Mastering Monad Testnet: Automate Your Developer Activity with Python 🐍

Source: Dev.to

Why Monad? 💜

If you’re reading this, you know Monad is the hottest Layer 1 right now. It promises 10,000 TPS and full EVM compatibility. But as a developer (or airdrop farmer 🚜), manually clicking “Swap” every day to keep your wallet active on the Testnet is… painful.

RPCs go down. Transactions fail. It’s a grind.

So I decided to automate it.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a Monad Swiss Knife in Python that:

• Auto‑switches to the fastest RPC (no more timeouts)
• Wraps/unwraps MON (DeFi activity)
• Deploys contracts and mints NFTs

🛑 Too lazy to code?
You can just download the finished tool here – it’s open source and free.

Prerequisites 🛠️

You’ll need Python installed and a few libraries:

pip install web3 rich python-dotenv requests

Step 1: Finding a Fast RPC 🚀

Monad Testnet is busy. Public RPCs get congested. We need a function that tests multiple endpoints and picks the winner.

import time
import requests

# Valid Monad Testnet RPCs
RPCS = [
    "https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz/",
    "https://rpc-testnet.monadinfra.com",
    "https://rpc.ankr.com/monad_testnet"
]

def get_fastest_rpc():
    best_rpc = None
    min_latency = float('inf')

    for rpc in RPCS:
        try:
            start = time.time()
            requests.post(
                rpc,
                json={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","id":1},
                timeout=2
            )
            latency = (time.time() - start) * 1000
            print(f"{rpc}: {latency:.2f}ms")

            if latency
