Last week's chain performance data is quite interesting. Solana's active addresses surged to 27.1M, a 56% increase week-over-week, and the weekly transaction volume reached 515M — both metrics are leading. This growth rate is truly eye-catching.

Ranking second and third are BNB Chain and Tron, but the gap is still quite noticeable. In terms of on-chain activity, Solana has indeed been attracting more users to participate in interactions recently. Whether driven by new applications or increased trading activity, the story behind these numbers is worth pondering. The essence of public chain competition still depends on user retention and genuine interaction volume. Based on this week's data, Solana is currently taking the lead.

SOL-1.55%

BNB0.12%

TRX1.44%

⚠️ hold up—27.1M addresses spike 56% in a week? ngl that's got some major red flags written all over it. someone needs to audit wtf's actually driving these numbers before we start celebrating. could be genuine adoption, could be bot activity, could be some elaborate honeypot scheme. DYOR on where this traffic's actually coming from, not financial advice but... yeah, be paranoid about it.

Solana's recent surge is really strong, with 27.1M addresses doubling directly. But I just want to know how many of these are generated by bots. Let's wait and see if next week's data can hold up; otherwise, it's just another wave of hype. User retention is the key; active addresses are easy to fake.

Solana's recent surge is quite fierce, but can it really retain users? --- 27.1M addresses is impressive, but many just turn around and leave --- It's always Solana, always Solana. Where's the promised decentralization? --- The surge in trading volume... we need to ask whether it's meme coin hype or genuine demand --- Being left behind by BNB calls for reflection --- Wait, is this data the latest? It feels like Solana has been crashing recently --- Retention rate is the key; a surge doesn't equal health --- 515 million transactions sound impressive enough to boast about for a year, but what about user stickiness? --- I just want to know how much of this 56% growth is driven by bots --- Solana always does this—happy moments then... you know what I mean

27.1M addresses, a 56% increase... This number is a bit outrageous, is it truly demand or is there some new concept being hyped? --- BNB and Tron being pulled apart so much is interesting, but how long Solana can hold this wave remains to be seen. --- This rapid growth is impressive, but I'm worried it might be just a flash in the pan. Genuine interaction volume is the real key. --- 515M transactions in a single week... I don't know how many are real business and how many are just game bots. --- Being temporarily ahead doesn't mean you've truly won; user retention is the real skill.

56% growth rate? You need to see clearly whether it's a bubble being blown. I've seen too many cases of sudden surges last week, and next week it might pull back. The key is how many of the 27.1M addresses are truly interacting, and how many are just bots spamming—this is what determines how long the supply line can last.

27.1M active addresses. This number looks pretty impressive, but I'm more interested in how long this growth can last. Wait, a 56% month-over-month increase... Is that real? Could it be another bubble fueled by some new hype? Retention rate is the key. I've seen many short-term surges before.

Solana's recent data is indeed outrageous, with a 56% month-over-month growth. Really? Or is it just hype again? Wait, 515 million transactions? How many spam transactions is that? Need to take a closer look. If you ask me, retention rate is the real indicator. This week's numbers may not be sustainable. BNB and Tron getting hammered so hard is a bit brutal.
