# X Posts July 2026 Part 3

In mid‑July 2026 I posted a series of X updates that announced several new Monad initiatives, highlighted on‑chain social projects, and shared community growth metrics. The thread runs from July 16 to July 24 and reflects the ecosystem’s push toward talent development, residency programs, elite demo‑day selection, and rapid user acquisition.

- **India Student Founder Fellowship** – Targeted at IIT and BITS students; stipend **₹65,000 per month for 3 months**, mentorship and a chance to raise capital from @YourCampusFund & @gradCapital.

These posts also capture several decisions: launching the India Student Founder Fellowship to build a pipeline of future Monad founders, considering a Kazakhstan replication of the Founder Residency, restricting Demo Day to the top 0.1 % of applicants for elite exposure, and conceptualizing a Multicoin fund to formalize early‑stage bets.

Open questions that emerged from the thread include the logistics of a Kazakhstan residency, the formal establishment of the Multicoin fund, the exact selection criteria and timeline for the 0.1 % Demo Day shortlist, success metrics for the Fellowship, and the long‑term roadmap for the Collective Memory app.

- **Monad Founder Residency** – **20 founders** locked in at the @balajis Network School; community discussed replicating the program in Kazakhstan.
- **NitroDotAcc Demo Day** – Scheduled for **July 28 in NYC**; only the top **0.1 %** of **>1 k applications** will pitch to **100+** crypto investors.
- **On‑chain social projects** – @nypple is building **Collective Memory**; @DeltaV_xyz promotes it as “built the right way.”
- **User growth** – Reported **500 k MAUs** in July (fomo).
- **Ecosystem activity** – @crshmarket added **9 k users** and **$50 k** weekly trading volume, reaching **10.5 k users** and **$80 k+** total volume; raised **$50 k** from 7 angels and launched two 24/7 esports streams.
- **Funding language** – Seed funding described as “for scaling”; community pushes back against the idea that crypto projects need seed capital to move.
- **Multicoin concept** – Proposed “small fund with an opinionated deployer” for early bets; the fund does not exist yet.
- **Community sentiment** – Frequent emojis (💜, 🫡, 💯) and shorthand (“lol,” “ye”) indicate a casual, supportive tone.
