Solana has processed 25.3 billion transactions in the first quarter of 2026, significantly outpacing Ethereum's 200 million transactions during the same period. This marks a substantial gap in network activity, highlighting Solana's growing on-chain momentum. The increase in transaction volume is attributed to Solana's expanding developer base, which now includes 4,100 new developers, boosting its developer share to 23% while Ethereum's share has declined. The surge in developer activity on Solana is driving more applications and usage, supported by a growing stablecoin base. Last year, Solana's stablecoin volume reached $1 trillion, with nearly the same amount recorded last month alone, indicating a 12-fold year-on-year growth. Despite this, the SOL/ETH ratio ended Q1 down 5.84%, suggesting that the market has yet to fully price in Solana's on-chain strength.
