Monad is once again “exploding” – TVL surpasses 327m USD, small airdrop
surprisingly and the Purple Cult community is vibrant. In the last days of March 2026, the name Monad has once again become a hot topic on Binance Square, Crypto Twitter, and DeFi groups. Just over 4 months after the mainnet launch, this EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with the ambition to achieve 10,000 TPS is demonstrating strong vitality despite the market being sideways. TVL increased impressively amidst
when the market is “resting”. According to data from DefiLlama, the Total Value Locked (TVL) of Monad officially reached 327.54 million USD on March 27, 2026. This figure doubled compared to the early stage after the mainnet (around 150 million USD).
Bridged TVL even reached over 654 million USD, showing that capital is flowing strongly into the chain. The biggest highlight is the growth from actual activities:
Uniswap v3 (and some new versions) have deployed on Monad, pushing daily DEX volume up to 46.3 million USD. The stablecoin market cap on the chain is nearly 443 million USD. Many DeFi protocols on Monad are generating fees higher than the base chain, proving that users and liquidity are truly “locked in” instead of just farming airdrops. This has led many to compare Monad to “the second Solana” – a high-speed chain, low gas, EVM-compatible, and building a solid ecosystem. The small airdrop “refill gas tank” has excited the community. On March 30, 2026, the official Monad account posted a tweet that made thousands of people check their wallets immediately: “Time to check your wallet if you’ve been active on-chain and have a Monad NFT – your gas tank might be looking fuller.” Monad just distributed 8 million $MON to active wallets on the mainnet, mainly Monad NFT holders, users maintaining on-chain activity. #CreatorpadVN
