# Monad overview

> Monad is a parallel-EVM chain with a gRPC feed. Two ways in: flat-rate gRPC streaming or a custom dedicated node.

Monad is a parallel-EVM chain that exposes a **gRPC** feed — a real-time subscription stream of on-chain data, still uncommon among EVM networks.

Supanode offers two ways to connect.

## Two products

- **[gRPC Streaming](https://supanode.xyz/docs/monad/grpc)** — one flat monthly tier. Subscribe to the Monad gRPC feed and consume events with no per-request bills. Trial up to 48h.
- **[Dedicated](https://supanode.xyz/docs/monad/dedicated)** — a private Monad node built to order: RPC + WS plus a gRPC endpoint, on your choice of region and hardware. Custom quote within 24h.

## Billing

Crypto-only (USDC · SOL · ETH · USDT), monthly prepaid, no per-request fees on streaming. Provisioning is handled directly over Telegram.
