LST markets? They're brutal winner-takes-most arenas. And right now, one protocol is quietly dominating Monad's landscape.
FastLane Labs has locked down 3.16% of all circulating $MON—a staggering footprint this early. But here's the kicker: their liquid staking token, shMON, controls 76% of the entire LST market. That's roughly triple the combined share of every other competitor.
When one player holds three-quarters of the pie while everyone else fights over crumbs, you're watching market consolidation in real time.

shMON 76%? This is aiming for a monopoly. Are other LST projects still going to participate or not...

76%? No way! FastLane is basically killing other protocols.
---
shMON has taken three-quarters of the market, it seems the Monad LST ecosystem hasn't even truly started yet, and there's already a conclusion.
---
A threefold gap, this is a winner-takes-all scenario... early participants are really enjoying it.
---
Wait, 3.16% of MON circulating supply locked, 76% market share... these numbers look a bit suspicious.
---
FastLane's move is really ruthless, immediately blocking the way for later entrants.
---
It seems other LST projects might consider switching tracks; there's not much opportunity in this game.

NGL, Fastlane is quite aggressive this time, with 76% market share directly crushing the competition.
shMON has already eaten up more than half of the cake so early? Other projects are still in a daze.
The winner-takes-all approach is always fresh in crypto; early birds really have an advantage.

It's like looking at the antique porcelain market... An auction house suddenly monopolizes 70% of the transaction volume, sounding grand, but there are many hidden risks behind it.

76%? How hard must that be? shMON really got an easy win
