Forward the Original Title: Monad Ecosystem Guide: Consumer dApp Part 2

The Monad ecosystem brings together a rich and rapidly growing variety of consumer-grade dApps. These applications fully capitalize on Monad’s high performance, low gas fees, and high transaction throughput, enhancing user experiences in an EVM-compatible environment. This issue introduces consumer projects in the Monad ecosystem, covering multiple areas such as on-chain transactions, gamified social interaction, physical business payments, and NFT issuance and trading. It fully demonstrates the breadth and depth of decentralized applications in the Web3 era.

Narrative

@narrativexyz is an innovative native DeFi protocol built on Monad, designed to simplify users’ investment strategies in the hot narratives of the crypto market. Instead of requiring traders to manually track and time investments in individual tokens related to different narratives, Narrative allows users to gain overall exposure to specific themes through curated asset baskets. This approach reduces the complexity for users engaging in speculative market trends such as AI Agents, DePIN, Meme sectors, and other popular sectors.

The protocol introduces data-driven dynamic vaults that support users in taking long or short positions on entire market narratives. By combining on-chain and off-chain AI data aggregation, Narrative ensures that asset allocation remains aligned with the latest market trends, providing users with more representative investment tools.

Example: The Narrative Shifts in the Crypto Industry from 2008 to 2022

Core functions

Get Exposure to Market Narratives through Thematic Asset Baskets

Long & Short Strategies: Users no longer need to pick individual tokens but can directly take long or short positions on entire market narratives.

Leverage Options: Narrative provides leveraged exposure, allowing traders to amplify their positions and improve capital efficiency.

Dynamic Rebalancing: The protocol continuously adjusts the asset allocations in each vault based on real-time market data, ensuring that the portfolios stay in tune with market trends.

Proprietary Data Aggregation Model

• On-Chain & Off-Chain Data Analysis: Narrative aggregates data from multiple sources, including key metrics such as TVL (Total Value Locked), DAU (Daily Active Users), MAU (Monthly Active Users), and token velocity, to optimize asset allocation.
• Meme Sector Sentiment Analysis: The protocol uses social media interaction data (such as Twitter mentions and community growth rate) to track speculative trends in the Meme sector, ensuring that vault configurations align with market sentiment.

Efficient Trading on Monad

• High Throughput & Execution Efficiency: Monad supports up to 10,000 TPS, eliminating execution bottlenecks. Traders can execute asset rebalancing or leveraged trades with near-instant transactions, reducing slippage and market impact costs.
• EVM Compatibility & Parallel Execution: Developers and traders can seamlessly integrate tools from the EVM ecosystem, while Monad’s parallel execution mechanism ensures that Narrative’s dynamic vaults can adjust in real time without causing transaction congestion or delays.
• Low Latency & Cost Optimization: Narrative relies on high-frequency data rebalancing, requiring highly scalable blockchain infrastructure. Monad’s optimized virtual machine and parallel transaction processing provide the ideal execution environment. Compared to traditional DeFi thematic index funds that face high gas fees and delayed updates, Monad’s efficient execution layer significantly reduces operational costs, making Narrative highly suitable for small and medium-sized traders while enhancing overall market liquidity.

Benchmark Projects

• @indexcoop: Provides index products similar to the DeFi Pulse Index, allowing users to gain exposure to the DeFi sector through a basket of assets.

The launch of Narrative marks the evolution of how traders participate in narrative-based investments in the crypto market. Users no longer need to manually select and manage multiple tokens but can efficiently gain exposure to entire sectors using data-driven vaults. This model improves capital efficiency while reducing the risk of poor token selection. With the growing influence of AI trading strategies and on-chain sentiment analysis in the market, Narrative is set to become a foundational tool for retail and institutional investors tracking market trends and seizing opportunities.

Relying on Monad’s high-performance infrastructure, along with proprietary data aggregation, dynamic vault rebalancing, and an efficient trading environment, Narrative offers a more powerful narrative trading experience, enhancing market efficiency. As the crypto market matures, tools like Narrative have the potential to reshape the flow of speculative capital across the ecosystem, leading new market development directions.

Bloc.im

Bloc.im is an emerging platform focused on NFT issuance and its ecosystem development, designed to help creators easily create and launch NFT collections and further expand them into a complete tokenized ecosystem. Currently, Bloc.im is preparing for its public beta launch on Monad’s testnet, with more details yet to be disclosed, but existing information highlights several unique features of the platform:

Core Features

1. NFT Series Creation and Pricing Mechanism:
   • Supply and Pricing Configuration: Creators can set the total supply of NFTs and use a “Step Pricing Curve” to determine prices, aligning with market demand.
   • Sales Threshold Triggers Token Generation: Creators can set specific sales thresholds (e.g., 70% of NFTs sold). Once the threshold is met, the corresponding tokens will automatically be generated, further empowering NFT holders.
2. Token Generation and Liquidity Configuration:
   • Liquidity Allocation: A portion of the proceeds from NFT sales is automatically allocated to liquidity for the newly created tokens, ensuring market depth and price stability.
   • NFT Holders Claim Tokens: NFT holders can claim their corresponding tokens and choose different vesting options, allowing for flexible asset management.
3. “Diamond Hand” Vesting Mechanism:
   • Long-Term Holding Incentive: A default linear vesting plan with a 1-year release period.
   • Early Unlock Penalty: For example, if an NFT holder withdraws tokens within 6 months, 50% of the unvested tokens will be burned, thus encouraging long-term holding and maintaining the stability of the token economy.

Monad-Enabled Bloc.im NFT Ecosystem

Bloc.im is built on the Monad blockchain, whose core advantages make NFT issuance and management more efficient and cost-effective:

• High Throughput (10,000 TPS): Ensures a smooth experience for minting NFTs, trading, and token claiming.
• Extremely Low Gas Fees: Reduces the costs of NFT transactions and liquidity configuration, optimizing user returns.
• EVM Compatibility: Supports seamless integration with Ethereum ecosystem tools, accelerating development efficiency.

Bloc.im offers a new way for users to create NFT series and integrate them with a token economy through innovative mechanisms. The platform supports NFT issuance, pricing, token generation, and liquidity configuration, providing a more efficient NFT ecosystem for creators and investors. By leveraging Monad’s technological features, it offers an efficient, low-cost, and easy-to-manage NFT issuance solution, allowing creators to easily build an NFT economy while empowering NFT holders with more diverse asset appreciation methods.
