Solana generates $1.25 billion in revenue per year, which is enough to be a clear leader in revenue for blockchain networks. Crypto Media Platform Milk Road shared data and noted that Solana has 2.5 times more Ethereum revenue.
Data shows that Ethereum is closest to Solana in revenue, but this year it only costs $523.28 million. Other networks approaching are decentralized, decentralized blockchain high lipids, with the Tron networks at $5171 million and $455 million, respectively.

Milk Road Post states:
$sol is in its own league. Solana has generated $1.25 billion in revenue YTD…it’s real demand for Blockspace, and the chain is not approaching at the moment.
Outside the top Solana and three other networks, only the other two chains generate more than $100 million in revenue. These are the $148.91 million BNB smart chains and $134.9 million Bitcoin. Coinbase Layer-2 network base also has $54 million to become the most revenue-grossing L2 network. Competitors such as Arbitrum, Polygon and Optimism only have revenues ranging from $10.83 million to $2.9 million.
Solana’s leadership in 2025 continues the trend that began in November 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, the network recorded more revenue than all other L1 and L2 chains combined.
Solana’s revenues go primarily to the app
Naturally, Solana is leading monthly revenue, generating more than $210 million in the last 30 days. What’s even more interesting, however, is that most of the revenue will be donated to decentralized apps based on the network.
Last month, MemeCoin LaunchPad Pump.Fun and Trading Bot Axiom Pro accounts generated $5283 million and $50.79 million in revenues on Solana. Decentralized Exchange Jupiter and Meteora, and Crypto Wallet Phantom are one of Solana’s top 10 revenue generators.
Interestingly, Solana itself has ranked eighth in revenue in the last 30 days, with the chain generating only $4.56 million. This remains important, but is small compared to other Layer-1 and Layer-2 networks, such as high lipids, Ethereum, and even Base, that are generated at chain rates.
But Solana supporters, including Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz, believe what makes Solana special is how decentralized apps thrive in their ecosystems. Mumtaz believes that many Dapps builders are coming to Solana as their ecosystem supports apps that generate fast revenue.
The signs have been revealed in trading bot Axiom Exchange, which recently became the fastest app to earn $200 million in August in just 202 days. The platform reached $200 million on August 4th, generating more than $50 million over the past 30 days. We reached the milestone even faster than Pump.Fun.
Sol reaches $216 as Crypto Market sees a return of value
Meanwhile, Sol is currently on the upward trend, with Altcoin emerging as one of the top performers today, seeing its value of over 7% to $216. The token was one of the best performers of the last 30 days, picking up from places where other altcoins, such as Ethereum and XRP, appear to be behind their previous profits.
According to CoinmarketCap, Sol continues to undermine other major cap tokens such as Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and BNB with performance over the previous year.
However, emotions around Solana are currently bullish, especially in light of recent milestones. Beyond a substantial revenue, the network has recently achieved a market capitalization of $100 billion again, drawing comparisons with major tech companies like Google, Meta and Nvidia, and has acquired a much shorter time (4.5 years) to hit milestones.
It has been reported that Solana could soon have its own digital assets Treasury heavyweight, and the forward industry has announced plans to spend Stablecoin’s commitment to earn $1.65 billion in private placement cash and SOL.
Other publicly traded companies, such as Sol Strategies and Defi Development Corp, have already created Sol Treasuries, the first time a company registered with NASDAQ has deployed facility capital directly to the purchase of SOL.
