Holding NFT & Staking Tokens - Some Speculations on the Internet

In addition to participating in the community, Twitter user @FabianoSolana summed up some wild speculation about Monad’s potential short-term investment status:

Backpack wallet users & Madlads holders

Because Monad invested in Backpack and announced that the Monad test network will integrate the Backpack wallet on the first day; and the holders of Solana NFT leader Mad Lads have always maintained support and cooperation with Monad.

Wassieverse NFT holders

The founder of the Wassieverse project is an angel investor in Monad, and the current floor price of Wassieverse is 20 SOL.

Wormhole related users

Wormhole has previously given the Monad community a considerable share of $W airdrops, and Wormhole co-founder Robinson Burkey is also an angel investor in Monad. So $W stakers will most likely also receive Monad airdrops

Python related users

The co-founder of Monad is also a maintainer of Pyth and has released Pythenian NFT. At the same time, Pyth will serve as the official oracle of Monad. Only users holding approximately 4,000 $Pyth can enter the top 10,000 and qualify for air investment.
