Why are gas fees changing on Monad?
Gas rises when demand for block space exceeds supply — NFT mints, airdrop claims, token trading or general congestion. Monad's status is compared against its own 7-day median, so "busy" means costlier than usual, not just a raw number.
Is Monad a Layer 2?
No. Monad is a Layer 1 (L1) — its own base chain with its own validators, not a rollup settling on another network.
