Announcement: Community Call and Updates

LFJ is building the first Public PropAMM on Monad, aiming to bring competitive execution to EVM traders who currently favor centralized exchanges. **What are PropAMMs?** - Oracle-driven pricing with sub-second quote updates - Spreads matching or beating most CEXs - Currently dominant on Solana but closed-source **Why Monad?** Monad's sub-second finality and near-zero costs create the infrastructure needed for onchain price discovery on EVM chains. **The Public Difference** Unlike existing PropAMMs, POE will be: - Open for lending protocol integration - Accessible to retail LPs through structured vaults - Available for atomic arbitrage interactions The thesis: tighter spreads attract more flow, which attracts more market makers, creating a compounding cycle that could shift retail trading from CEXs to onchain venues.

**Monad's DLMM pools are delivering extraordinary yields** with some positions reaching 45,500% APR through concentrated liquidity strategies. **Key Details:** - 100,000 MON deployed in Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker pools - **Reward Range APR** calculated using tight 10 basis point ranges (3 bins) around active price - **Pool APR** averages total TVL against 24-hour fees plus rewards **How It Works:** - Actual APR depends on your deployed range tightness and liquidity distribution - As long as MON price stays within your range, yields can reach **4-digit APR levels** - Tighter ranges around current price maximize efficiency and returns **Boosted Pools Available:** - MON-USDC, AUSD-USDC, wstETH-MON - Various aprMON, gMON, sMON, and shMON pairs - Rewards distributed via Merkl - **claim directly from their dashboard** These yields reflect current low TVL conditions. Returns will adjust as more liquidity enters the ecosystem.

**Trader Joe's Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) posted impressive metrics:** - **TVL increased 36%** in 8 hours - **Volume surged 136%** during the same period - **APR jumped 73%** for liquidity providers The platform recently hit **$6.5M in daily volume** - the highest since April 2024, signaling renewed momentum. *DLMM's automated market making continues attracting liquidity as DeFi activity picks up.*

**Trader Joe has activated incentives** on its Liquidity Book DLMM pools on the Monad network. **Key Features:** - Liquidity providers earn both **$MON and $JOE rewards** plus trading fees - MON/USDC pool generated **$27.5K in fees** this week - **Real-time, on-chain reward distribution** mechanism **Performance Metrics:** - Pools achieved **10x utilization rates** daily in Week 1 - Zero-slippage architecture captures maximum trade flow - Significantly outperforms other Monad DEXs in volume-to-TVL ratio **How It Works:** - Rewards distributed based on **proportional liquidity share** - Reward range moves with active price bin - Keep liquidity active to **maximize earnings** More incentive programs are planned for the future.

**Monad's mainnet officially launched** three days ago, marking a significant milestone for the layer-1 blockchain network. The **MON token** is now live alongside the mainnet, following the Foundation's earlier announcement from November that promised a launch this month after the airdrop claim period. **Community focus has shifted** to an unexpected debate: determining Monad's official mascot. This question has emerged as a primary discussion point among users in the days following the mainnet launch. The successful deployment represents the culmination of Monad's development as a **high-performance blockchain** designed to compete in the layer-1 space.
