Tech & Launches ·
Nansen and Monad have launched Metropolis, a six-week global hackathon featuring four tracks and over $250K in total prize pool for developers building startups on the Monad network. The initiative is designed to attract builder activity to the EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain.
Monad is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 that employs parallel execution and custom consensus to target 10,000 transactions per second while maintaining Ethereum tooling compatibility. The hackathon represents one mechanism for expanding the network's developer ecosystem as it continues post-mainnet growth.
The structure—multiple tracks and a defined prize allocation—suggests differentiated categories of competition, though specific track names and individual prize breakdowns remain unclear from available information. The duration and global scope indicate an attempt to reach builders across geographies rather than a localized event.
