Technical discussion
The technical discussion is divided into several major areas:
Concepts: reviewing a few crucial concepts from Computer Science
Why blockchain?: offering a mental model for the value of decentralized shared global state
Why Monad: decentralization + performance: summarizing some of the existing bottlenecks in maintaining shared global state in Ethereum, and how Monad addresses them
Consensus: a summary of the novel aspects of Monad's mempool and consensus layers
Execution: a summary of how transactions are executed in Monad, as well as how state is stored
Transaction lifecycle: a walkthrough of the lifecycle of a transaction
Monad enables pipelining and optimization in four major areas to enable exceptional Ethereum Virtual Machine performance and materially advance the decentralization/scalability tradeoff. If you'd like to focus on those areas, please see the relevant pages below:
MonadBFT: pipelined HotStuff consensus with additional research improvements
Deferred Execution: consensus-execution staging
MonadDb: high-performance state backend for merkle trie storage
