Folks Finance Launches on Monad With $45,000 First-Ever FOLKS Incentives
Folks Finance is now live on Monad Mainnet, bringing crosschain lending to one of the fastest EVM environments in the industry. After being one of the earliest and most-used lending protocols on Monad Testnet, Folks now brings unified crosschain lending to mainnet, allowing users to lend and borrow across Monad and all integrated chains from a single account.
The launch also expands the $FOLKS token to Monad via Wormhole’s NTT framework and activates $45,000 in $FOLKS incentives for the first time to fuel the new markets.
Why Monad?
Monad delivers execution built for scale: 10,000 TPS, sub-second finality, low fees, and a design focused on decentralized throughput. Paired with Folks Finance, Monad unlocks instant access to liquidity from multiple ecosystems, turning into a capital-efficient point of entry for crosschain lending strategies.
Efficient Lending Between Monad and Other Major Chains
At launch, supported markets include:
- MON
- USDT0
- AUSD
- sMON
- wBTC
- wETH
Users can lend, borrow, and build positions using liquidity sourced from every integrated chain, turning Folks into the ideal place for crosschain strategies across the new Monad markets.
$FOLKS Incentives Go Live

5,000 FOLKS (valued at $45,000 at the time of writing) are available as incentives for depositors across supported Monad markets through the Monad Rush campaign. Incentives run until December 25 and become claimable at the end of the period.
