The floor is live. The studio cannot edit it.
A match that waits for a block feels turn-based. A match on a server belongs to the studio. Interlude: the move lands now, the board is still the contract, Monad has it a few seconds later.
A website answers in one round trip and asks for trust. Monad settles every write where anyone can check it. Interlude does both.

INTERLUDENo. Monad has it after.
The move lands now
Players hit the engine. The other window sees the step before the next block. A round trip measured 38-42 ms p50; the move adds its own time on the node. No gas on the loop.
The board stays the contract
Same Solidity, same address. The studio cannot quietly edit a cell. A watcher can replay every batch.
Monad has it after
Diffs settle back. If they turn the game off, the board is still on Monad. Nothing was bridged.
Write the game as ordinary Solidity
Annotate the board you want live. interlude gen writes the surface. Put whenNotDelegated on every write to that state.
The ship command takes it live
Interlude deploys on Monad, opens the session, and prints the engine URL. Point the SDK at it.
Players sign once
One grant. Moves after that go to the engine. Same ABI, same addresses. Everyone else on the floor updates now.
Diffs settle on Monad
On an interval the engine commits the slots that changed. Monad holds that state at the same address while the session goes on.
Open it twice. Join in both tabs. Walk. The other tab sees you before Monad does.
Open the demoHigh-frequency DeFi
Order books that answer in one round trip and settle on Monad, beside the fully on-chain books that hold resting liquidity there.
Agent swarms
Autonomous agents negotiating in one session, committing only the outcome.
Realtime social
Presence, reactions and live coordination, answered in one round trip like a web2 app and verifiable end to end.
