DeFi Analytics 31st January 2025
This week's edition of our Crypto DeFi Analytics. Solana continues to cement its year-to-date dominance in fee generation compared to Ethereum with a notable divergence. Ethereum's blob gas usage remains stable and Uniswap V3 sets a new January high for transaction count.

Chain Fee Generation
Daily Fees Generated across Ethereum & Solana - Fee generation dies down from the Jan 19th high, when Trump’s inauguration caused a pick-up in trading activity. However, one thing has stuck -- Solana’s notable outperformance in fee generation compared to Ethereum’s. Whereas Ethereum’s numbers have returned to early January numbers, under $5M daily, Solana’s networks utilisation continues to remain elevated, translating to a fee generation of $5-$10M daily. Solana continues to cement its year-to-date dominance with this notable divergence in fee generation.

Ethereum Gas Market

ETH Blob Gas - Blob gas usage remains unchanged, fluctuating around the 400k mark. Hourly average excess blob gas per Ethereum block also remains steady as Ethereum’s Layer 2s show consistent and stable demand for blob gas, which translates to on-chain data uploads.
