According to Cointelegraph, Layer-1 blockchain Solana has once again achieved record-breaking network revenues, following a previous all-time high on Oct
Layer-1 blockchain Solana continues to break records in network revenues, following an all-time high on Oct. 22. According to Blockworks Research, on Oct. 23, Solana generated nearly $8.7 million in economic value from network activity, up from just under $8 million the previous day. The figure includes all revenue sources, such as base fees, priority fees and tips, among others.
Solana has emerged as a strong competitor to Ethereum, with the SOL token outperforming Ether by around 600% since the beginning of 2023. The total value locked on Solana has also surged from less than $250 million at the start of the year to over $6.8 billion as of Oct. 24, according to DefiLlama. In July, Solana surpassed Ethereum in weekly total fees for the first time, recording approximately $25 million in weekly revenue compared to Ethereum’s $21 million, as reported by Blockworks Research.
The rise of Solana has been boosted by a surge in celebrity coin trading, largely on Solana-based memecoin platforms such as Pump.fun and Moonshot. Additionally, SOL is being eyed for inclusion in exchange-traded funds in the United States, following Bitcoin and ETH.
On Oct. 21, Solana-based decentralized exchange Raydium outperformed the Ethereum network in 24-hour revenue, generating $3.4 million in fee revenue compared to Ethereum's $3.35 million, according to DefiLlama. Ethereum is still recovering from a significant drop in revenue after the network’s March Dencun upgrade, which reduced transaction fees by approximately 95%.
Despite this, Ethereum is projected to generate up to $66 billion in annual free cash flow by 2030, according to Matthew Sigel, VanEck's head of digital asset research. Sigel noted that Ethereum processed roughly $4 trillion in settlement value over the past year and another $5 trillion in stablecoin transfers annually, placing it in the realm of major financial networks such as Visa.
