Top Blockchains by Increase in Monthly Active Addresses
BNB Chain (BNB)
Based on the data analysis reported today by the analyst, BNB Chain is recognized as the blockchain that recorded the biggest increase in new active users over the past 30 days. As per the data, BNB Chain attracted a massive 56.2 million new active addresses over the month.
This figure showcases that the blockchain network powered by the Binance exchange is experiencing a highly strong growth phase. Early this week, CZ, the founder of Binance exchange, confirmed the remarkable growth after he disclosed that the number of active addresses on the BNB Chain has tripled in the past 18 months, showing a vibrant community in the blockchain ecosystem.
Solana (SOL)
Solana scooped the second position. As per the data, the blockchain recorded 46.9 million new active addresses in the last 30 days, an increase that reflects huge user adoption and utility on the network. This increase in active users on Solana has led to strong on-chain activity (indicated by a surge of new customers and investors) on the blockchain recognized for high speed and cost efficiency. This tremendous rise in user adoption is considered a crucial sign for the blockchain, an indicator of increasing liquidity in the Solana network, despite the SOL price’s downtrend. Today, SOL trades at $93.82, after seeing a decline of 7% over the past 24 hours. The asset has also been down 26.1% and 30.2% over the past week and month, respectively.
Near Protocol (NEAR)
Near Protocol followed the list, showing the popularity of on-chain use cases on its blockchain network. Near Protocol recorded 36.2 million new active addresses on its blockchain over the past month, making it the third-fastest growing blockchain in terms of monthly active users. The performance shows that Near Protocol is one of the prominent players in the blockchain sector, with its growth mainly driven by a wider AI trend in the crypto market.
According to CoinGecko data, Near Protocol is currently the third-largest crypto AI token by market cap ($1.51 billion), following Bittensor (TAO) and Chainlink (LINK). This demonstrated robust user engagement and rapid growth of AI-related decentralized applications on its blockchain network.
Tron (TRX)
Hitting 17.6 million new active addresses on Tron indicates the blockchain’s continued growth and adoption. This surge in monthly active addresses on Tron is fueled by user preference for the blockchain known to provide high throughput and low transaction fees.
Ethereum (ETH)
Fifth on the list is Ethereum. Data shows that active addresses on the blockchain have increased by 15.1 million in the past 30 days. The increase in active users on Ethereum comes after a major network upgrade (the Fusaka update in December 2025), which has increased scalability and resilience and consequently lowered transaction fees.
Other Top Blockchains by New Active Users
The data from the analyst further listed other top blockchains that attracted immense new active users last month, showcasing the resilience and promise of their crypto assets. This includes Aptos (APT), Bitcoin (BTC), Sei (SEI), Base (BASE), Polygon (POL), Litecoin (LTC), Arbitrum (ARB), Celo (CELO), Avalanche (AVAX), and Toncoin (TON).
