# Monad Developer Portal > The Monad Developer Portal (developers.monad.xyz) is the community hub for builders on Monad — the high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 with 10,000 TPS, 0.4 second block times, and 0.8 second single-slot finality. Use it to deploy contracts via quickstarts, complete community missions, join hackathons, and connect with other developers.
