Solana has once again emerged as the most actively used blockchain, clocking over 26 million weekly active addresses at the end of April 2025. More recent data confirms this lead, with Solana maintaining around 22.44 million active addresses, well ahead of competitors like BNB Chain, which only saw about 9.76 million in the same timeframe. Even on a daily basis, Solana pulls ahead with figures ranging from 4 to 7 million users, outperforming Ethereum and Base.
This success is largely attributed to Solana’s architecture, which allows for lightning-fast transactions and extremely low fees. These factors make it attractive for decentralized finance applications, NFTs, and other micro-payment-heavy systems. Additionally, token creation tools like Letsbonk are fueling activity, responsible for the majority of new tokens on the network. Solana seems to be absorbing many of the use cases that were once Ethereum’s territory.
However, critics point out that the high numbers may be misleading. A substantial portion of the active addresses are tied to automated processes or empty wallets created during token issuance events. While this doesn’t invalidate the numbers, it does cast doubt on how much of this activity is driven by actual users versus bots and smart contracts. Still, Solana’s lead is undeniable, especially when compared to the modest numbers seen on other chains.
Despite the noise, Solana’s dominance reflects a broader shift in the blockchain landscape. Its combination of speed, cost-efficiency, and growing developer support positions it as the most user-friendly chain in the current market. Whether the activity is from bots or not, Solana has built the kind of infrastructure that draws projects and users alike. As long as these fundamentals remain strong, its lead is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.
