Monad Foundation launches dedicated laptop subsidy program for protocol teams with TVL over $2.5 million

Foresight News reported that Monad announced on Twitter that the Monad Foundation will subsidize the cost of dedicated signing laptops for protocol teams whose TVL reaches or exceeds 2.5 million USD, for use in multi-signature, treasury, and other critical operations. Eligible teams can contact the Monad Foundation to apply. Subsidies may require completing additional security training and standard KYC procedures. Monad emphasized that signing devices must never be the same computers used daily for web browsing, coding, or meetings.

Foresight News previously reported that Monad co-founder Keone Hon tweeted that protocol teams should immediately adopt a dedicated signing computer for multi-signature operations and stop using their everyday computers. He pointed out that everyday computers are highly susceptible to compromise. Once a computer is controlled, even connecting to a hardware wallet, the signing process can still be maliciously tampered with, posing security risks. Monad Foundation may introduce incentive mechanisms in the future to encourage teams to adopt this approach.
