As a highly anticipated, yet-to-be-launched flagship public blockchain, Monad continues to make waves with constant activity across online and offline events.
Recently, the startup pitch competition Monad Madness NYC, co-hosted by Monad and several leading institutions, concluded successfully. Six projects emerged as winners: EarnOS, Sauce.GG, LEVR, Hyperplex, Plato, and Symphony.
Let’s take a closer look at these winning projects and explore how the Monad ecosystem is evolving.
🥇 First Place: EarnOS — A Chain-Abstracted Business Platform
EarnOS positions itself as a disruptor of traditional digital advertising platforms, aiming to deliver higher ROI (Return on Investment) for brands while creating new value-capture channels for users.
In simpler terms, EarnOS is a blockchain-based advertising platform. What sets EarnOS apart lies in the XION chain abstraction technology that powers it.
Chain abstraction is central to EarnOS's user-friendly experience—essentially hiding complex on-chain operations behind the scenes. Users can log in and operate the platform using just an email address, seamlessly interacting across all devices. This low barrier to entry enables EarnOS to run creative ad campaigns via social media traffic, customized ads, and AR immersive experiences, transforming user acquisition, engagement, and reward mechanisms in digital advertising.
While technically built on chain abstraction, EarnOS’s business moves are anything but abstract. Months ago, EarnOS integrated with real-world businesses, partnering with global brands like The North Face and Uber to drive on-chain traffic to offline brands. Over 200,000 verified users have completed more than 1.3 million brand interaction activities.
By offering diverse interactive formats and tangible reward systems, EarnOS is gradually turning its #EarnEverywhere slogan into reality.
🥈 Second Place: Sauce.GG — A Meme-Loving Trading Platform
As memes have become a key infrastructure in crypto, meme-focused platforms across blockchains are increasingly essential. Sauce.GG, a dedicated memecoin trading platform, officially launched in August this year.
Sauce.GG emphasizes "fun," enabling trading of meme tokens from Solana, Ethereum, and Base. Its simple interface is packed with rankings of popular memecoins.
Importantly, Sauce.GG doesn’t just focus on trading experience—it deeply understands memecoin culture. Despite the compact design, it dedicates a section to showcasing native meme cultures through memes themselves, reflecting the Monad community’s genuine appreciation and passion for meme culture.
🥉 Third Place: LEVR — A Decentralized Leveraged Entertainment Platform
LEVR combines sports entertainment with decentralized trading strategies, allowing users to invest on-chain with up to 5x leverage. It integrates an oracle-driven liquidation engine to ensure secure and fair outcomes.
The MVP Vault is one of LEVR’s core components and a key innovation. Acting as a counterparty automated market maker (AMM) in both buy (collateral) and redemption markets, this mechanism resembles GMX’s GLP pool and Gains Network’s gDAI vault. In practice, users trade against LEVR’s vault rather than directly against other users.
This model aligns with a binary options framework: at the end of each event, winning tokens are always worth $1, while losing tokens are worth $0. This clear outcome simplifies and transparentizes settlement.
Users gain access to a platform with ample liquidity and fast settlements for leveraged betting. However, as with any leveraged financial product, caution is advised when using LEVR—users should fully understand the risks and comply with local regulations.
👾 Community Awards: Hyperplex, Plato, Symphony

Plato — A Crypto Yelp Where You Earn While Eating?
Plato gamifies dining by partnering with physical restaurants, offering users cashback in its token $FAT for spending at partner locations.
By merging offline consumption with crypto technology, Plato aims to boost user spending and restaurant revenues, while collecting food-related datasets (photos, reviews) to build a new on-chain food map.
Symphony — A Chain-Abstracted Aggregated Trading Platform
Symphony, formerly known as Cadence Protocol, is a DeFi platform focused on solving cross-chain trading and liquidity aggregation, with a unique emphasis on cross-chain functionality and simplified user experience.
Like EarnOS mentioned earlier, Symphony applies chain abstraction to DeFi trading. Its intent-based transaction architecture unifies liquidity across chains and protocols, enabling simplified and low-cost on-chain execution. Additionally, Symphony uses account-abstraction smart contract wallets to eliminate the need for multiple cumbersome on-chain transactions.
The next stop for Monad Madness NYC will be Seoul—stay tuned for more groundbreaking projects on the horizon.
