Monad, the upcoming high-speed L1 chain, is getting ready for primetime.
The MON public token sale starts on Coinbase on Nov. 17th. Then the network's mainnet launches one week later on Nov. 24th.
That said, the 
Monad app ecosystem is about to officially arrive, and with it new onchain opportunities.
To surf this scene, you'll be able to tap native integrations in wallets like Farcaster and 
Phantom or manually add the network to other 
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) wallets like 
Rabby and Rainbow.
At that point, you could dive into Monad apps. Easy starting points will be established projects, like the NFT marketplaces 
OpenSea and Magic Eden, which are planning mainnet support.
Yet there's also a range of smaller or outright new projects that have already experimented on Monad's testnet and that will be open for exploring after the mainnet launch. Let's go over some of the up-and-coming culture apps you'll be able to try here soon.

Additionally, keep in mind that some of these projects—like Kizzy, Lumiterra, and Omnia—will be part of Monad's 1st wave of "Momentum" apps, meaning they'll offer boosted MON rewards for their users. It could be worthwhile to begin with these apps and then work your way out from there!
