The Monad project is not simply to replace Ethereum with another video. Alternatively, it introduced an Ethereum Virtual Machine which is brand new.

Therefore, different processes can be done concomitantly instead of successive or sequential. Through its capability of having its smart contracts written in EVM-compatible bytecode, Monad allows Ethereum developers to move their SDKs to the Monad network in the same way that they do it on the main Ethereum network.
