Monad Says X Account Was Frozen Without Warning After Suspected System Error

Monad’s X account was unavailable for more than three hours after being frozen without warning; co-founder Keone Hon said the team broke no API rules and contacted X support for restoration.

Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by the primary source, x post 2049082247601422384, where Keone Hon directly says Monad’s X account was suspended without warning, that the team’s API behavior was normal, and that X support was contacted for restoration. Odaily’s report titled "Monad 联创:没有违规操作, Monad 账号是由于系统错误导致" independently relays the same details and links to Hon’s post. The duration element is corroborated by PANews’ "Monad的官方X账号已被冻结" and Odaily’s earlier "Monad 官方 X 账号被冻结," which report the account had been frozen for several hours, with PANews specifying nearly four hours. The supplied x post 2048993669189976357 is only a third-party summary and not an official X statement, so it adds little authority. Overall, the core claim is well supported, though the exact duration is better characterized as several hours or nearly four hours rather than precisely established from a single official source.

Summary

Monad’s X account was suspended or frozen for more than three hours, disrupting a key communication channel for the blockchain project. Co-founder Keone Hon said the restriction occurred without warning and was likely caused by a system error, adding that Monad had not engaged in abnormal activity or violated API rules. The team contacted X support to restore access, but no explanation from X or confirmation of reinstatement was provided in the available information.
