Before perpetuals arrive, spot is where it all began.
Monday Trade launched its spot DEX on Monad testnet in May 2025, and since then it’s grown into a playground for high-speed onchain trading — with over 83K wallets, $136M in cumulative volume, and 421 pairs traded so far.
If you’re new to Monday Trade or just want to sharpen your onchain skills, this guide walks you through everything you need to know about spot trading, the foundation of all markets to come.
Spot trading means buying or selling crypto for immediate settlement. No leverage, no liquidations, no waiting.
It’s the simplest and most direct way to own assets onchain.
On Monday Trade, every spot transaction happens instantly, with millisecond execution powered by Monad’s parallelized architecture. Whether you’re rotating between majors or chasing the next memecoin pump, you’re trading on an engine built for speed and scale.
Spot on Monday Trade feels smooth because everything under the hood is optimized for performance. Trades confirm in milliseconds instead of minutes, liquidity stays deep across 400+ pairs, and smart routing automatically finds the best price so you don’t have to think about execution.
All of this runs on the same core engine that will soon power Monday Trade Perps at the November 24th Monad mainnet launch — meaning you’re already using the infrastructure designed for high-speed futures trading.
Spot trading is the fastest way to swap assets, rotate into new narratives, and stay liquid onchain with instant settlement. On Monday Trade, you can place Market or Limit orders, depending on how precise you want to be:
Here’s how to place a trade:
1. Connect your wallet
Use MetaMask, Rabby, or any EVM-compatible wallet connected to Monad.
2. Select a trading pair
In the spot UI, pick the pair you want to trade: anything from MON/USDC and WETH/WBTC to the newest memecoins, gamefi, or RWA tokens.
3. Choose Buy or Sell + order type
In the trading panel, pick Buy or Sell, then select Market for an instant swap or Limit to set your own price.
4. Enter your amount
Input how much you want to pay; the amount you’ll receive updates automatically.
5. Approve & confirm
Approve the token if it’s your first time, then confirm the trade in your wallet.
Providing liquidity lets you earn fees while supporting deeper markets across the ecosystem. Here’s how you do it on Monday Trade:
1.Check your setup
Connect a compatible wallet to Monad, make sure you hold both tokens for the pair you want, and keep some MON for gas.
2. Select a pool
In the spot UI, pick the asset pool you want to support (e.g. MON/WETH) and open the Liquidity tab on the right-hand side.
3. Set your price rangeChoose the min and max prices for your position by typing them in or dragging the range sliders on the chart.
4. Enter your deposit & confirmInput how much you want to add. Monday Trade calculates the matching amount of the other token, then asks you to approve the token (first time only) and click Add Liquidity. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
When your liquidity is in range, every swap that hits your pool earns you a share of the fees, automatically and in real time.
Our spot DEX laid the groundwork for everything coming next. By perfecting execution speed and liquidity at the base layer, we’re ready to scale up to perpetual futures on Monad mainnet — launching Nov 24.
So whether you’re testing strategies, chasing narratives, or just vibing with fast onchain markets, Monday Trade spot is where the next generation of trading begins.
