Monad Testnet Launch: How to Interact?
Original Title: A Step-by-Step Guide to Interact with the Monad Testnet
Original Author: Asher, Odaily Planet Daily

In April last year, Monad, a mega-project that received a $225 million investment led by Paradigm, is finally open for interaction. Last night, Monad made an announcement on the X platform that the Monad Testnet is now officially live and has distributed test coins to over 8.8 million active Ethereum addresses.

The Monad Testnet is now officially live
Next, Odaily Planet Daily will guide everyone through an overview of Monad and how to participate in the Monad Testnet interaction promptly.
Project Introduction
Monad, developed by the Pyth and Solana teams over more than two years, is a high-performance EVM-compatible L1 public chain. According to the official documentation, Monad defines itself as a PoS-based EVM-compatible high-performance L1 chain that aims to pioneer new public chain possibilities through the execution pipeline of Ethereum transactions. Its key innovations include MonadDB (a database designed specifically for Ethereum state access) and Optimistic Parallel Execution (ensuring high TPS with minimal overhead). By separating the consensus layer from the execution layer, Monad further enhances scalability, enabling developers to build applications that require outstanding performance and low latency.
Monad's groundbreaking progress has positioned it as a robust platform for enterprise-level applications, providing developers with the tools needed to create high TPS DApps while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum, embracing the future of blockchain innovation.
On the evening of April 9, 2024, Monad Labs announced a $30 billion valuation and completed a $225 million funding round led by Paradigm, with participation from Electric Capital and Greenoaks. As one of the most promising projects in the Layer 1 space, Monad, which emphasizes the concept of "Parallel EVM," aims to introduce a "parallel processing" execution layer scaling solution to significantly improve network execution efficiency while remaining 100% EVM bytecode compatible.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
