Other platforms, such as Injective, BNB Chain, and TON, brought in between $1.19 million and $1.54 million, reflecting steady growth in their respective niche areas.

Mantle and Polygon rounded out the top 15 with $314,000 and $158,000 respectively. While their revenues were smaller, both platforms show potential for expansion in the future.

This revenue breakdown highlights Tron’s leading position and Ethereum’s continued relevance, while Solana and other platforms show promise in the evolving blockchain landscape.
