aPriori

MEV-powered liquid staking on Monad. Stake MON, receive aprMON — a reward-bearing ERC-4626 token earning both PoS and MEV-boosted yields.

## Overview aPriori is a liquid staking protocol purpose-built for the Monad blockchain. It allows users to stake MON (Monad's native token) and receive aprMON in return—an ERC-4626 compliant token that accrues value as staking rewards accumulate. The protocol's distinguishing feature is its focus on MEV (maximal extractable value) optimization alongside traditional proof-of-stake yields. Rather than treating MEV as a side effect of blockchain validation, aPriori structures its staking mechanics to capture and distribute MEV-boosted returns to stakers. Monad is a high-throughput EVM-compatible
