New on-chain data shared by Nansen highlights which blockchain networks attracted the most active users over the past week, offering a snapshot of where real activity is currently concentrated.
Solana Takes the Top Spot in Network Activity
According to the data, Solana leads all chains with 17.4 million active addresses, marking a 20% weekly increase. This places Solana well ahead of other major networks in terms of address-level engagement during the period shown.

The scale of the gap suggests Solana was the primary destination for user activity over the past week, based purely on active address counts.
BNB Chain and Tron Follow Closely Behind
BNB Chain ranked second with 12.2 million active addresses, posting a 3.2% increase week over week. While growth was more modest than Solana’s, BNB Chain maintained a strong absolute user base.
Tron came in third with 8.1 million active addresses, recording a 16% weekly increase, indicating a notable rise in user participation compared with the prior period.
Aptos and Ethereum Show Weekly Declines
Outside the top three, Aptos reported 6.5 million active addresses, but with a 4.7% decline over the week.
Meanwhile, Ethereum recorded 3.76 million active addresses, down 2.7% on a weekly basis.
What the Data Shows
Based solely on active address counts, the past week favored high-throughput networks, with Solana, BNB Chain, and Tron capturing the majority of observable user activity. At the same time, Ethereum and Aptos saw lower engagement relative to the previous week, according to the metrics presented by Nansen.
The figures reflect short-term changes in network usage rather than long-term dominance, but they provide a clear snapshot of where on-chain activity was most concentrated during the period measured.
