Monad Improvement Proposals, explained visually

Interactive, plain-language guides for Monad builders.
Understand MIPs through visualizations, not just specs.

What is a Monad Improvement Proposal?

Monad Improvement Proposals, or MIPs, describe protocol changes and standards for the Monad blockchain. MIP Land turns the technical specifications into interactive explanations for developers, validators, and curious community members.

MIP Land is an independent, community-maintained educational project. Always use the published MIP specification as the authoritative source.

Proposals

Slot access triggers a full 4 KB page read

MIP-8

Page-ified Storage

Aligning EVM storage with hardware reality

See how 4 KB page-aligned reads cut random I/O and reshape gas costs. Explore the slot-to-page mapping, compare gas schedules, and step through real contract scenarios.

Linear Memory

Replacing quadratic memory costs

A linear cost model with a shared 8 MB pool. Watch the cost curve flatten as allocations grow.

MON

MIP-4beta

Reserve Balance Introspection

Detecting reserve violations mid-execution

Letting contracts detect when an account dips below the 10 MON reserve threshold.

Explore

MIP-7beta

Extension Opcodes

Safe opcode expansion via 0xAE namespace

One reserved slot expands to ~220 selectors. Monad adds opcode-level features without risking collision with future Ethereum upgrades.

400300ms

MIP-12beta

Decrease Vote Pace

Faster consensus, scaled proportionally

A draft proposal to vote on blocks 25% faster, dropping the pace from 400ms to 300ms, with per-block limits scaled down to match. See what each parameter change actually means.

Research

Spam probes fill the block, but rarely find a trade

Category Labs

Spam MEV

Blockspace under pressure

Explore how block capacity, gas price floors, and transaction ordering jointly determine spam volumes. Play with the equilibrium model from the paper.

Committee opens only the batch; the rest stays encrypted

Category Labs

BTX

Batched threshold encryption, finally practical

A new scheme for encrypted mempools. Shortest ciphertext of any BTE, collision-free, epochless, and fast enough to keep up with real block times.
