Solana Tops Ethereum in Seven-Day Application Revenue Comparison

Solana generated $38.2 million in application revenue during the seven days ending Oct. 10, exceeding Ethereum’s $11.7 million in the same measure by about 3.3 times.

The comparison also placed Hyperliquid at $14.8 million, BNB Chain at $6.6 million, Base at $4.3 million, Polygon at $4 million and OP Mainnet at $1.2 million.

Ethereum, Base, Polygon and OP Mainnet totaled $21.2 million. Solana therefore stood $17 million above that combined figure in the reported application-revenue comparison.

Application revenue covers fees retained by decentralized applications and protocols, including trading platforms, token launchpads, wallets and decentralized exchanges. The measure does not represent total blockchain fees, transaction volume, users, total value locked or validator revenue.

The comparison brings together Layer-1 networks, Layer-2 networks and applications with different operating structures. Ethereum’s standalone figure does not include all activity connected to networks built on Ethereum.

The result follows an earlier weekly comparison in which Solana applications generated $49.9 million. The two readings cover separate weekly measurements, so the latest result does not establish a broader ranking of network activity or adoption.

Application revenue can vary with trading volumes, token launches and demand for speculative products. The latest comparison is limited to the seven-day application-revenue measure and does not establish that Solana leads Ethereum in users, liquidity, security, total value locked or overall network revenue.
