Trader Joe DLMM Shows Strong Growth with 136% Volume Surge

**LFJ is building POE**, a public Proprietary Automated Market Maker (PropAMM) on Monad, aiming to bring CEX-level execution to EVM chains. **Key differences:** - **Private PropAMMs** offer better execution but remain closed systems - **Public PropAMMs** become composable infrastructure that other protocols can build on **What POE enables:** - Open contracts with onchain prices readable by any protocol - Lending markets gain oracle access - Aggregators achieve atomic best-execution - Retail LPs can participate through automated vaults **Why Monad?** Monad's sub-second finality and near-zero costs create the infrastructure needed for PropAMMs to match CEX spreads on EVM, similar to what's already working on Solana. The goal: transform PropAMM technology from a better exchange into composable infrastructure for the entire ecosystem.

**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.
