Summary

Messari reported that Solana produced $342.2 million in Chain GDP in the first quarter of 2026. The report said PumpFun, a Solana-based application, remained the network’s largest revenue-generating app with $124.7 million. It also said Solana’s REV (network revenue metric) fell 1% quarter over quarter to $89.5 million, even as the network’s RWA (real-world asset) market capitalization climbed 43% to $2.01 billion. The figures point to continued economic activity on Solana, with growth in tokenized real-world assets helping offset softer revenue momentum at the network level.
