Ethereum (ETH) is leading the pack in decentralized application (DApp) adoption, despite high transaction fees. The network recently saw an 83% surge in volume, a stark contrast to competitors like BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana, and TON, which experienced a volume decrease of over 30%. However, Ethereum's user numbers didn't match this growth, with 8% fewer users interacting with DApps. The network's total value locked (TVL) in DeFi applications also fell by 17.5% in a week. The volume growth was primarily driven by a 422% increase in Balancer, which accounted for 59.5% of the network's volume.
