    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements the execution component of a Monad blockchain node, handling transaction processing and blockchain state management.
    • Provides a custom EVM implementation optimized for recent CPU architectures, enabling fast cryptographic operations and parallel transaction scheduling.
    • Use for running a Monad blockchain node with integrated execution and consensus components for native Monad features like staking.
    • Use for replaying and verifying historical blocks of EVM-compatible blockchains such as Ethereum to validate state and Merkle roots.
    • Use for developing and testing blockchain execution logic with a modular C++ codebase supporting advanced CPU instruction sets and parallelism.

    From the README

    This repository contains the execution component of a Monad node. It handles the transaction processing for new blocks, and keeps track of the state of the blockchain. Consequently, this repository contains the source code for Category Labs' custom EVM implementation, its database implementation, and the high-level transaction scheduling. The other main repository is monad-bft, which contains the source code for the consensus component.

    Execution has two kinds of dependencies on third-party libraries:
