Nad DEX On Monad

Decentralization And Performance Without Compromise

As a Monad-native DEX, Nad DEX’s mission is to deliver the speed, interactivity, and cost-efficiency users expect from centralized platforms, without sacrificing the decentralization and transparency that define DeFi. This is exactly why we chose Monad.

Performance That Unlocks New UX

Traditional EVM chains are limited by single-threaded execution and coupled consensus, restricting throughput and driving up gas fees during peak demand – major UX killers for active trading environments. Monad changes the game with:

• 10,000 TPS throughput

• 500ms block times

• 1-second finality

This enables a CEX-like experience with instant trade confirmations, low latency, and negligible transaction costs, even for complex smart contract interactions. For a DEX, that means supporting on-chain order books, real-time UIs, and power users without breaking a sweat.

Ethereum Compatibility, No Tradeoffs

Monad is fully EVM-equivalent and bytecode-compatible, meaning:

• All existing Solidity contracts work out of the box.

• No changes needed for address formats, signatures, or wallets.

This lets Nad DEX reuse the existing Ethereum DeFi stack while building on a fundamentally more performant base chain.

Parallel And Pipelined Execution

Monad introduces parallel execution and superscalar pipelining at the VM and consensus layers:

• Parallel execution: Monad can run multiple transactions across cores while preserving the exact same serial ordering – essential for DEXs where execution determinism matters.

• Pipelined consensus and execution: Validation doesn’t block throughput, unlocking much higher gas limits and execution budgets per block.

This architecture allows Nad DEX to build features like:

• Fully on-chain matching engines.

• High-frequency strategies or social trading without congestion.

• Granular analytics and audits, thanks to faster state access and finality.

Decentralized, Credibly Neutral

Most high-performance chains today cut corners – e.g., centralized sequencers, geographic constraints, or high hardware requirements. Monad, by contrast, is designed to preserve decentralization:

• Proof-of-Stake with pipelined BFT consensus (MonadBFT).

• Anyone can run a full node with commodity hardware.

• Deterministic state transitions with guaranteed re-execution for integrity.

For a permissionless trading venue, this is non-negotiable. It ensures no one can censor transactions, manipulate ordering, or gain unfair advantages.

Infrastructure Provider

Nad DEX is powered by Orderly white-label DEX infrastructure, allowing new exchanges to launch seamlessly on emerging chains while plugging into a shared backend and growth ecosystem. This modular model means Orderly can rapidly replicate the Nad DEX blueprint across new networks, each with local branding and unique liquidity strategies.

As such, Nad DEX inherits battle-tested smart contracts, deep DeFi expertise, and a proven product stack – giving it the speed, scalability, and flexibility to thrive on Monad from day one.
