's MON plummeted 98% after its launch in May 2024, with its market cap dropping from $53 million to $6 million.

The decentralized contract trading platform Sun Wukong (SunX) has recently added MONAD and ZEN USDT margin contract trading, supporting up to 20x leverage.
