Monad's mainnet launch may be imminent. Last month, the official Monad X account hinted that the mainnet would go live "this year," and co-founder Keone Hon revealed last week that the initial total supply of Monad’s native gas token will be 100 billion.
All signs point to a token launch from Monad being just around the corner. This article lists a number of applications within the Monad ecosystem where users can participate, helping them catch the "final airdrop wave" while also earning yield.
Note: MN stands for "Monad Native Application," referring to apps deployed exclusively on the Monad ecosystem from day one of mainnet launch.
