Monolythium Documentation
Welcome to the official documentation for Monolythium, an L1 blockchain built on Cosmos SDK, LythiumBFT, and Cosmos EVM.
What is Monolythium?
Monolythium is a high-performance blockchain that combines:
- Cosmos SDK for the state machine and modules
- LythiumBFT for BFT consensus with quadratic proposer selection and deterministic finality
- Cosmos EVM for full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility
This unique combination allows developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts while benefiting from Cosmos-native staking, governance, and instant finality.
Key Features
- 2-second block time with deterministic finality
- 53 active validators with quadratic proposer selection
- EVM compatibility via JSON-RPC (MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry)
- Native staking via Cosmos-compatible wallets (Monolythium Browser Wallet, Keplr, Leap)
- 90% fee burn mechanism for deflationary pressure
- 8% inflation from genesis, governance-adjustable
