New analytics from Nansen confirm that Solana continues to outpace Ethereum and other major blockchains in daily active addresses, a lead it has maintained since mid-2024. The findings underscore Solana’s position as the most used blockchain by active participants, driven by its low fees and fast execution speeds.
Over the past seven days ending November 1, 2025, Solana recorded an impressive 15.87 million active addresses, according to Nansen’s data. This metric measures the number of unique addresses interacting with smart contracts each day, a key indicator of real network engagement and on-chain activity.
Solana’s Lead Reflects Broader Usage Momentum
Solana’s consistent lead over Ethereum highlights a structural difference in ecosystem dynamics. While Ethereum remains the leader in total value locked (TVL) and high-value institutional transactions, Solana dominates in user volume and transaction frequency. Its combination of sub-cent fees, millisecond transaction finality, and high network throughput has made it the preferred network for consumer-facing dApps, DeFi protocols, and on-chain games.
Top 5 Blockchains by Active Addresses (Nansen, Past 7 Days)
- Solana – 15.873 million
- Tron – 13.241 million
- BNB Chain – 11.779 million
- Aptos – 7.634 million
- Sei – 4.281 million
These rankings illustrate that Solana is not only maintaining but expanding its lead over other top-performing public chains, including BNB Chain and Tron, both of which have historically led in transactional volume.
A Strong 2025 Performance Driven by Accessibility and Scale
Throughout 2025, Solana has consistently ranked among the most active blockchains across multiple key indicators, from wallet growth and decentralized exchange usage to on-chain NFT and gaming transactions.
Analysts attribute this sustained momentum to user accessibility and developer traction, as well as the network’s ability to handle large-scale consumer applications without congestion.
With nearly 16 million active addresses per week, Solana’s continued engagement growth signals a maturing ecosystem that is expanding beyond speculative cycles, establishing itself as the go-to blockchain for everyday user activity in 2025.
