Summary
In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Eunice Giarta from the Monad Foundation explains how Monad is building a high-performance Layer 1 designed to solve crypto’s biggest tradeoff: speed vs decentralization. She breaks down how Monad’s parallel execution, fast finality, and scalable infrastructure enable real-world use cases like institutional finance and high-frequency trading. The conversation highlights why infrastructure—not just applications—will drive the next phase of crypto growth, especially as institutions demand reliability, low fees, and performance. They also discuss Monad’s rapid ecosystem expansion, developer adoption, and why crypto is still in its early “builder phase” despite market volatility.

| 0:00.0 | All right, everyone, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | We hope everyone's having a good morning or evening because it's no matter where you're coming in from, |
| 0:18.0 | you're certainly in the right place here today. It's going to be |
| 0:21.6 | another killer episode. Hope everyone is having a good time. At the time of recording this, |
| 0:26.1 | we're coming in right after Easter. Crypto market's still pretty choppy, but as we always |
| 0:31.6 | like to say, it's not a bare market. It's a builder's market. And if you've been listening to |
| 0:36.5 | some of the recent episodes, you would really know this. |
| 0:39.0 | I mean, we've had guests from all different industries, all different verticals of all different sizes. |
| 0:43.4 | And the one theme that we keep hearing about, despite whatever's going on with price action, |
| 0:48.9 | is that the crypto market is building. |
| 0:52.0 | There's so much adoption happening. |
| 0:53.9 | You can hear that in the rundowns. |
| 0:55.9 | But here on today's episode, we're really, really stoked because we have Eunice Giarta. |
| 1:00.5 | She is the co-founder, or one of the co-founders over at the Monad Foundation. Monad is a leading |
| 1:06.7 | new age layer one. They're EVM compatible. We're excited to talk to them here today. |
| 1:11.7 | Eunice, welcome. It's good to have you. Glad to be here. Definitely excited. And thanks so much |
| 1:16.9 | for having me on the show, Brandon. Absolutely. You know, we were talking a little bit before the |
| 1:21.6 | podcast started. And I was just telling you, we have someone over on our team. Shout out to Rohit. |
| 1:26.8 | Awesome analysts. But he focuses on two |
| 1:29.0 | different areas, projects that are either very new and in the early stages or projects that are |
| 1:33.4 | very small. And he was the one who pointed you all out to us, like a while back. And I know he's |
| 1:41.5 | been keeping track of this. He's excited for this episode. But we love to keep tabs on what's happening. I mean, it's funny because one of the best things about the podcast is that we truly do get to have a sense of what's going on from leaders in all different sectors. And we just talked to the Solana Foundation about a week ago. And now here we are talking to you. And so we love to hear what's going on in different areas. We like to hear how the overall health of the crypto sector is doing. And we're not just focused on like one area of blockchain tech. So let's kick it off out there. You know, for the listeners who are coming in, they're not sure what Monad is and who you're, you know, what you're working towards. Give us a high level overview to kind of get |
