TechFlow reports on February 19 that, according to official announcements, aPriori—a liquid staking platform built on Monad and powered by MEV—officially launched its testnet at 15:00 UTC (23:00 Beijing Time), coinciding with the launch of Monad's public testnet Day 1.
With the testnet live, users can now stake testnet tokens $MON on aPriori and receive the liquid staking token $aprMON. As one of the few teams independently operating a Monad testnet faucet, aPriori offers a one-click claim and staking feature, streamlining the user onboarding process.
Founded by former executives from Jump Crypto and Coinbase, aPriori has raised $10 million in funding led by Pantera Capital, with participation from institutions including YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), Consensys, and OKX Ventures, marking it as the largest-funded project in the Monad ecosystem to date.
