Monad Mainnet Is Now Live — Powerful Cross-Chain Swaps Available on SwapKit via NEAR Intents

The Monad mainnet is officially live, marking the arrival of a next-generation, EVM-compatible Layer-1 designed for high throughput, low latency, and global-scale onchain adoption. As the ecosystem begins deploying onto Monad, SwapKit is excited to announce that cross-chain swaps into Monad are now live via NEAR Intents, enabling instant and seamless onboarding for users across supported wallets, dApps, and platforms.

With this integration, SwapKit becomes one of the first cross-chain liquidity layers to provide day-one, non-custodial access to the Monad ecosystem.

Go here for a quick guide on how to integrate Monad with SwapKit.


What the Monad Mainnet Brings to the Ecosystem

The Monad mainnet represents a major advancement in blockchain performance and developer experience. Built on a re-engineered execution pipeline, Monad delivers:

→ Optimistic Parallel Execution

A redesigned engine that processes multiple transactions concurrently, dramatically improving throughput while retaining deterministic EVM behavior.

→ MonadDB: A High-Performance Data Layer

A custom database tailored for high-frequency, low-latency dApps — ideal for DeFi, exchanges, consumer-scale apps, and automation.

→ Full EVM Compatibility

Developers can deploy using:

  • Solidity
  • Foundry
  • Hardhat
  • Standard EVM frameworks

This eliminates migration friction and accelerates app deployment on the Monad mainnet.

→ Low Fees & Fast Finality

Optimized to support global audiences, high-volume trading, and consumer-scale applications.

The launch of the Monad mainnet marks a new chapter for high-performance EVM chains.


Cross-Chain Swaps Into Monad Are Now Live on SwapKit

SwapKit now routes native cross-chain swaps directly into Monad using NEAR Intents, bringing immediate benefits for integrators:

→ Direct Onboarding Into Monad

Swap from:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • EVM L1s/L2s
  • Other supported chains

…straight into assets on the Monad mainnet.

→ Zero Engineering Required

For existing SwapKit partners:

  • No new integration
  • No additional logic
  • No maintenance burden

Monad support activates automatically in SDK v4 and the unified API.

→ Non-Custodial & Permissionless Execution

All swaps remain:

  • Trust-minimized
  • Permissionless
  • Transparent
  • Fully self-custodial

→ Best-in-Class User Experience

Users gain:

  • A single-step swap flow
  • Automated gas handling
  • No need for bridges or manual hops
  • A smooth path into the Monad mainnet ecosystem

How SwapKit Makes Monad Access Instant

SwapKit abstracts Monad routing through NEAR Intents and exposes a unified interface for integrators. This includes:

  • Cross-chain quoting
  • Routing optimization
  • Gas + fee estimation
  • Onchain execution logic
  • Intent settlement tracking
  • Unified error handling

For developers, integrating Monad swaps requires no new code.

For users, it means instant, native access to Monad from any supported chain.


Why Day-One Support Matters for Wallets & dApps

Launching with Monad mainnet support empowers integrators to:

→ Capture Launch-Week Liquidity

New L1s historically experience elevated swap activity and asset inflows.

→ Improve User Conversion

Directly routing into Monad reduces friction and bounce points.

→ Reduce Build Costs

SwapKit eliminates the need to:

  • Build bridge flows
  • Maintain chain-specific logic
  • Monitor liquidity sources manually

→ Stay Synced With a Fast-Growing Ecosystem

As Monad evolves, SwapKit will automatically:

  • Add new assets
  • Expand routing
  • Update liquidity
  • Improve pricing engines

All without breaking integrator implementations.


What’s Next

SwapKit will continue enhancing its Monad support with:

  • Additional asset pairs
  • New routing providers
  • Expanded liquidity
  • Developer documentation
  • Co-marketing opportunities
