Monad

Monad is a high-performance EVM-compatible blockchain optimized for speed and efficiency. Switchboard On-Demand provides native oracle support for Monad with the same security guarantees and ease of use as other EVM chains.

Network Information

Network	Chain ID	RPC URL	Switchboard Contract

Quick Start

1. Clone the Examples Repository

git clone https://github.com/switchboard-xyz/sb-on-demand-examples.git
cd sb-on-demand-examples/evm
bun install

2. Setup Environment

# Testnet
export RPC_URL=https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz
export PRIVATE_KEY=0xyour_private_key_here
export NETWORK=monad-testnet

# Mainnet
export RPC_URL=https://rpc.monad.xyz
export PRIVATE_KEY=0xyour_private_key_here
export NETWORK=monad-mainnet

3. Deploy Contract

# Testnet
forge script script/DeploySwitchboardPriceConsumer.s.sol:DeploySwitchboardPriceConsumer \
  --rpc-url https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
  --broadcast -vvvv

# Mainnet
forge script script/DeploySwitchboardPriceConsumer.s.sol:DeploySwitchboardPriceConsumer \
  --rpc-url https://rpc-mainnet.monadinfra.com/rpc/YOUR_API_KEY \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
  --broadcast -vvvv

4. Run Examples

# Price Feeds
RPC_URL=$RPC_URL PRIVATE_KEY=$PRIVATE_KEY CONTRACT_ADDRESS=$CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
  NETWORK=monad-testnet bun scripts/run.ts

# Randomness
PRIVATE_KEY=$PRIVATE_KEY NETWORK=monad-testnet bun run randomness

Integration Example

import { ethers } from 'ethers';
import { CrossbarClient } from '@switchboard-xyz/common';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz');
const signer = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!, provider);

// Switchboard contract on Monad Testnet
const switchboardAddress = '0xD3860E2C66cBd5c969Fa7343e6912Eff0416bA33';
const switchboard = new ethers.Contract(switchboardAddress, SWITCHBOARD_ABI, signer);

// Fetch and update prices
const crossbar = new CrossbarClient('https://crossbar.switchboard.xyz');
const feedHash = '0xa0950ee5ee117b2e2c30f154a69e17bfb489a7610c508dc5f67eb2a14616d8ea'; // ETH/USD

const response = await crossbar.fetchOracleQuote([feedHash], 'mainnet');
const fee = await switchboard.getFee([response.encoded]);

const tx = await priceConsumer.updatePrices([response.encoded], { value: fee });
const receipt = await tx.wait();

console.log(`Price updated on Monad! Block: ${receipt.blockNumber}`);

Monad-Specific Considerations

• Native Token: MON (for gas fees)

• High Performance: Monad's optimized execution enables faster oracle updates

• Low Fees: Efficient gas usage for frequent price updates

• EVM Compatibility: All existing Ethereum tooling works seamlessly

Getting MON Tokens

Testnet:

• Use the Monad Testnet Faucet to get testnet MON

Mainnet:

• Acquire MON tokens through supported exchanges

• Bridge from other networks using official Monad bridges
