What is Solana’s DApp revenue lead in 2025?
Solana DApp revenue is the highest among blockchains in the past 12 months, generating $205 million and representing about 40% of the $509 million total DApp revenue. This figure reflects a decline from an early-2025 peak but confirms Solana’s continued revenue dominance.

Solana’s revenue share moved from 52% in August 2024 to nearly 70% in January 2025, then eased to 40% by August 2025. These shifts indicate volatile user and revenue distribution across DApps and signal intensifying competition from emerging platforms.

What do the smaller networks (Base, BSC, others) contribute?
Smaller networks collectively held between 2% and 8% each. Base showed consistent performance at roughly 5%–7% monthly, while Binance Smart Chain and other chains provided steady but limited shares, underlining a diversified but Solana-dominated revenue pool.
