Solana flips Ethereum in fees, while ETH holds the burn lead
Summary
DefiLlama’s Sept. 22 snapshots showed Solana generating more fees than Ethereum: about $1.1 million versus $649,000 over 24 hours, and $23.6 million versus $12 million over 30 days. Ethereum reported slightly higher 30-day burns, $2.8 million to Solana’s $2.66 million. Fee allocation differs: both networks burn some fees and direct others to validators, while Solana’s priority fees go to validators. App revenue was also higher on Solana in the displayed daily figures. These metrics do not establish which token offers better returns: holders may not receive validator income, and comparisons require matched-period issuance, burns, distributions, and valuation. DefiLlama’s figures rely partly on estimates and have synchronization limits.
