Solana Dominates Blockchain Activity With 24M Active Addresses

Over a recent 7-day span, Solana recorded more than 24 million unique active addresses, crushing the competition.

For comparison, Tron came in second with nearly 5.9 million, followed by Base with 5.4 million. Other major networks like BNB Chain and Aptos rounded out the top five. Surprisingly, Ethereum, often seen as the leading smart contract platform, ranked sixth with just under 1.9 million active addresses.

Solana Surges, Ethereum Slows

The gap between Solana and Ethereum isn’t just large—it’s staggering. That’s because Ethereum still suffers from high fees and slower transactions, discouraging everyday users. Meanwhile, Solana offers faster speeds and cheaper costs, making it more attractive for apps and games that need scale.

Layer-2 networks built on Ethereum are helping. Chains like Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism let users process transactions off the Ethereum mainnet, then settle them on-chain. This cuts fees and boosts speed, helping Ethereum stay competitive—indirectly.
