Visa does 10,000 transactions per second. So does Monad. They’re not the same thing.
Raj Parekh from Monad explains why blockchain infrastructure is fundamentally different from traditional payment rails—and why that distinction matters for the future of finance.
Visa is a messaging layer. You swipe, it processes, and settlement happens later through correspondent banks. Blockchain collapses that entirely: settlement and messaging happen at the same time. The moment you transact, it’s final. No intermediaries, no T+2 delays, no reconciliation.
Monad rebuilt EVM from scratch to hit that throughput with instant finality—10,000 TPS on a single L1 that’s fully EVM-compatible. Not a rollup, not a sidechain. A ground-up rethink of what blockchain infrastructure could be.
