Performance Needs an Onramp
Monad launched in 2025 with a clear promise: bring parallel execution to the EVM and give developers the performance to build products the EVM has never supported before.
10,000 TPS, 400ms block times, 800ms finality
Full EVM compatibility, meaning every tool, library, and contract that works on Ethereum works on Monad
Performance only becomes useful when users and capital can reach it, because users do not start in one place. They hold assets across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, and other networks, which means access to Monad depends on the quality of the route in.
Mayan was live on Monad on mainnet launch day as the movement layer into the ecosystem, and the numbers now show what that route has become.
Live From Day One
Demand showed up within the first 24 hours of mainnet:
$24M+ moved through Mayan on Monad's launch day, across 11,000+ swaps.
$50M+ and nearly 15,000 wallets arrived in the first week.
$100M in cumulative volume within the first two weeks.
The takeaway for any chain planning a launch: the launch window is when access matters most, and Monad's launch showed what happens when the route in is live before the demand arrives.
The Scale of Monad Flows
Since launch, more than $500M has moved into Monad through Mayan.
Capital reaches Monad from wherever it already sits, which is exactly what a new high-performance chain needs during its growth phase.
Ethereum is the largest corridor by volume, with $170M+ moved into Monad to date.
Solana is the most-used route into Monad by swap count.
Why Apps Route Through Mayan
When a user wants to move ETH to MON, USDC on Ethereum to Monad, or SOL to an EVM chain, Mayan handles the swap in one flow. The user chooses the asset they have, chooses the asset they want, confirms the transaction, and receives funds on the destination chain.
Behind that experience, Mayan runs a network of solvers that compete for every order in real time. The solver that delivers the best rate wins and executes the swap, which means the user gets the best rate the market can produce for that order.
Mayan provides:
Instant: orders fill in seconds, because solvers execute immediately.
Best price: competition between solvers on every order, at minimal cost.
Proven: $20B+ settled across 9M+ swaps network-wide gives products a track record to build on.
What It Means for Monad Builders
Monad's growth through Mayan gives builders a clear signal: the demand is already there, and it is coming through the same route any team can integrate.
That matters across product categories:
DeFi products that need deposits from outside Monad.
Wallets that want to give users direct Monad access.
Aggregators that need reliable routes into new markets.
Consumer apps that want onboarding to feel native.
Trading products that depend on fast capital movement.
Monad is built for performance, which means the products on Monad should not be limited by slow or fragmented access. Mayan gives builders a route that has already moved hundreds of millions of dollars into Monad within months of launch.
For Builders
Any team can integrate the same route that has already moved $500M+ into Monad.
Mayan currently supports Solana, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, Sui, Monad, HyperEVM, Hyperliquid, Avalanche, Polygon, Unichain, and Linea.
Integration runs through the Mayan SDK, @mayanfinance/swap-sdk. A few core functions handle the full swap flow:

Every swap can generate a fee for the integrating team, settled onchain automatically with no invoicing or reconciliation, which turns cross-chain demand into product usage and revenue while the experience stays inside your product.
