Solana has emerged as the leading blockchain by 24-hour fee generation, amassing approximately $1.12 million in fees over the past day according to on-chain data. This performance highlights a sharp concentration of user activity and transaction demand on a select group of high-usage networks.
EdgeX ranked a close second, generating just under $1 million in fees, while TRON secured third place with roughly $600,000–$650,000, reinforcing its established role as a high-throughput settlement chain for stablecoins and remittances.
A noticeable gap separates the top three from a second tier of networks. Hyperliquid posted around $400,000 in fees, while BNB Chain and Ethereum clustered in the $300,000–$350,000 range. Base and Bitcoin trailed further down the list, each generating a smaller but still notable share of daily fees.
The long tail of networks, including Osmosis, Polygon PoS, Dogecoin, Arbitrum, Cronos, Sui, TON, and Avalanche C-Chain, registered comparatively modest fee totals. This data underscores how uneven fee generation remains across the broader crypto ecosystem, with Solana and a handful of other chains capturing the majority of real economic activity.
Analysts point to Solana's ability to handle thousands of transactions per second with low costs as a key driver of its growth. The network has become a go-to choice for developers across DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Increased usage from projects like Jupiter and Tensor contributes to network congestion, which in turn drives higher fee revenue—a positive signal for the network's health and long-term viability.
