November 2025: The Month Perps Hit Monad Mainnet

Highlights from the month we became the flagship perp DEX on Monad

November was a turning point.

After months of testnet grinding and stress-testing the engine, Monday Trade finally went live on Monad mainnet day 1 with spot + perps and Momentum rewards all kicking off almost at once.

Here’s how the first chapter of mainnet is shaping up.

Wrapping Up the Testnet Era 🧪

Before mainnet, Monday Trade spent months in the wild on testnet — battle-testing speed, UX, and markets with the community.

By the end of October, we’d already passed 80K+ connected wallets, $136M+ in cumulative trading volume and hundreds of pairs listed, from majors to memecoins.

November was the bridge between that testnet grind and going live for real. If you were there early, you helped prove the concept and shape the product that’s now on Monad mainnet.
