Solana generated more base-layer chain fees than Ethereum across every period in DeFiLlama's September 22 snapshot: $1.10 million versus $649,423 over 24 hours, $5.93 million versus $3.09 million over seven days, and $23.58 million versus $12.04 million over 30 days. Ethereum nevertheless burned more fees in each window, at $226,298 versus Solana's $117,138 over 24 hours, $761,849 versus $698,884 over seven days, and $2.80 million versus $2.66 million over 30 days. The divergence reflects different fee structures rather than necessarily different levels of user demand. Ethereum's EIP-1559 burns execution base fees and blob fees, while Solana burns half of its base fee and sends priority fees entirely to validators. Solana's base fees accounted for less than 14% of combined daily chain fees and Jito tips in the week ending September 21, according to Solana Compass. DeFiLlama's app-level figures also showed Solana ahead on September 22, with $18.2 million in app fees and $7.7 million in app revenue versus Ethereum's $8.5 million and $1.9 million. The chain estimates have methodological limitations, and the fee totals alone do not determine net token supply, validator economics or how much income reaches token holders.
