Monad & Nad.fun: How to Get Volume and Trend in 2026

What Is Monad?

Monad is a high-performance, parallel-EVM Layer 1 blockchain (chain ID 143) built to run Ethereum-style apps at far higher throughput. Mainnet went live on November 24, 2025, after one of the most anticipated L1 launches in recent memory. It is fully EVM-compatible, so standard tooling and wallets work unchanged, and it uses MON as its native gas token. The headline feature is parallel execution combined with pipelined blocks, which delivers sub-second block times.

Speed keeps improving. A June 2026 hard fork cut block times from roughly 400ms to 300ms, and the 2026 Cadence consensus upgrade is targeting block times near 100ms. Because Monad is EVM-compatible, developers deploy with standard Ethereum tooling and users connect familiar wallets; the public RPC is at rpc.monad.xyz and on-chain activity is verifiable on MonadVision (monadvision.com), the chain’s block explorer. As of July 2026, Monad has drawn 300+ ecosystem apps, and DexScreener indexes the chain at dexscreener.com/monad. You can read more chain-level detail on our Monad chain page.

What Is Nad.fun and How the Launchpad Works

Nad.fun is the dominant native memecoin launchpad on Monad — community-driven token discovery under the tagline “Launch. Trade. Predict. On Monad.” It raised a $1.1 million seed round led by Neoclassic Capital in November 2025. When the memecoin crowd launches on Monad, they launch here. Live examples as of July 2026 include tokens like CHOG, MOLANDAK, and aprMON.

The launch model matters. A Nad.fun token starts on a bonding curve: buyers and sellers trade directly against the curve on nad.fun the moment it launches, with price rising as supply is bought. The token graduates when the curve gathers roughly 225,000 MON and about 80% of supply has been sold — at that point the remaining supply and the accumulated funds move into a tradeable liquidity pool. Graduated tokens pair against MON and are indexed by DexScreener under dexId “nad-fun”. This is the same bonding-curve-then-graduate model pump.fun pioneered on Solana — and it is different from launchpads like DyorSwap or noxa.fun that launch straight into locked pools. A competing multichain launchpad, noxa.fi, also lists Monad.

Why Volume Is the Whole Game on Monad

On Monad, volume is the ranking signal. Once a Nad.fun token graduates into a tradeable liquidity pool, its pair against MON is indexed by DexScreener at dexscreener.com/monad under dexId “nad-fun”, where tokens are ranked by trading volume and transaction count. A token with real volume climbs the board; a token with zero volume is invisible no matter how good the meme is. The same is true for Monad tokens trading on Uniswap and PancakeSwap pools.

This is where OpenLiquid comes in. OpenLiquid, a Telegram-based crypto volume bot supporting Monad and 10 other chains across 20 DEXs, generates real on-chain trades through your token’s pool — the trades that DexScreener counts when it ranks tokens. OpenLiquid works on graduated Nad.fun tokens (those with tradeable pools) and on Monad Uniswap and PancakeSwap pools. The full mechanics of trending are broken down in our guide on how to get trending on Nad.fun.

Nad.fun vs Pump.fun vs DyorSwap

Nad.fun on Monad, pump.fun on Solana, and DyorSwap on Stable chain represent two launchpad models. Nad.fun and pump.fun both run a bonding curve first and then graduate into a tradeable pool; DyorSwap skips the curve and launches straight into permanently locked liquidity pools. The gas token differs on each chain.

Feature	Nad.fun (Monad)	Pump.fun (Solana)	DyorSwap (Stable)
Chain	Monad (parallel-EVM L1, chain ID 143)	Solana	Stable (USDT-native L1)
Launch model	Bonding curve, tradeable immediately	Bonding curve, tradeable immediately	Direct launch into permanently locked pool
Graduation	Graduates to a tradeable pool at ~225,000 MON (~80% of supply sold)	Migrates to PumpSwap at a threshold	None — liquidity locked from block one, no migration
Gas token	MON	SOL	USDT0 (dollar-pegged)

Bottom line: Nad.fun and pump.fun share the bonding-curve model — launch, trade the curve, then graduate into a pool — so if you have run a pump.fun launch, Nad.fun will feel familiar. As one of the newest major L1s, Monad’s trending boards are far less crowded than Solana’s.

How to Get Volume on a Nad.fun Token

Boosting volume on a graduated Monad token takes about two minutes and four steps, all inside Telegram.

1. Open the bot and select Monad. Launch OpenLiquid in Telegram and pick Monad from the chain list. Volume works on graduated Nad.fun tokens with tradeable pools, and on Monad Uniswap and PancakeSwap pools.
2. Paste your token’s contract address. The bot finds your pool automatically — every pool type is supported, no need to know the pool address.
3. Set min swap, max swap, and trade delay. These control trade size and pacing so the volume looks like distributed, organic trading — and your cost stays a flat 1% of the target volume, with gas covered by OpenLiquid.
4. Set your target and press Boost Volume Now. The bot generates real, randomized swaps across multiple wallets and reports live progress.

Within minutes, that volume shows up on your DexScreener chart at dexscreener.com/monad. Every trade is a real on-chain swap you can verify on MonadVision — not fake data. It is non-custodial throughout: you never hand over your token supply or keys. Prefer hands-off? The Monad volume bot page covers the done-for-you option, and our best Monad volume bots roundup compares the alternatives.

Launching rather than boosting? Because Nad.fun tokens are tradeable from the first block of the bonding curve, some creators look at multi-wallet launch tactics — we cover what that involves (and its risks) in our Nad.fun bundler explainer.
