Weekly active user data for the crypto market has been released, and the results show that competition among layer-1 (L1) blockchains is intensifying. Weekly active address numbers are considered critical indicators of real on-chain usage, and this week’s data reveals strong growth signals in several projects.
The data relies on a 7-day moving window and HyperLogLog (HLL) algorithms to accurately measure unique users. This method filters out spam activity, allowing a more precise analysis of real user behavior.
Networks With the Highest Weekly Active Users
- BNB Chain (BNB) — 17.4 million (–13.5%)
- NEAR Protocol (NEAR) — 15.7 million (–3.2%)
- Solana (SOL) — 12.8 million (+25.0%)
- Tron (TRX) — 6.7 million (+0.8%)
- Aptos (APT) — 4.4 million (+11.5%)
- Jito (JTO) — 4.3 million (+1.3%)
- Polygon (POL) — 3.8 million (+64.6%)
- Sei Network (SEI) — 3.4 million (–17.4%)
- Base — 2.9 million (–6.0%)
- Bitcoin (BTC) — 2.8 million (+0.4%)
- Ethereum (ETH) — 2.5 million (–0.2%)
- PancakeSwap (CAKE) — 2.2 million (–33.2%)
- Uniswap (UNI) — 1.9 million (–19.1%)
This week’s data shows that usage-driven growth largely remains concentrated in L1 blockchains. While some projects recorded notable increases, others experienced significant declines.
Solana and Polygon Lead in User Growth
Weekly active user statistics highlight strong recovery and growth on some networks. The most impressive performance came from Solana, whose weekly active users increased 25% to 12.8 million, driven by:
- High activity in DeFi and memecoin trading
- Growth of Solana-based protocols like Jito
- Continued network stability and performance
Another strong surge occurred on Polygon, which saw a 64.6% user growth, reaching 3.8 million users. Rising interest in zkEVM applications and increased activity in gaming projects contributed to Polygon becoming one of the fastest-growing networks recently.
BNB Chain Maintains Its Lead While NEAR Shows Consistent Performance
Despite a 13.5% decline, BNB Chain retained its top spot with 17.4 million active users once again demonstrating the strength of its large and loyal ecosystem.
NEAR Protocol, in second place with 15.7 million users, continues to hold a strong position. Expansion in Web3 applications and increasing interest in AI-focused projects are supporting NEAR’s growth.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum maintain relatively stable levels of user activity. Bitcoin recorded 2.8 million weekly active users, and Ethereum 2.5 million, reflecting their roles as networks mainly used for high-value transfers and base infrastructure while broad user engagement remains concentrated in L1 and L2 networks.
