Monad is a layer one blockchain network that features high throughput while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum ( ETH ) contracts without code modification, according to technical documentation.

“By lowering the barrier to entry and offering a compliant, scalable on-ramp, this integration helps ensure the validator set grows in decentralization, stability, and geographic diversity,” the Chorus One team stated .

Chorus One currently secures more than $3.5 billion in staked assets across more than 30 blockchains, according to company data. The platform holds ISO 27001 certification for security compliance.

The Monad Chain allows users to unstake assets in approximately 5.5 hours, while Chorus One offers flexible terms for investors, the companies reported. Bitget users will be able to stake and potentially restake Monad tokens through the platform.

Within one week of launching the Monad staking program, more than $6 million in assets had been staked, according to figures released by Chorus One.

Chorus One previously announced a partnership with the Avalanche Foundation to expand validator infrastructure across Africa. Bitget operates in multiple regions including the Asia Pacific and African markets, according to company information.

The partnership aims to facilitate cryptocurrency adoption in emerging markets, the companies stated.
