Solana leads, but new surprises emerge

The latest report by CryptoDiffer highlights the most used dApps in the last 30 days, with Solana remaining the most chosen network, but also with some interesting new developments.

Solana dominates the dApps sector, but starts to lose ground

At the top of the ranking, we find Solana, with 47.7 million dApps users in the last 30 days. However, despite the lead, the blockchain records a significant drop of 35.7% compared to the previous month, indicating that part of its user base might have shifted towards other alternatives.

Immediately after, we find NEAR, which maintains a solid position with 38.8 million users, but with a minimal change of -0.03%. This data suggests stability in its user base, without significant increases or losses.

Aptos and Matchain grow by double digits

Among the growing blockchains, Aptos stands out, recording 16.7 million users and an increase of +16.3%, indicating a growing interest in its infrastructure. But the real surprise is Matchain, which with 6.46 million users marks an incredible increase of +43.4%, the best performance among the top ten blockchains in the ranking.

On the contrary, opBNB and Base, with 12.2 million and 12.1 million users respectively, show negative trends, with declines of -9.38% and -7.35%. This could indicate a phase of consolidation or a loss of appeal compared to emerging competitors.

Collapse for BNB Chain, Polygon and Sei

Some of the most well-known blockchains are experiencing significant drops in user numbers. BNB Chain, despite its historical presence in the market, is losing a concerning -39.2%, while Sei and Polygon are experiencing decreases of -29.8% and -25.9% respectively. These numbers indicate a possible redistribution of users towards new platforms that are more efficient or offer greater incentives.

The three fastest-growing blockchains

The report by CryptoDiffer also highlights the blockchains that have experienced the most significant growth in the last month:

1. Abstract with an impressive +306%
2. Soneium which records a +240%
3. Injective with a solid +167%

These data indicate a strong interest in new solutions, probably due to technological innovations, strategic partnerships, or new incentive models that attract users.

Evolving market and new opportunities

The landscape of blockchains for dApps is experiencing a period of strong transformation. While giants like Solana and NEAR maintain dominance in terms of user base, new networks like Abstract, Soneium, and Injective are gaining ground thanks to exponential expansion.

Investors and developers should pay particular attention to these dynamics, as they could outline new growth opportunities in the decentralized applications sector. The next month will be crucial to understand if the emerging blockchains will manage to consolidate their position or if we will witness further changes in the ranking.
