Solana reclaimed Web3 DApp revenue at 28% after a 22-month streak ended in March.

Ethereum followed at 23%, Hyperliquid at 21%.

Polygon reached a 12% ATH, driven by Polymarket flows and stablecoin payments.

Solana DApps revenue printed $69M, a 19-month low.

Solana's DApp layer outearned the base layer again.

The ratio held at 3.7x in April, its seventh straight month above 3x.

It peaked at 4.3x in November 2025, up from ~2x in mid-2025.

Physical TCG was the only category to grow in April.

Every other category declined; Memecoin DApps, DEXes, and Infrastructure each shed ~21% MoM.

DePIN was the most resilient declining category, slipping just 4.5%.

Pump.fun's $28M matched the other seven top-earning DApps combined.

Its $28M revenue was more than 3x runner-up Axiom's $8M.

Solana DApps revenue stayed highly concentrated at the top.

The sector held above $2M for an eighth straight month, its longest streak on record.

Revenue rose to $400k, though it remained 84% below May 2025's $2.6M peak.

In mid-April, Jito and KODA signed an MoU to explore institutional JitoSOL custody and staking access in South Korea.

deBridge bounced 42% off March's cycle low to $92k.

Revenue still trailed late-2025's ~$300k pace, but April delivered two AI-agent integrations.

TRON DAO integrated deBridge's MCP server, and B.AI followed with an intent-based cross-chain partnership.

Recurring subscriptions now drive 78% of Squads revenue.
