January 2026: Kicking Off the Year with Perps in Motion

Share

Kicking off the first month of the year with brand new updates, unstoppable growth, and key metrics

January was over in a flash.

From New Year celebrations to setting goals, learning the ins and outs of Claude’s Cowork for optimal productivity, and Grok AI taking strides, it’s safe to say the year got off to an intriguing start.

Last year, the focus was on launching the first perps DEX on Monad.

This year, the focus shifts to building the future of perps on Monad. Growth mode is officially activated, with relentless shipping, the Monday Trade 2026 roadmap, and January already delivering new updates, product sneak peeks, and more ways to earn as you trade.

Here’s everything that you might have missed.

Monday Trade Mainnet: January Snapshot

Did we mention it’s been 2 months since Monad Mainnet and Monday Trade went live?

Time truly flies.

January highlighted organic growth and activity across the ecosystem. From an influx of new users discovering perps on Monad to trading spot and perps on Monday Trade, this month was all about consistency.

Here’s a quick performance and metric snapshot for January:

2026 Roadmap: What We’re Building Next

This year, we’re staying heads down and focused on shipping. From capital efficiency to one-click trading and deeper ecosystem expansion, our 2026 roadmap is centered on performance, usability, and long-term growth.

Perps season on Monad is only just starting.

Expanding into RWAs

Starting with tokenized stocks, we’re bringing onchain RWA markets directly to the platform, giving traders access to traditional assets through crypto-native infrastructure.

With 24/5 trading, tokenized stocks unlock a new layer of flexibility and utility. This marks an important step from our roadmap in bridging traditional finance and onchain markets.
