Amid a strong daily volume, a hefty TVL, and millions of transactions, Base is pulling ahead. What if the Layer 2 battle already has its silent winner?
Solana is deploying record volumes and seeing its TVL climb, but the price remains stuck below $130, held back by resistance. The crypto market is still waiting for the trigger for a rally.
In the arena of cryptos, Solana plays the gladiators. Despite a turbulent sea, it withstands, shines, and aims for a peak that could very well shake the skeptics.

The Ethereum ecosystem is currently experiencing significant growth in its TVL (total value locked), reaching unprecedented levels since 2022. On February 11, 2025, Ethereum's TVL reached 21.8 million ETH, marking its highest level since October 2022, representing an 11% increase from the previous month. A momentum that unfortunately may not benefit ETH.
Solana-based applications are now significantly outpacing Ethereum by generating revenues ten times higher, according to cryptocurrency researcher Aylo. This performance occurs despite a bear market context and a slowdown in transactions.
Since its launch, Solana has distinguished itself as one of the most innovative blockchains in the industry. With its execution speed and some of the lowest transaction fees, it has attracted a dynamic ecosystem of developers and users. However, December 2024 marked a critical period. The Total Value Locked (TVL) in its DeFi ecosystem recorded a dramatic drop of $1.1 billion, reaching a critical level of $8.01 billion. This decline reflects weakened activity on the blockchain, as evidenced by a 7% decrease in the number of daily active addresses. At the same time, network revenues also fell by 24%, intensifying concerns about the sustainability and attractiveness of this leading platform. These numbers raise questions about Solana's ability to maintain its position in an increasingly competitive environment.
In November, DeFi tokens saw a spectacular increase of over 50%, pushing the total value locked (TVL) to levels not seen since 2021. On November 25, the TVL reached $118.4 billion, marking a strong comeback for the decentralized finance sector.

The Total Value Locked (TVL) in the context of decentralized finance (DeFi) defines the total value of assets locked in DeFi protocols and smart contracts. In other words, it measures the total amount of locked and utilized cryptocurrencies in various decentralized financial services, including liquidity pools, borrowing and lending protocols, decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms, among others. TVL is often seen as an indicator of the popularity and adoption of different DeFi protocols. It acts as a barometer of this crypto ecosystem. Indeed, according to recent data, the TVL of DeFi is in its best shape thanks to the dynamism of Ethereum. This article explains the ins and outs of this trend.
