Ethereum Dapps led the peloton in Q1 2025 and generated more than $ 1 billion in reimbursements, many superlative competitors such as Basic, BNB chain and arbitrum, and emphasized the constant dominance of Ethereum in decentralized application income.
Ethereum Dapps that exceed the basic and BNB chain in Q1 costs
Ethereum remains its position as the leading platform for decentralized applications (DAPPs), where Dapp’s on the network generate a stunning $ 1.014 billion in reimbursements during the first quarter of 2025, according to the token terminal.
Basic, Coinbase’s Layer 2 -chain, achieved far behind, achieved second place with $ 193 million in Dapp costs, which reflects the growing traction, but still an important gap of the dominance of Ethereum. BNB chain Dapps followed closely and collected $ 170 million, while the ecosystem of Arbitrum yielded $ 73.8 million. The C-Chain of Avalanche declined the top five, with his DAPPs who generated $ 27.68 million in reimbursements.

The data underline the continuous leadership of Ethereum in user involvement and transactional activities within the decentralized financial and web3 application space. While Laag 2S and alternative chains are gaining ground, the established infrastructure of Ethereum and the robust developer ecosystem are important factors of its market strength.
With the use of DAPP use and generating reimbursements as critical indicators for network supply and acceptance, the Q1 results show that Ethereum still determines the pace in the ever-increasing blockchain ecosystem.
