Solana Processes Record 2.98 Billion Transactions, Leading All Blockchains in June

New data for June 2025 reveals a significant disparity in blockchain network activity, with Solana processing a remarkable 2.98 billion transactions. This figure positions Solana far ahead of other leading networks, underscoring its current prominence in on-chain engagement and highlighting evolving trends in blockchain utilization.

• In June 2025, Solana processed 2.98 billion transactions, significantly outpacing all other major blockchain networks.
• BNB Chain ranked second with 446 million transactions, followed by Base at 296 million, and Tron with 261 million.
• Solana’s high throughput and competitive transaction costs are identified as key drivers for its substantial adoption.
• Ethereum, despite its market capitalization, recorded the lowest transaction volume among the top ten networks at 41.8 million, reflecting a strategic shift towards Layer 2 solutions and higher mainnet costs.

Solana’s Dominance in Transaction Volume

A recent report detailing the top ten networks by transaction volume indicates that BNB Chain secured the second position with 446 million transactions, followed by Base at 296 million, and Tron with 261 million. While these figures are substantial, none approach Solana’s nearly 3 billion transactions, emphasizing its distinct lead in network activity for the period.

Top 10 Blockchain Networks by Transaction Volume (June 2025)

Solana	2.98 billion
BNB Chain	446 million
Base	296 million
Tron	261 million
NEAR Protocol	148 million
Aptos	126 million
Sui Network	109 million
Polygon (PoS)	101 million
Arbitrum	63.1 million
Ethereum	41.8 million

These results reinforce Solana’s reputation for high throughput and competitive transaction costs, attributes that are critical in attracting developers and users to its ecosystem. With over six times the transaction volume of BNB Chain and more than 70 times that of Ethereum, Solana’s architecture, which prioritizes scalability, appears to be a key driver of its adoption and usage.

Ethereum’s Evolving Role in the Transaction Landscape

Conversely, Ethereum, despite being the second-largest blockchain by market capitalization, recorded the lowest transaction volume among the top ten networks, with only 41.8 million transactions in June. This comparatively lower figure reflects Ethereum’s ongoing strategic shift towards Layer 2 scaling solutions, alongside its inherently higher transaction costs and slower processing speeds relative to newer, purpose-built networks.

While Ethereum maintains its foundational role in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector and retains significant institutional trust, the lower raw transaction count on its mainnet suggests a market dynamic where users are increasingly migrating to more cost-efficient and faster platforms for daily operations. Solana’s sustained growth in network activity continues to position it as a significant player in real-world blockchain utilization. As emerging networks like Base, Sui, and Aptos also gain momentum, the landscape of transaction volumes provides a clear indicator of evolving user adoption patterns and the networks that are gaining traction in everyday application.
