Solana DApps Dominate for 13 Straight Months—Outshining Every L1 and L2 Chain
Solana's decentralized apps aren't just winning—they're lapping the competition. For over a year straight, the network's ecosystem has left Ethereum killers and rollups eating dust.
Speed wins. While other chains brag about theoretical TPS, Solana's DApps process real transactions faster than Wall Street settles stock trades (and with fewer middlemen skimming fees).
The streak hits 13 months as of July 2025—a run that's crushing the 'multi-chain future' narrative. Developers vote with their code, and right now they're deploying where users actually show up.
Don't expect the suits to notice. Traditional finance still thinks 'blockchain' means overpaid consultants making PowerPoints about private Hyperledger networks.
- Solana has been topping the DApp revenue charts since over one year ago.
- In June 2025, it led the table with a DApp revenue of about 146 million dollars.
- The network’s fast development is due to low charges, quick transactions, and increasing developer adoption.
Solana has remained the leading decentralized application (DApp) platform. The blockchain boasts of a share in the industry higher than all other L1 and L2 blockchains. New statistics by DefiLlama shared by SolanaFloor have shown that solana DApps earned more than 146 million in June 2025.
It is the 13th month in a row that this blockchain has had the most monthly DApp revenue of all chains. Comparatively, ethereum had an amount of about $59.7 million, and BNB Smart Chain realized a sum of about $70.9 million in the same month.
The total revenue of other chains came to around $51.8 million, with the Base chain of Coinbase at about $25 million. Application revenues at chains in June 2025 totaled $353.7 million. But the proportion of the SOL network was more than 41%.
Solana DApp Revenue Surges from 2024 to 2025
The chart data has registered steady growth of this blockchain, whose revenue has continued to grow steadily since the start of 2024. The new surge has increased the distance between it and other competing chains further. It also revealed a noticeable decline in Ethereum revenues after reaching its 2021/2022 highs, whereas Solana continued with its rise.
The popularity of this network can be explained by its cheap charges, quicker process times, and increasing number of users in gaming, NFTs, and DeFi. Experts also think that the performance of the chain is helping to attract users and developers ahead of more costly projects, such as Ethereum.
This transition is enhancing its daily performance and increasing the market dominance of the SOL network.
The Plateau of Competing Chains Makes the Growth of Solana Clear

In 2021, Ethereum had been enjoying most of the revenue shares, especially during the peak of the bull market. But since then, Solana has kept on expanding at a very fast rate, and other chains have remained stagnant or fellen off.
This development is occurring when participants in Web3 transactions are putting greater emphasis on cost-effectiveness and speed. As more applications opt to manage on Ethereum’s strongest competitor, the uptrend is also bound to persist.
