Monad, a Layer-1 blockchain project, teased privacy technology in a video posted on its official X account, saying "Privacy is coming" and pointing to October 6, 2026. Category Labs, the developer of Monad’s blockchain infrastructure, is expected to present the technology at the Monad Foundation’s first Open summit in Singapore.
