Recently, Monad's TVL has been growing very rapidly

In the past few days, it has already reached $600 million, with a large portion coming from AAVE.

> **Visual Note:** An infographic from @TheDeFiAngel illustrates a "Multi-Chain Strategy" where NOXA expanded to Monad, Megaeth, Merlin, and DBK Chain before Robinhood, while contrasting this with Uniswap's approach to deploy its V4 auction proceeds as an LP position in an NFT pool — emphasizing that competition between Layer 1s and Layer 2s will be won by building the best launch infrastructure for both creators and traders.
