- SOL has seen more activities in the last few days.
- ETH still holds the lead in other key metrics.
The competition between Solana [SOL] and Ethereum [ETH] is intensifying, particularly in transaction fees, as Solana sees a remarkable surge.
Recent data reveals that Solana’s fees have surpassed Ethereum’s daily totals, reflecting growing activity on the network.
However, despite this spike in Solana’s fees and total value locked (TVL) growth, Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain in terms of overall market value and locked assets.
Solana’s fee surge outpaces EthereumSolana has experienced significant growth in transaction fees over the past week. DefiLlama’s latest analysis ranks Solana and its decentralized applications (DApps) above Ethereum in daily fee activity.
Raydium, a major DApp on the Solana network, reported nearly $12 million in fees, making it the second-highest fee-generating platform during the period.
Solana itself generated approximately $11.3 million in fees, while Jito, another Solana DApp, added almost $11 million to the network’s total.
Ethereum, by contrast, recorded about $6 million in daily fees, placing it behind Solana in the rankings. Ethereum’s fee trend has shown little fluctuation over the past week, with a consistent pattern of stability.
Solana, on the other hand, has seen multiple fee spikes, culminating in a new all-time high of $11.7 million on 19th November. This record-breaking activity highlights Solana’s growing momentum in network usage and adoption.
Ethereum retains leadership in TVLWhile Solana has gained ground in transaction fees, Ethereum continues to lead in Total Value Locked, a key metric in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Solana’s TVL has climbed significantly in recent days, reaching $8.4 billion. This represents a strong recovery for Solana, bringing it closer to the highs it achieved in 2022.
However, Ethereum remains the clear leader in TVL, with a staggering $60 billion locked in its ecosystem. This figure accounts for more than half of the total DeFi market’s $110.5 billion TVL.
Price movements reflect broader trendsSolana is trading at approximately $244, showing a 1% increase. The $200 support level has proven to be a strong foundation for its recent upward trend.
Realistic or not, here’s SOL market cap in BTC’s terms
Ethereum, on the other hand, is trading at just above $3,000 with a 2% decline. Despite this, the cryptocurrency has held steady within this price range, and new support appears to be forming at around $2,900.
