## Resource

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Eunice Giarta from the Monad Foundation explains how Monad is building a high-performance Layer 1 designed to solve crypto’s biggest tradeoff: speed vs decentralization. She breaks down how Monad’s parallel execution, fast finality, and scalable infrastructure enable real-world use cases like institutional finance and high-frequency trading. The conversation highlights why infrastructure—not just applications—will drive the next phase of crypto growth, especially as institutions demand reliability, low fees, and performance. They also discuss Monad’s rapid ecosystem expansion, developer adoption, and why crypto is still in its early “builder phase” despite market volatility.
