Solana Proves Formidable With Rapid Growth In Daily Active Addresses, Neck and Neck With Polygon And Ether
The number of daily active users on Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana are becoming almost identical. The numbers are converging at the level of approximately 300,000 daily users as measured by the number of active addresses.

Such convergence has become possible due to different tendencies observed in regards to all major altcoins that offer solutions for smart contracts. In particular, Ethereum demonstrates a slightly negative dynamics as its peak number of daily active addresses exceeded 600,000.
The probable cause of the declining market for ETH is the insufficient scalability of Ethereum’s execution layer and high gas fees. Thus, many users consider alternative crypto solutions that allow economizing funds and time associated with their transactions. The number of Polygon users remain comparatively stable within the past few days. This indicates that the blockchain has effectively maintained the loyalty of its regular users by offering an appropriate combination of service quality and low fees.
At the same time, Solana demonstrates the most rapid growth within the past few days, closing the gap between its number of daily active addresses and those of leading platforms. Solana’s innovations and ability to process a tremendous number of transactions per second may be the main determinants of such users’ reactions.
From the perspective of the entire crypto industry, the current situation is mostly beneficial. The reason is that the demand is more uniformly distributed among the main platforms, thus avoiding earlier misbalances, and Ethereum’s network congestion caused the uncontrolled increase in gas fees and lower access to its services for some clients.
Solana Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
The Solana price chart shows that SOL has been quite bearish over the past few sessions and is down by almost 1% during the ongoing session. If sellers manage to retain control of the session, we could see SOL drop to $110 or below.
