Do not stake on FastLane unless you've read this. Staking recently went live on Monad. And if you’ve seen how Jito took off on Solana, you already know liquid staking tokens (LSTs) are the future of staking. Sooner or later, most stakers will choose LSTs over regular staking. On Monad, several MEV-powered LST protocols have emerged, and deciding where to stake your $MON will make a real difference on mainnet. Some of the brightest minds on Monad like @unahh, @zayn4pf ,@crexsol @christiadarma have been really vocal about Staking their Mon on FastLane, here's a couple of reasons they've decided to stake on FastLane: 1. FastLane was built natively for Monad. Most LSTs protocol just copied what worked on other chain, pasted it on Monad and call it a day,while there's nothing inherently wrong with doing this, that's not the case with FastLane. shMonad was built specifically for Monad’s architecture, taking advantage of every line of its codebase. If you tried to run FastLane on Solana’s SVM, it wouldn’t work, that’s how deeply it’s tied to Monad’s design. This foundation means better performance, tighter integration, and higher efficiency. 2. Trusted by 99% of Monad validators. Validators stake millions of dollars sometimes billions and they handle the backbone of the network. 99% of the validators on Monad work with FastLane. That kind of adoption doesn’t come from marketing... it comes from trust, reliability, and real results. If the validators rely on FastLane, that’s a strong signal for the rest of us. 3. Deep partnerships with Monad’s top apps. Over 25 of the top apps building on Monad including companies like @KuruExchange and @Curvance and @PinguExchange etc, are integrating FastLane’s tech. These aren’t mere listings. Apps are using FastLane's tech to improve how their transactions execute, strengthen performance, and align incentives. As Monad grows, this network effect only compounds. 4. A full ecosystem of MEV products. $shMon is just one piece of a larger ecosystem that includes: Atlas – App Controlled Execution (ACE, formerly ASS) Task Manager shBundler Custom RPC Even before staking went live, FastLane had 6 different streams all generating yield for $shMon and shMonad sits at the heart , accruing value from all these products, making $shMon the LST with the best yield on monad. 5. App Controlled Execution (ACE) Another flagship product by FastLane, ACE, gives applications control over how their transactions are ordered. That means less “toxic” MEV, fairer execution, and a smoother user experience. When you stake with FastLane, you’re not just earning yield , you’re backing a system built around fairness and user protection at the protocol level. You can expect more and more apps to integrate ACE, Once again strengthening the already compounding network. 6. Proven track record on Polygon. Before Monad, FastLane was the dominant MEV protocol on Polygon, connecting over 40% of the network through its MEV relay( took them only a year to reach this milestone btw), with zero sandwich attacks during that time. That level of operational maturity and security speaks for itself. TL;DR 1. Best yield on Monad — shMON captures value from FastLane’s entire product suite. 2. Native to Monad — built from scratch for performance and efficiency. 3. Trusted by validators and apps — the widest adoption across Monad’s ecosystem. 4. Experienced team — proven success on Polygon and five active products ready for mainnet. No other LST building on Monad can make these claims. Gshmonad
