Chain activity
Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana, compared
Transactions, active addresses, fees paid and fees burned on the three chains, week by week, on one axis.
Each point is a day's average over a week, from DefiLlama's chain data (collected by Allium). Active addresses are the ones that sent a transaction; Solana's transactions are the successful ones that are not validator votes. Fees are what users paid; the burned part is ether's base fee, a tenth of BNB Chain's gas fees and half of Solana's base fees. Stablecoin transactions by chain are in no free public feed yet, so they are not here. Each line starts where the feed's own count starts: Ethereum in August 2015, Solana in March 2020 and BNB Chain's fees in August 2020 — but BNB Chain's transactions and active addresses only in May 2021, and Solana's fees in January 2021.
