Future & Marketplace
What's coming next for Monadinals — the peer-to-peer marketplace, protocol upgrades, and the long-term roadmap.
Current state
Monadinals v0.1 provides the core inscription protocol: deploy tickers, mint tokens, and transfer balances. Everything runs on Monad Testnet. The protocol is live and functional, but several major features are still in development.
v0.1 — Core protocol
Marketplace
The most anticipated upcoming feature is the Monadinals Marketplace — a peer-to-peer trading platform for MON-20 tokens. Unlike ERC-20 DEXes that rely on on-chain liquidity pools, the Monadinals marketplace operates at the indexer layer, enabling order matching without additional smart contract complexity.
Listing
Token holders can post sell orders specifying a ticker, amount, and MON price per token. Listings are signed off-chain and broadcast to the marketplace backend.
Buying
Buyers match against active listings. A single transaction atomically transfers MON to the seller and triggers an inscription transfer to the buyer's address.
Order book
A public order book aggregates all active listings per ticker. Best-ask and best-bid are surfaced on the Explorer and ticker detail pages.
History
All completed trades are logged with price, volume, and timestamp. Per-ticker price charts will be available from launch.
Roadmap
v0.1 — Core Protocol (Current)
Deploy / Mint / Transfer operations. MonadInscriptions contract on Monad Testnet. Indexer, Explorer, My Inscriptions UI, Documentation.
v0.2 — Marketplace Beta
Peer-to-peer MON-20 trading. Off-chain order book with on-chain settlement. Price charts, trade history, and ticker market cap display.
v0.3 — Mainnet Launch
Contract audit completion. Mainnet deployment on Monad L1. Migration guide for testnet participants. Permanent contract address.
v1.0 — Protocol Expansion
MON-20 v2 standard with additional operation types. Batch inscriptions at the contract level. Potential governance for protocol fee parameters.
Planned improvements
Beyond the marketplace, the following improvements are planned for upcoming releases:
Batch inscriptions
A contract-level batching function that allows multiple inscriptions in a single transaction. Reduces gas overhead and allows atomic multi-operation flows.
EIP-712 typed signatures
Structured data signing so wallets can display human-readable inscription details in the signing prompt instead of raw calldata.
Ticker metadata
Optional metadata fields in the deploy payload for token name, description, and image URI — enabling rich token display in the Explorer and My Inscriptions.
Third-party indexers
Documentation and tooling to help the community run their own indexers. Reference implementation in TypeScript/Go with event processing and state derivation logic.
Mobile wallet support
Deep-link support for WalletConnect v2, enabling Monadinals inscriptions from mobile wallets like MetaMask Mobile and Rabby Mobile.
