Ethereum

Solana

Data from Blockworks revealed that, in the July 22nd week, Solana surpassed Ethereum in total weekly transaction fees for the first time in history. Solana recorded approximately $25 million in transaction fees, while Ethereum recorded roughly $21 million.&nbsp;
Solana also recorded daily transaction fees of approximately $5.5 million, the highest the blockchain recorded in 3 months. The data collected included all Solana validators, including the maximum extractable value (MEV) tips.&nbsp;
According to Blockworks’ Senior Research Analyst Dan Smith, 58% of the value came from MEV tips, while 37% came from priority transaction fees. Dan mentioned that most of the activity was from spot DEX trading.&nbsp;&nbsp;
On May 12, the memecoin network also surpassed Ethereum in total economic value (TEV) for the first time in a single day. The TEV is the total transaction fees plus MEV. Solana accumulated over $2.2 million, while Ethereum recorded a little over $1.97 million.
Ethereum still tops in total value locked (TVL), with over $58 billion compared to Solana’s $5.5 billion. DefiLlama data shows that Solana’s current TVL is up by 25.68% over the past month. However, Ethereum’s value is down by 1.77% over the past month.
