Monad
Monad is a high-performance EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for parallel execution and pipelined consensus, targeting 10,000 TPS with 1-second block time and single-slot finality while remaining fully Ethereum bytecode-compatible. Mainnet (chain ID 143, native token MON) launched on November 24, 2025 alongside a long-running public testnet. Developer surfaces include public JSON-RPC endpoints (rpc.monad.xyz, testnet-rpc.monad.xyz), an Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC plus Monad-specific extensions, MonadVision, Monadscan, and Socialscan explorers, native EVM tooling (Foundry, Hardhat, Remix), indexers (GhostGraph, QuickNode Streams, Envio HyperIndex), and a Staking API and Machine Payments Protocol.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Monad the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 13 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Monad scores 44.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 39/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Monad
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Monad. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 13
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Monad Mainnet JSON-RPC
Public Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC endpoint for Monad mainnet (chain ID 143, native token MON). Hosted on QuickNode infrastructure with a 25 requests/sec default rate limit; al...
Monad Testnet JSON-RPC
Public JSON-RPC endpoint for the Monad public testnet, used for application development, integration testing, and validator software validation before deploying to mainnet.

Monad Staking API
API for delegating MON to validators, querying validator stats, undelegating, and reading rewards. Backs delegation UI and external staking integrations.
Monad Machine Payments Protocol
Protocol specification for programmable machine-to-machine payments on Monad, including account, channel, and settlement primitives.
MonadVision Block Explorer
Block explorer for Monad mainnet — transaction, block, contract, and token lookup with Solidity source verification.
Monadscan Block Explorer
Etherscan-style Monadscan block explorer covering Monad mainnet, with transaction, address, contract, and token analytics.
Socialscan Monad Explorer
Socialscan instance for Monad, offering an alternative explorer view with social and on-chain identity overlays.
Monad Foundry Toolkit
Monad-flavored Foundry toolkit (forge, cast, anvil) for compiling, deploying, scripting, and testing Solidity against Monad mainnet and testnet.
Monad RPC Providers
Registry of third-party RPC providers supporting Monad — QuickNode, Alchemy, Goldsky Edge, Ankr, MonadInfra — with rate-limit and method-availability differences documented.
Monad Indexers
Indexing options for Monad data — GhostGraph (Graph-style subgraphs), QuickNode Streams, and Envio HyperIndex — for building data backends and analytics on top of Monad.

Open Collections 1
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).
Monad JSON-RPC API
OPEN COLLECTIONGraphQL 1
Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.
GraphQL schemas published by this provider.
Monad GraphQL API
Indexing options for Monad data — GhostGraph (Graph-style subgraphs), QuickNode Streams, and Envio HyperIndex — for building data backends and analytics on top of Monad.
GRAPHQLPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Monad Plans Pricing
PLANSRate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Monad Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
Monad Finops
FINOPSSecurity Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
