Solana2026-08-24 09:05:59Solana daily network revenue tops $1 million, highest level in six monthsSolana posted more than $1 million in network revenue on Aug. 19, reaching its highest daily level in six months, according to a Techub News brief citing data tracked by SolanaFloor. The figure refers to REV, or network revenue, which combines base fees, priority fees, and MEV tips. The report said the improvement extends a growth trend that has been in place since July. During that month, ecosystem application revenue reached $82.9 million, the highest monthly mark since February this year. Techub, citing CryptoBriefing, said the rise in network-level revenue points to stronger demand for blockspace. It added that the change may affect validator income and SOL staking yields, and could also reduce circulating token supply through the protocol’s fee-burning mechanism.1110
Ethereum2026-07-04 01:01:28The DeFi Report: Ethereum Q2 REV Rebounded to $88.4 Million, but Revenue Quality Continued to WeakenThe DeFi Report’s Q2 ecosystem review shows that Ethereum generated $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) during the second quarter, up 7% quarter over quarter but down 68% from a year earlier. At the same time, average real onchain yield fell to just 0.17%, down 14% from the previous quarter and 61% year over year. When issuance is included, total onchain yield reached 2.68%, but 94% of that came from issuance, while priority fees and MEV contributed only 0.17%. The report also highlighted continued weakness across L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation. Although Ethereum improved user experience and throughput, its L1 fee capture remained soft. The report argues that future resilience will depend on real settlement demand, including practical use cases such as RWA, to reduce cyclicality and strengthen Ethereum’s role as a settlement layer.1980
Ethereum2026-07-04 00:31:28The DeFi Report: Ethereum Q2 REV Rose to $88.4M, but Revenue Quality Remained Under PressureAccording to The DeFi Report’s Ethereum ecosystem performance review for the second quarter, Ethereum generated $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) in Q2, up 7% quarter over quarter but down 68% from a year earlier. The report also showed that average real onchain yield fell to just 0.17%, down 14% from the previous quarter and 61% year over year. Including issuance, total onchain yield reached 2.68%, but 94% of that came from issuance, while priority fees and MEV contributed only 0.17%. The report further noted that L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation all continued to weaken materially. In other words, although Ethereum’s user experience and throughput improved, those gains did not translate into stronger fee capture at the base layer. The key takeaway is that Ethereum’s economic model remains under pressure, with native fee generation still weak and issuance carrying most of the yield burden. The report argues that more durable demand sources, including real-world asset settlement use cases, may be needed to strengthen Ethereum’s role as a settlement layer and reduce cyclical volatility in network revenues.1940
Ethereum2026-07-03 22:31:37Ethereum Q2 REV Rebounds to $88.4 Million, but On-Chain Yield and Fee Capture Keep WeakeningAccording to The DeFi Report’s Q2 ecosystem review, Ethereum generated $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) during the second quarter, up 7% quarter over quarter but down 68% from a year earlier. The report also showed that average real on-chain yield fell to just 0.17%, declining 14% from the prior quarter and 61% year over year. Including issuance, total on-chain yield reached 2.68%, but 94% of that came from issuance, while priority fees and MEV together contributed only 0.17%. The report further noted that L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation all continued to weaken materially. In its view, Ethereum has improved user experience and throughput, but its L1 fee capture remains weak. Over time, the network may need more real-economy settlement demand, including use cases tied to RWAs, to reduce cyclicality and strengthen value capture at the base layer.1900
Ethereum2026-07-03 21:31:25Ethereum Q2 REV Reached $88.4 Million, but On-Chain Yield and Fee Capture Remained Under PressureAccording to The DeFi Report’s Q2 ecosystem performance review, Ethereum posted $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) in the second quarter of 2026, up 7% quarter over quarter but down 68% from a year earlier. The report also showed that average real on-chain yield fell to just 0.17%, down 14% from the previous quarter and 61% year over year. When issuance is included, total on-chain yield reached 2.68%, but 94% of that figure came from issuance, while priority fees and MEV together contributed only 0.17%. The report further noted that L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation all continued to weaken materially during the quarter. In its assessment, Ethereum has improved user experience and throughput, but its L1 fee capture remains limited. The report argued that stronger real-world usage, including RWA-related settlement demand, may be necessary if Ethereum is to smooth cyclical volatility and reinforce its position as a settlement layer.1890
Ethereum2026-07-03 21:01:39Ethereum Q2 REV Rebounds to $88.4 Million, but Yield Quality and Fee Capture Remain WeakAccording to The DeFi Report’s Q2 Ethereum ecosystem review, Ethereum generated $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) in the second quarter, up 7% quarter over quarter but down 68% from a year earlier. The report also showed that average real on-chain yield fell to 0.17%, down 14% from the previous quarter and 61% year over year. Total on-chain yield, including issuance, came in at 2.68%, but 94% of that figure was driven by issuance, while priority fees and MEV contributed only 0.17%. The report further noted that L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation all continued to weaken materially. While Ethereum’s user experience and throughput improved during the quarter, its L1 layer still showed limited ability to capture fees directly from network usage. The report argues that more real-world demand, including use cases such as RWA settlement, may be needed to strengthen Ethereum’s role as a settlement layer and reduce the impact of cyclical swings.1940
Ethereum2026-07-03 19:31:31Ethereum Q2 REV Rebounds to $88.4M, but On-Chain Yield and Fee Capture Remain WeakThe DeFi Report’s Q2 ecosystem review shows that Ethereum generated $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) in the second quarter, up 7% quarter over quarter but down 68% from a year earlier. The report also highlights continued pressure on the quality of on-chain earnings: average real on-chain yield fell to just 0.17%, down 14% QoQ and 61% YoY, while total on-chain yield including issuance stood at 2.68%. Of that total, 94% came from issuance, with priority fees and MEV contributing only 0.17%. The data suggests that although user experience and throughput improved, Ethereum L1 is still struggling to capture meaningful fee revenue. In addition, L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation all continued to weaken during the quarter. The report argues that Ethereum may need more real-world applications, including RWA-related settlement activity, to strengthen its role as a settlement layer and reduce cyclical volatility in network revenues.2090
Ethereum2026-07-03 19:01:31Ethereum Q2 REV Rose to $88.4 Million, but On-Chain Yield and Fee Capture Remained Under PressureAccording to The DeFi Report’s Ethereum ecosystem review for the second quarter, Ethereum posted $88.4 million in real economic value (REV) in Q2, up 7% quarter over quarter but still down 68% from a year earlier. The report also showed that average real on-chain yield fell to just 0.17%, down 14% QoQ and 61% YoY, while total on-chain yield including issuance reached 2.68%. Notably, 94% of that total yield came from issuance, whereas priority fees and MEV contributed only 0.17%. The report added that L1 GDP, DeFi activity, and L2 participation all continued to weaken during the quarter. Although user experience and throughput improved, Ethereum’s L1 still showed limited fee-capture capacity. The report argues that future growth may require more real-world applications, including RWA-related use cases, to strengthen Ethereum’s role as a settlement layer and reduce cyclical volatility.1930
