Cryptocurrency continues to evolve in 2025, and new projects like Monad, MegaETH, Qubetics, and SpacePay are at the forefront of this technology. This article reviews the technological innovations, accessibility, and tokenomics of these projects.
Monad: Speedy Layer-1 Blockchain
Monad represents an innovative Layer-1 blockchain aiming to enhance Ethereum with parallel transaction processing, achieving speeds of up to 10,000 TPS and reducing processing time to one second. It has been backed by $225 million in funding from Paradigm. The testnet has been live since February 2025, with a token launch planned for mid-2025. Key technical innovations include Optimistic Parallel Execution, MonadDB, and MonadBFT consensus mechanism for system efficiency.
MegaETH: New Layer-2 Solution
MegaETH is developing an Ethereum Layer-2 solution providing 'real-time' transaction processing with speeds up to 100,000 TPS. The concept received backing from investors including Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin and $20 million from Dragonfly Capital. The testnet is active, with a mainnet launch slated for 2025. The technical approach includes node specialization, bytecode compilation, and streaming transaction processing.
Qubetics and SpacePay: Advanced Infrastructure
Qubetics aims to be a Layer-1 blockchain connecting various blockchain networks and Web3, focusing on asset tokenization. The presale for TICS began at a price of $0.0976833, with the Token Generation Event scheduled for 2025.
SpacePay focuses on simplifying cryptocurrency use in retail by integrating it into POS systems. The presale is nearing completion, with SPY tokens available at $0.003126.
These projects offer new pathways to solving cryptocurrency industry challenges in 2025. Monad and MegaETH focus on speed and scalability, while Qubetics and SpacePay offer solutions for interoperability and retail payments.
