Bitget and Chorus One Expand Monad to Reach Emerging Markets

  • The collaboration follows Monad’s mainnet launch in November 2025.
  • Chorus One secures more than $3.5 billion across 30+ blockchains.
  • Over $6 million was staked during the program’s first week.

Chorus One has partnered with cryptocurrency exchange Bitget to expand global access to Monad staking.

The partnership focuses on simplifying how users interact with the Monad network, which launched its mainnet in November 2025.

The move emphasizes infrastructure development, user accessibility, and a broader transition to staking services.

Both companies confirmed that Bitget’s more than 120 million users will be able to access staking tools via Chorus One’s platform, creating new pathways for participation in the growing staking economy.

Validator expansion

Monad is a layer-one blockchain designed for high throughput.

It supports Ethereum contracts without requiring code changes, according to its technical documentation.

The integration between Bitget and Chorus One aims to support a validator environment that can scale with decentralization, geographic diversity, and long-term stability.

Chorus One already secures assets across more than 30 blockchains and reports having over $3.5 billion in staked assets.

The platform also holds ISO 27001 certification, a recognized standard for assessing security practices.

This partnership fits into a broader trend where staking providers with stronger compliance frameworks are becoming increasingly central to blockchain infrastructure.

User access

Monad allows users to unstake assets in roughly 5.5 hours. Chorus One’s staking model supports flexible terms, enabling both institutional and retail Bitget users to stake or restake Monad tokens according to their preferences.

The partnership creates a direct route for Bitget users to enter the Monad ecosystem.

Within the first week after the staking program’s launch, Chorus One reported that more than $6 million in assets had been staked on the network.

Rapid participation signals interest in Monad’s performance-focused design and its integration with a large exchange ecosystem, reflecting broader demand for accessible staking opportunities worldwide.

Market expansion

Bitget operates across multiple regions, including Asia-Pacific and Africa.

The platform’s presence in these markets gives the new staking program broader reach, especially where demand for digital assets is growing.

Chorus One has previously collaborated with the Avalanche Foundation to expand validator infrastructure across Africa, positioning the company to support similar regional development for the Monad network.

Both firms stated the partnership aims to drive cryptocurrency adoption in emerging markets by providing tools that lower entry barriers and increase access to blockchain-based services.

As new networks like Monad expand, staking options offer a way for users in developing regions to participate in blockchain activity without complex technical setups or advanced hardware.
