Solana Keeps Beating L1s And L2s In DApp Revenue And DEX Volume

Solana is still outpacing rival L1 and L2 networks in daily and weekly DApp revenue and decentralized exchange volume, keeping the network at the center of crypto’s onchain activity race.

SolanaFloor said Solana continues to surpass all L1 and L2 chains across both metrics, reinforcing a trend that has been building through active trading, memecoin flows, wallet activity, and high-frequency retail speculation. The claim lines up with live DeFiLlama chain data, which places Solana at about $1.66 billion in 24-hour DEX volume and $10.9 billion in seven-day DEX volume, with app revenue around $2.84 million over 24 hours.

Those figures keep Solana ahead of several major competitors on trading activity. Base, one of the strongest Ethereum L2s, is showing about $801.6 million in 24-hour DEX volume and $5.94 billion over seven days. Ethereum still carries deeper institutional history, higher total value locked, and broader settlement importance, but Solana is leading the part of the market where users are actively swapping, launching tokens, and paying application-level fees.

DEX Volume Is Becoming Solana’s Strongest Signal

Solana’s advantage is strongest in the kind of activity that happens at speed. Low fees and fast execution make it easier for users to trade smaller positions, rotate through new tokens, use Telegram bots, interact with launchpads, and move between DeFi apps without waiting on expensive blockspace.

That has turned the network into a trading-heavy chain where DEX volume can rise quickly when risk appetite returns. It also explains why Solana’s revenue profile is increasingly tied to applications rather than only base-layer fees. The network itself may keep transaction costs low, while apps, launchpads, aggregators, trading tools, and DEXs capture more of the user-spending layer.

The latest data arrives as SOL has been one of the stronger large-cap assets in a selective market rebound. A fresh crypto market snapshot showed Solana trading near $95 after an 11.8% weekly move, outperforming several major non-stable altcoins while Bitcoin continued to chop around the $80,000 level.

Lead Comes With Pressure To Keep Quality High

Solana’s activity lead is not risk-free. High DEX volume can include healthy trading, but it can also include speculative memecoin churn, short-lived token launches, MEV-heavy routing, bot activity, and scam-token risk. More users and more volume increase the value of the network, but they also raise the cost of poor wallet security, bad token screening, and weak front-end protections.

That does not weaken the current data. It gives it a sharper reading. Solana is not only winning a price narrative; it is winning active user flow, trading throughput, and application-level revenue in the parts of crypto where behavior can be measured every day.

The next stretch will show whether Solana can convert that lead into deeper liquidity, more durable DeFi markets, and stronger institutional rails beyond retail trading bursts. For now, the network’s daily and weekly DEX volume and DApp revenue keep pointing to the same result: users are not just holding SOL, they are actively moving through Solana’s app economy.
