Monad to Launch Layer 1 Blockchain and MON Token on November 24

Anchorage Digital will support custody and staking for MON tokens via its platform and Porto wallet, expanding institutional participation in Monad’s upcoming Layer 1 launch.

Fact Check
The assessment is "likely_true" with high confidence based on strong, consistent evidence from multiple reputable sources. A significant majority of the provided sources with high relevance directly and explicitly state that Monad's Layer 1 blockchain and MON token are planned to launch on November 24. This includes reports from a major crypto publication, a crypto data platform, and several crypto news outlets. One source even provides a specific time for the launch, adding to the credibility of the claim.While two high-authority sources confirm the upcoming launch of the network and token, they do not specify the date, thereby neither supporting nor refuting the November 24 timeline. Importantly, there is no conflicting evidence among the sources; no alternative launch dates are mentioned. The slight probability of the statement being false (0.15) accounts for the inherent possibility of last-minute delays in project launches, a common occurrence in the tech and crypto industries, and the use of cautious phrasing like "targeting" in one of the primary reports. However, the overwhelming consensus across numerous independent outlets makes the stated launch date highly probable.

Monad will launch its EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain and native MON token on November 24 at 9 a.m. EST. Alongside the Kraken listing, Anchorage Digital will offer custody and staking services for MON through its platform and Porto self-custody wallet.
