Over the past ten months, Solana has been integrated into a network with the largest activity in a decentralized exchange (DEX), replacing Ethereum from a historically dominated space.
The following graph shows the trends: The violet bar represents the value of Solana, but the values of the green bar, Ethereum, are as follows:
A DEX volume refers to the sum of the values of all operations performed on both chains’ decentralized exchange platforms.
Unlike centralized exchange, DEX transactions are processed directly in the chain in real time through intelligent contracts that are more directly reflected. Level of activity for each network.
Data from Artemis Firm shows that since October 2024, Solana has outperformed Ethereum almost without interruption. The only thing The exception occurred in March 2025when Ethereum is temporarily placed on top. The rest of the period shows the lasting benefits of Solana with this metric.
The month of the biggest difference between both networks was January 2025. That month, Artemis data shows Solana has accumulated a volume worth $26.2 billion compared to 860 million Ethereum. gap Equivalent to 204% activity in Solana About competitors.
However, Solanafloor shows a much wider variation on its record, with numbers placed around Solana 400 million dollars in the same month.
Contradictions reflect that methodology may differ between data suppliers; The general trend is consistent with pointing out Solana’s superiority..
Meanwhile, according to data from the Solanafloor analysis site, Solana trade volume in July It reached $110 millionrepresenting a 56% increase compared to June, 42% more than those registered with Ethereum that same month.
These statistics in Defi operational volumes mean reconfiguring network usage.
While Ethereum continues to be the most used infrastructure in intelligent contracts, Solana has established itself as a preferred network of distributed exchanges, a key indicator of activity within ecosystems.
