Making Consensus Great Again As the scale of the improvements in Monad's execution systems have evolved, the needs of the consensus mechanism have evolved as well. You can't drive a Formula One car on generic tires. Initially, the plan was to use Tendermint/CometBFT, but the

Tail-forking: Like being next in line for pizza, but someone jumps ahead and snatches your slice. 🍕 With MonadBFT, no more pizza thieves!

I'm quite pleased with the impact my research is having on our community. I'm aware of at least five different projects that have implemented of Fast-HotStuff or its variant, and the primary feedback from these teams is that the protocol genuinely performs well in practice.

A fast, tail-fork resistant L1 like Monad can natively deliver faster, more secure, and more reliable preconfirmations, matching the latency of a fast L2 sequencer, without relying on a slow L1 for finality or fraud proofs.

The issue is that L2 finality isn’t anchored to the real-time finality of a fast L1, instead, it’s delayed by slow consensus and a long, complex fraud-proof window.

Centralized sequencers should be compared to Web2 servers in terms of performance, not to decentralized L1s. Don’t be misleading.

A fantastic breakdown of MonadBFT by Keone Hon ⨀ (starting at min 19) , showing how it's a key part of Monad's overall design, crucial for achieving both scalability and decentralization.

Blockchain is steered by contrasting philosophies. Recent shifts across ecosystems, from decentralization-first to coordination and scale-first hint at convergence. Our design focus has always been scalability with decentralization.
