Real-time daily transaction rankings across the top on-chain networks. Solana dominates with **~79.7M txns/day avg** — over **5× the nearest competitor** (BSC at ~15.8M). The Move VM ecosystem (Aptos + Sui) combined rivals Tron and Base, reflecting the rise of high-throughput non-EVM chains. Plasma is included as a rising entrant.

Transactions Per Chain — Global Throughput Dashboard

**Plasma** posts ~550K txns/day on a 30-day average, placing it well outside the current top 10 but showing consistent upward momentum — peaking at **815K txns** in early June. Its trajectory is organic rather than spike-driven, suggesting real user growth rather than bot activity. Watch for catalysts (ecosystem launches, incentive campaigns) that could accelerate it toward the Monad tier (~2.7M/day).

Plasma — Emerging Entrant

Daily Transactions — All Chains (Top 10 + Plasma)

Each chain’s transaction history tells a different story. Solana’s volume is self-sustaining via DeFi and consumer apps. BSC and Tron are USDT-transfer and gaming-driven. Aptos and Sui reflect Move VM adoption. Base is Coinbase’s L2 flywheel. Monad is still early but growing fast off mainnet launch momentum.

Individual Chain Throughput Trends

A side-by-side analysis of 10 blockchain networks — Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Hyperliquid L1, Plasma, and Canton — tracking chain revenue (sequencer/validator earnings), total fees paid by users, and transaction throughput. Use this dashboard to benchmark chain monetization efficiency and activity trends.

Chain Comparison: Revenue & Transactions

Chain Revenue Comparison (Weekly)

Chain Fees Comparison (Weekly)

**Chain Revenue** = what validators/sequencers/stakers actually earn after any burns. **Chain Fees** = total user spend. The gap between them reveals each network's economic design:

- **Ethereum** burns a significant share of base fees (EIP-1559) — revenue runs well below fees, making ETH deflationary during high-activity periods
- **Tron** passes most fees to validators — revenue closely tracks fees, with minimal burn
- **Hyperliquid L1** routes sequencer revenue to its HLP vault and token stakers, making it a direct revenue-sharing chain
- **Arbitrum & Base** (L2s) earn sequencer profit on the spread between L1 data-posting costs and fees collected from users
- **BSC** uses low fees to maximize throughput — high transaction volume compensates for thin per-tx margins
- **Solana** prioritizes near-zero base fees, with priority fees increasingly driving revenue during high-demand periods
- **Canton** is focused on institutional DeFi (Digital Asset participants); on-chain activity reflects permissioned network usage
- **Plasma** is optimized for high-throughput payments with growing transaction counts

📊 Revenue vs. Fees: Understanding the Spread

Daily transaction counts reveal which chains are winning on raw activity. Note: Canton and Hyperliquid L1 transaction data is not available in this view.

Per-Chain Revenue Trends

A real-time breakdown of on-chain fee generation, sequencer/validator revenue, and transaction activity across all major blockchains. Chain fees = gross gas/tx fees paid by users. Chain revenue = what the protocol actually retains. Data as of June 11, 2026.

Chain Revenue & Transactions Dashboard

Top Chains by Chain Fees

Top Chains by Chain Revenue

The chain fee rankings reveal a surprising hierarchy. **Canton** ($60.7M, 30d) leads — the Goldman Sachs/DTCC-affiliated institutional settlement chain, where transaction fees reflect high-value regulated financial transactions. **Tron** ($31.3M, +3% MoM) holds steady at #2, driven entirely by USDT transfer volume — and uniquely, Tron converts 100% of fees into chain revenue.

**Ethereum** ($13.5M, -54% MoM) has seen a sharp decline, reflecting post-Dencun blob fee compression and continued user migration to rollups. Yet Ethereum's *app ecosystem* still generates $200M in 30d app fees — the gap between chain fees and app fees is the widest of any blockchain. **Solana** ($12.5M, -17% MoM) follows a similar pattern.

**The standout movers**: Base is up **+103% MoM** ($5.5M) — Coinbase's L2 retains ~99.8% of its sequencer fees and is accelerating. **Hyperliquid L1** surged **+430% MoM** ($1.2M), driven by explosive derivatives trading volume. Revenue retention varies dramatically: Ethereum keeps only ~29% of gross fees (validators take the rest); Solana retains ~13%; but Tron, Base, Canton, and Hyperliquid all keep near 100%.

📊 Revenue Landscape — June 2026

Chain revenue strips out the validator/miner share and shows what the protocol itself retains. **Ethereum** revenue ($3.9M, 30d) is just 29% of its gross fees — EIP-1559 burns the base fee but validators capture priority fees. **Solana** retains only ~13% ($1.6M). **Base** retains nearly all sequencer revenue ($5.5M ≈ fees), flowing entirely to Coinbase. **Hyperliquid L1** keeps 100% of its fees ($1.2M), making it the most capital-efficient L1 among fast-growing chains.

Chain Revenue: What Protocols Actually Keep

Transaction counts tell a different story from fee revenue. High-throughput chains like Solana and BSC process orders of magnitude more transactions than Ethereum mainnet — but at far lower per-tx costs. Ethereum's lower tx volume commands premium fees per transaction, while L2s like Base are rapidly closing the throughput gap.
