• Tron (TRX) beats Solana (SOL) in daily active users, showing a 50% increase, while SOL lags with fewer than 1 million daily active addresses.

• Despite Tron’s higher Total Value Locked (TVL), Solana recovers faster in TVL trends, with SOL showcasing more pronounced uptrends.

Tron (TRX) network has recently overtaken Solana (SOL) in daily active addresses, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing competition among blockchain platforms. Coin98 Analytics data reveals that Tron Dao has emerged as the platform with the highest number of daily active users, boasting over 2.4 million addresses, signifying a remarkable 50% surge compared to the previous month. In contrast, despite its notable NFT activities, Solana ranked fifth with a daily active user count below 1 million.

Analysis indicates that Tron (TRX) has recently exhibited a more favorable trend than Solana (SOL) in terms of daily active addresses. While TRX saw a notable surge in its daily active user base, SOL struggled to match up, recording a figure exceeding 854,000. 

Solana Exhibits Stronger TVL Recovery

Despite Tron boasting a larger Total Value Locked (TVL) compared to Solana, recent data from DefiLlama suggests that Solana is exhibiting a more favorable trend in TVL recovery. With TRX’s TVL nearly doubling that of SOL at $8.3 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, Solana has shown resilience in its TVL trend, recovering more swiftly from recent downtrends. 

Two standout projects within Tron’s DeFi space, Just Cryptos, and JustLend DAO, have contributed significantly to this achievement. Just Cryptos boasts a TVL of $7.1 billion, while JustLend DAO, a lending and staking platform, has secured $6.4 billion in TVL. Both projects have witnessed remarkable growth, underlining the dynamism of Tron’s DeFi landscape.

Despite a minor decline in April, TRON’s TVL is still close to the $10 billion peak it reached in March. In comparison, Solana has dropped more than 40% from its peak. This shows its increase since TRON ranked sixth in January 2022. While both platforms experienced sharp declines in April, SOL’s TVL displayed a more pronounced uptrend compared to TRX, which continued to face persistent downtrends.

Contrasting Price Trends

An analysis of the price trends of Solana (SOL) and Tron (TRX) over the last six days reveals distinct patterns. TRX’s price exhibited consecutive uptrends since May 7th, experiencing only a minor decline on May 11th before resuming its upward trajectory. Starting from around $0.120, TRX’s price rose to $0.126 during this period, reflecting a 0.71% increase.

Meanwhile, SOL encountered consecutive declines on May 7th and 8th, resulting in a loss of over 7% of its value, with its price dropping to around $142. However, a significant rebound of over 7% occurred on May 9th, pushing its price back to approximately $152. Despite subsequent declines, with SOL trading at around $147 at the time of writing, representing a 2% increase, its price trend remains distinct from TRX’s upward movement.

It is worth noting that Solana boasts a higher level of decentralization compared to TRON, enhancing its trustworthiness and potentially bolstering security measures. Both platforms support self-custody, reducing reliance on central entities for security.
