**Swing Monad** is a Liquid Staking Token (LST) protocol built natively on the Monad blockchain. It allows users to stake $MON and receive **swMON**, a reward-bearing token that represents their staked assets while preserving full liquidity.

With a mission to improve capital efficiency and user experience across the Monad ecosystem, Swing Monad introduces a non-rebasing LST designed for seamless DeFi integrations and compounding yield potential.
