Monad: A High-Performance, EVM-Compatible Layer 1 Blockchain
Project Overview
Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain fully compatible with Ethereum. Developed over two years by former members of the Pyth and Solana teams, Monad defines itself as a Proof-of-Stake (PoS)-based, EVM-compatible Layer 1 that pioneers a new paradigm in blockchain scalability through pipelined Ethereum transaction execution. Its core innovations include MonadDB, a purpose-built database optimized for Ethereum state access, and Optimistic Parallel Execution, which enables high transaction throughput (TPS) with minimal overhead.
On April 9, 2024, Monad Labs announced a $225 million fundraising round at a $3 billion valuation, led by Paradigm, with participation from Electric Capital, Greenoaks, and others. As one of the most anticipated Layer 1 projects in the space, Monad champions the concept of a Parallel EVM, introducing parallel processing at the execution layer to significantly enhance performance—while maintaining 100% compatibility with all Ethereum bytecodes.

Infinex: Bridging CeFi and DeFi with Enhanced Usability
Project Overview
Infinex is a decentralized finance platform launched in April 2024 by Kain Warwick, the founder of Synthetix. The project aims to bridge the gap between CeFi (Centralized Finance) and DeFi (Decentralized Finance), offering a user experience as smooth as that of centralized exchanges—while maintaining the non-custodial security and transparency of decentralized protocols.
Participation Guide
According to Kain, the Token Generation Event (TGE) is expected to take place between late December and early January, preceded by a “Sonar” presale. All Infinex tokens will be 100% distributed to Patron NFT holders, with future plans to transform the Patron NFT collection into a PFP series. Through a synthetic consolidation mechanism, the total NFT supply will be reduced to 25,000–50,000 units.
In addition, Kain confirmed that the team has voluntarily extended the lock-up period for its 20% token allocation by an additional 12 months, followed by a 12-month linear vesting schedule after unlocking. This move is intended to ensure long-term alignment and prevent premature liquidity before the platform achieves product-market fit.
HumidiFi: Solana's Top DEX Utilizing Dark Pool AMM
Project Overview
HumidiFi is a Dark Pool Automated Market Maker (Dark Pool AMM) — a new class of decentralized trading platforms emerging within the Solana ecosystem. Unlike traditional DEXs such as Uniswap, HumidiFi operates off-frontend, with no official website and no user-provided liquidity pools. Instead, it relies on anonymous creators’ self-funded liquidity and executes trades routed through aggregators like Jupiter.
According to DefiLlama, HumidiFi recorded a trading volume of $35.9 billion in October, surpassing Meteora ($34 billion) and Raydium ($22.7 billion), making it the largest decentralized trading platform by volume on Solana.
Participation Guide
On October 30, Jupiter announced via X (formerly Twitter) that the first ICO project on its DTF platform would be HumidiFi.
The token sale will occur in three phases:
- Whitelist Round
- JUP Token Stakers Round
- Public Sale (First-Come, First-Served)
Accepted payment methods include SOL and USDC.
BREAKING:
The first ICO on our DTF platform will be @humidifi_
They're a prop AMM responsible for nearly 35% of ALL volume on Solana.
So let us know: Who's ready to get $WET?
