December was about proving that Monday Trade’s momentum didn’t end with launch week.
After November’s mainnet debut — with perps, referrals, and incentives all going live at once — December marked the first full month of steady, real usage on Monad. No countdowns. No launch hype. Just traders showing up and continuing to trade.
Here’s how the second chapter of mainnet is shaping up.
Monad Mainnet: December Snapshot
Monday Trade closed out its first full month live on Monad mainnet with consistent activity across spot and perps.
Here’s a snapshot of performance for December:
(Dec 1, 00:00 → Dec 31, 00:00 UTC)
Total connected wallets: 1,727
Total connected wallets since mainnet launch: 1,750
Total spot trading volume: $45,068,941.46

TVL (spot, as of Jan 5): $24,215.76
TVL (perp, as of Jan 5): $718,591.89
Last month showed strong wallet retention following launch, with trading volumes holding steady even after November’s incentive-heavy kickoff.
From Incentives to Organic Usage
November was about bootstrapping activity. December was about seeing what stuck.
While growth naturally normalized, usage remained consistent: an early signal that traders weren’t just farming rewards, but actually using the product.
It validated something important: Monday Trade works beyond launch mechanics.
Momentum Campaign: Final Numbers
Before fully turning the page, December also gave us the chance to close out one of the most important launch initiatives tied to Monad mainnet.
Momentum helped kickstart Monday Trade’s onchain footprint, and December showed what happened next.
