Monad’s mainnet upgrade has reduced the cost of storing data together by 98%, according to CryptoSlate. The change was demonstrated in a block-pinned mainnet call, which reproduced a step-down in the relevant charge from 8,100 to 100. The same call showed the cold charge returning at slot 128. The figures provide a direct on-chain demonstration of the upgrade’s revised storage-cost behavior. Monad is the blockchain network associated with the MON asset. The source did not provide additional details on the upgrade’s rollout, broader technical changes, market impact or any related price movement. For market participants tracking MON and the wider blockchain infrastructure sector, the 8,100-to-100 reduction is the key measurable outcome identified in the report.
