🧩 Monad Momentum Selected Project Brief
From trading, prediction, gaming to AI Agents: the next wave of builders is gathering on @Monad
When a new chain launches Momentum, the key is not how much subsidy is given, but—who can retain users and truly build value.
In the first wave of the Monad Momentum program , we have seen a group of such projects:
They don’t chase trends or rely on airdrop hype, but speak through their products, speed, and execution.
From DeFi to Prediction, then to gaming and creator economy, together they form the first batch of builder profiles in the Monad ecosystem.
