Solana has recently surpassed Ethereum in daily transaction fees, recording $2.54 million in revenue over the past 24 hours. This figure outstrips Ethereum’s earnings of $2.07 million on October 28, according to data from DefiLlama.
As a result, Solana now ranks as the fifth largest blockchain network in terms of fee revenue in the cryptocurrency market.
The significant rise in Solana’s revenues is primarily attributed to the high activity on Raydium, the largest decentralized platform built on Solana. Raydium alone generated over $3.41 million in transaction fees in just one day.
Solana’s ability to process a large number of transactions quickly and efficiently, thanks to its integrated infrastructure that does not rely on external scaling solutions, positions it as a strong competitor to Ethereum. This has led some to label Solana as the “Ethereum killer.”
While Ethereum relies on layer-2 solutions to scale and accommodate increasing traffic, some experts argue that this approach can complicate the network and dilute developer efforts.
Despite Solana’s recent lead in daily fee revenue, Ethereum still holds a larger advantage in the long term. In fact, over the past 30 days, Ethereum has generated approximately $134.6 million in total fees, nearly double Solana’s $61.3 million.
Additionally, more than half of Solana’s recent revenue came from meme coin transactions on Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform that generated around $29.5 million in fees over the past month. This surge in activity has increased pressure on the Solana network, leading to some technical challenges.
It is worth noting that earlier this year, the network experienced a 75% failure rate in processing transactions due to the high demand for meme coin trading. On April 4, Solana completely halted for five hours, highlighting the ongoing challenges it faces in managing rapid growth and increasing demand.
