As the mainnet and MON token officially launched, investor attention remained on token distribution information. Indeed, Monad has maintained a debut structure that prioritizes ecosystem developments and a predictable float. According to Tokenomist data , the airdrop distribution and public sale allocation totals 11 billion tradeable tokens, approximately 10.2% of MON’s total supply. Moreover, the project unlocked 49.5 billion coins (roughly 45.7% of the overall supply) at TGE (token generation event). Meanwhile, the remaining unlocked assets will fund ecosystem reserves that the Monad Foundation will deploy in the coming times to fuel the project’s future expansion. That includes infrastructure rewards, validator delegation, and grants. Inside Monad’s initial supply The team prioritized ecosystem growth in its early MON distribution. As mentioned, the project unlocks 49.5 billion tokens at TGE, and here is the allocation breakdown: 35.6% (38.5B MON) assigned to ecosystem expansion. 6.9% (7.5B MON) distributed through a public sale. 3% (3.3B MON) allocated for the airdrop. 0.2B MON (0.4%) reserved for validator incentives. An additional 50.5 billion Monad tokens remain reserved for the team, treasury, and investors. Source – Tokenomist No one can transfer or stake these assets until vesting starts. Monad’s vesting schedule The vesting model adopts a somewhat supply-tight phase followed by substantial token unlocks later next year, in 2026. After this unlock, Monad will activate monthly token unlocks of roughly 1.16 billion MON coins. For context, Monad will have its initial insider unlock after a year, on November 24, 2026. This event will release 16.8 billion tokens (32.8% of the resealed supply), including 10.7 billion coins for the team, 4.925 billion MON for investors, 1 billion tokens for treasury, and for existing validator rewards. About MON utility The native token MON supports various functions within the Monad ecosystem. Individuals will use it for gas payments, validator and delegator staking, governance participation, collateral, and staking incentives. MON price outlook The altcoin plummeted after its official launch. Coinmarketcap shows it dropped from $0.0329 to $0.02252 before a slight jump to $0.02547 at press time. Chart by Coinmarketcap MON’s trading volume has skyrocketed by nearly 1,000,000%, reflecting robust trader activity. Monad is experiencing amplified selling pressure due to profit-booking post mainnet launch and concerns about its tokenomics model. Also, the altcoin could hardly outperform as its debut coincides with immense bearish sentiment in the broader market.
