Monad Invites 150 Validators for Testnet-2

Monad is inviting up to 150 validators for Testnet-2, a crucial phase designed to enhance validator readiness ahead of the mainnet launch. The program, spearheaded by co-founder Keone Hon, aims to improve decentralization and network resilience. Scheduled for late May 2025, this initiative follows the success of Testnet-1 in February 2025 which boosted transaction throughput and engaged validators. Testnet-2 focuses on technical preparations for a future mainnet launch while remaining exclusive to validators. No public token activities are involved, limiting the impact on liquidity and total value locked.
