We just made our @Solana dashboard available to everyone 🔥
Let this be your one-stop shop for all things Solana data. Track TEV stats, validator and staker cash flow, transaction activity/segmentation, and more!
Let's take a look at the highlights 👇
This dashboard was made available in collaboration with the @SolanaFndn. You can check it out using the link below!
TEV tracks the total amount of top-line fee generation for a blockchain, via both in-protocol transaction fees and out-of-protocol tips. Thus it tracks users' willingness to pay for state and blockspace.
Solana TEV erupted higher in 2024, currently sitting at $9m/week.
Source of TEV: Priority fees and Jito tips currently drive ~85% of TEV as users compete on execution speed.
Use of TEV: The Burn, Validators, and Stakers see roughly equal shares of TEV. SIMD-0096 will soon decrease the burn and increase Validator's share of TEV.
We also zoom in on the cash flow to validators and stakers, breaking down where the value is derived. The table below also accounts for emissions, unlike TEV.
Note that validator commissions are currently estimated using the stake-weighted average commission rates.
Using the Onchain Activity tab, you will see metrics that analyze transaction level metrics.
As an example, we segment addresses by the number of txs sent per day to isolate bots (>5000). We see that bots have a 25x higher revert rate than addresses that send 1-5 tx/day.
We also see a meaningful gap in median fee between these two groups, suggesting that bots are more sophisticated and capable of paying a lower median fee & addresses in the 1-5 group are less sensitive to fees.
Solana transactions are constructed with a series of "instruction" calls to onchain programs/smart contracts. Our dashboard tracks the compute unit (CU) consumed and fees generated by these instructions.
We track consumption based on outer instruction calls only.
We will continue developing this dashboard over the coming weeks. You will soon see fresh tracking of:
- Enhanced Stablecoin metrics
- Staking and supply data
- Detailed DEX breakdown
- Network health tracking
Let us know if there's anything you want to see! We will build it.

1/ Meta-aggregators are making the Solana swapping landscape more competitive, improving price execution for users.
Let's dive into this under-discussed sector 🧵
2/ Meta-aggregators like @Titan_Exchange route trades through third-party aggregators such as Jupiter, OKX, and DFlow, as well as off-chain sources like Pyth's Express Relay.
Titan has also developed a proprietary routing algorithm, Talos, registering over $35M in weekly volume.
3/ In April, @KaminoFinance released a meta-aggregator to complement its limit order product.
In recent weeks, OKX has won an increasing share of volume initiated through Kamino Swap.
1/ DATA UPDATE: We're excited to release Hyperliquid as the newest dashboard on @blockworksres.
Built by @0xSharples, the dashboard currently covers Hyperliquid's trading platform, spot trading, and futures trading on HyperCore, as well as a financials section that encompasses both the HyperCore and HyperEVM.
2/ Total revenue has been consistent on Hyperliquid. With the HyperEVM gaining traction recently, it provides HYPE token holders another source of revenue.
Currently, Hyperliquid is on pace to make $600 million in token holder revenue this year.
3/ Almost all of the revenue from Hyperliquid's trading platfrom is from Perps trading. Currently about 3% is derived from spot trading.
1/ Hyperliquid's HIP-3 proposal outlines its evolution towards a foundational liquidity infrastructure platform, enabling permissionless creation of Hypercore perpetual markets by third-party builders.
Learn more about its impact on revenue, builders, and Hyperliquid's vision:
2/ HIP-3 builds on:
HIP-1: Enabled permissionless spot market creation. Developers launched spot tokens on a HyperCore order book, winning "ticker rights" in 31-hour Dutch auctions (USDC bids, cumulative $20M revenue total to Assistance Fund).
HIP-2: Complemented HIP-1 by allowing deployers to bootstrap an automated market maker strategy (Hyperliquidity) for new spot tokens, providing embedded liquidity at issuance.
3/ HIP-3 extends the auction model to perpetual futures, allowing builders to permissionlessly create dedicated HyperCore order books for any asset with an oracle. Winning a 31-hour Dutch auction (bids in HYPE, creating a deflationary sink) grants a one-block window to deploy.
The deployer then defines contract specifications (quote/base asset), the oracle-updater, collateral token, margin tiers, funding frequency, and an optional extra fee up to 50%. For security, a 1M HYPE stake is required which can be slashed.
1/ With over $3B in liquidity, @pendle_fi dominates the vertical in which it operates. Tailwinds are present for growing Pendle’s utilization, distribution, and revenue.
- PTs coming to @aave
- Permissionless listings
- YT take rate from 3% to 5%
- Boros upgrade
🧵
2/ Pendle's PTs can make for highly attractive collaterals on money markets.
Particularly for carry trades, the fixed yield offered by PTs can reduce the variance and uncertainty in the realized yield on the long leg of these strategies.
Historically, @MorphoLabs has won the lion's share of lending against these instruments, given permissionless vault creation.
3/ However, Aave recently passed an ARFC approving the listing of PTs on the main market, beginning with USDe and sUSDe PTs.
As eligible collateral on the largest money market offering a demand venue for growing utilization of the instruments, Pendle's PTs can benefit from broader distribution and utility.
