BNB Chain has reclaimed the top spot among active blockchain networks, surpassing both Solana and NEAR Protocol in September with 52.5 million active addresses, according to DefiLlama.
The renewed growth marks the first time Solana has been dethroned since August 2024.
Analysts attribute the surge to the growing hype surrounding ASTER, which fueled extensive on-chain activity and pushed total value locked (TVL) on Aster to $2.34 billion — a 570% rise from $347 million.
The growth reflects increasing user adoption of decentralized trading and yield farming within the BNB ecosystem.
BNB Chain’s Layer 1 network saw a 22% increase in active users, while its Layer 2 scaling solution, OpBNB, built on the OP Stack, recorded a remarkable 66% jump.
Analysts such as Darkfost noted that these figures place BNB Chain ahead of Base, Solana, and even Ethereum in terms of user activity. The strong ecosystem demand has also driven BNB token prices to fresh highs.
