Reliable Dedicated Servers Optimized for Monad

Monad hosting refers to the infrastructure and services used to deploy and operate applications, nodes, or validators on the Monad blockchain. Monad is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for extreme scalability, low fees, and fast finality, allowing developers to build and run decentralized applications (dApps) using familiar Ethereum tools and codebases.

A Monad server is a physical machine configured specifically to run Monad blockchain software, such as full nodes or validator nodes. Monad servers leverage commodity hardware—meaning you can use modern, consumer-grade CPUs and SSDs—to achieve high throughput and low latency. The Monad architecture is optimized for parallel execution and asynchronous consensus, so servers do not require expensive, specialized hardware to participate in the network.

A dedicated server for Monad ensures maximum performance, reliability, and security for running a Monad node or validator. By using a dedicated server, operators avoid resource contention found in shared or virtualized environments, which is crucial for maintaining high transaction throughput, low latency, and consistent uptime. This setup is especially important for validators, as it helps them meet the network’s performance requirements and maintain decentralization without needing enterprise-grade hardware.

The Travel Rule, effective January 1st, 2025, is a new EU regulation requiring both senders and recipients of higher-risk cryptocurrency transactions to exchange personal information, including names, addresses, and transaction details.

For individuals, this means providing basic identity information and proof of wallet ownership for self-hosted wallets, while businesses must share company details and representative information – all part of the broader MiCA framework designed to create a more secure and regulated crypto environment in the EU.

Clients have to ensure that they or their end users use dedicated hosting services for lawful purposes and in lawful manner. Please check our Acceptable Use Policy (Item No. 8 of our Terms of Service) for additional details.

We accept the following payment methods: Credit/Debit Cards, PayPal, Cryptocurrency, Bank Transfers, Apple Pay, Alipay, Google Pay.

To run a Monad validator or full node, the recommended hardware specifications are:

CPU: 16 cores or more with a base clock speed of 4.5 GHz or higher on AMD Zen 4 or newer architecture (e.g. AMD Ryzen 7950x, AMD Ryzen 9950x, AMD EPYC 4584PX)

Memory: at least 32 GB RAM

Storage: Two 2 TB NVMe SSDs (one dedicated to MonadDB for optimal performance)

Bandwidth: 1Gbps network connection

These requirements are designed to be accessible for most modern PCs, supporting Monad’s goal of scalable decentralization by allowing more participants to run nodes without prohibitive hardware costs
