In this episode of The Pipeline, we sit down with Tom Kysar, Gas.Zip Founder, and Keone Hon, Monad Co-Founder, for a chat on all things EVM.
From scaling pains, gas wars, UX and performance improvements, Tom shares his experience working on hundreds of chains, while Keone explains how Monad is aiming to deliver L1 performance in a globally decentralized manner. We cover:
• Pipelined EVM execution and 10× throughput gains
• Stress-testing: 2 M+ TX on public testnet—zero drama
• Centralization vs. Decentralization
• Raising the ceiling: 300 M → 1 B gas/sec (and what it unlocks for devs)
• Wallet UX fixes, liquidity gravity & real-world app adoption
• Why meme-coin mania isn’t a roadmap—and what sustainable growth looks like
If you’ve ever wondered, “Can we scale EVM L1 performance without sacrificing decentralization?” this episode is a must-watch.
