Monads Are Coming: Why MVP, Speed, and User Feedback Define the Next Era of Web3
The Real MVP Isn’t Fancy—It’s Functional
At Foundry NYC 2.2, I heard it again: no one cares about your whitepaper. They care about what you shipped last week. Patrick Hizon of Mu Digital put it bluntly: ‘Don’t ask what your six-month roadmap is—ask what you built yesterday.’ That’s the heartbeat of Web3 now.
Velocity Is the New Moat
Speed isn’t optional—it’s structural. When LootGO’s Yuki said, ‘Build a skateboard first,’ he wasn’t being poetic—he was describing survival. Teams that iterated within hours after feedback outperformed those who waited for perfection. In crypto, delay is death.
Breaking Out of the Crypto Bubble
Monad isn’t building an L1 chain—it’s building infrastructure for millions. The shift from ‘crypto natives’ to ‘global users’ isn’t marketing—it’s necessity. As @0x_eunice reminded us: ‘Monad to Millions’ means redefining access, not just scaling throughput.
Truth Over Hype—The Feedback Loop
Karma Gora said something chilling: founders lie to themselves; users lie about liking products; VCs lie about why they invest. The only antidote? Constant feedback loops rooted in real behavior—not metrics on dashboards.
The Foundry Effect: A Culture of Radical Honesty
This wasn’t a pitch session. It was a crucible. Conversations didn’t end with applause—they ended with challenges that forced you to question assumptions you’d held for years. At one table, I watched an EVM dev tear down their entire architecture in two hours because a user said their wallet UI felt broken.
Five Teams Won Because They Solved Real Problems
Of 44 projects? Only five passed路演—not because they had funding, but because they shipped something usable within days and listened when users screamed back.
The next era isn’t coming—it’s already running on Testnet-2 with 161 nodes across 33 countries. We’re not waiting for adoption—we’re building it.

O MVP não é o whitepaper que você fez no fim de semana — é o que você entregou ontem. Ninguém lê o roadmap de 6 meses; todos olham se o seu código funcionou. Velocidade? É como ir ao café sem café — se não correr agora, morre. E sim, os cinco projetos que passaram? Não tinham funding… tinham feedback real. E tu? Já mandaste algo útil hoje… ou ainda estás à espera do próximo ciclo? ;)
Já vi um cara com um whitepaper mais bonito que um pastel de Natal… mas ninguém liga! O MVP não é o que você desenhou no PowerPoint — é o que você enviou ontem à meia-noite. Velocidade? Se não correr agora, morre como um gato sem patas no Testnet-2. Feedback real não é métrica — é gritar na rua como se fosse um Fado de criptomoedas. E você? Já mandou seu wallet hoje ou só ficou olhando para o próximo? 😉
¿Crees que tu roadmap de seis meses importa? Pues no. Aquí en Cataluña, lo que cuenta es lo que ya enviaste ayer. El MVP no es un whitepaper bonito… es un smart contract que funcionó antes de que tu equipo se rindiera. La velocidad no es opcional: si tardas en lanzar el ‘skateboard’, te comen la cara como un EVM deshecho. Y sí, el feedback loop no es métrica… es la vida real. ¿Tú también tienes una billetera rota? ¡Dímelo en los comentarios!
They don’t care about your whitepaper—they care if you shipped something usable before your coffee got cold. Speed isn’t optional—it’s your last chance before the next DAO collapses. I watched an EVM dev cry into their wallet UI after three hours… then realized it was just a skateboard with ‘Monads’ printed on it. If your roadmap’s longer than your morning commute—you’re not building Web3. You’re just delaying death.
P.S. Anyone else feel like their token is a meme? Drop a comment—or I’ll restart my L1 chain.
¡La MVP no es tu whitepaper de 80 páginas! Los usuarios no leen nada… ¡lo que importa es lo que ya lanzaste ayer! En Berlín, un tipo me dijo: ‘No pidas tu roadmap… pregunta qué construiste ayer’. Y sí, el Speed es tu nueva muralla: si tardas en hacerlo… ¡la muerte viene con delay! La próxima era no viene… ¡ya está corriendo en Testnet-2 con 161 nodos! ¿Y tú? ¿Qué llevas hoy? 🤔 (P.D.: Si tu UI se rompió… ¡es porque usaste Solidity en paellada!)
