In 2025, the confrontation between the Ethereum and Solana blockchains became one of the key plots of the crypto industry.
Social Dynamics
According to LunarCrush, community activity develops in waves: some weeks Solana leads, other weeks — Ethereum. There is no sustained dominance.
• Ethereum (ETH) maintains an advantage in key market metrics — price, volume, and overall market strength.
• Solana (SOL) is quickly narrowing the gap in social activity, demonstrating growth in mentions, content, and engagement.
This dynamic highlights the importance of analyzing not only market data but also social data, as social momentum often precedes capital movement.
The partnership between LunarCrush and Surmount
Against the backdrop of competition, LunarCrush announced a collaboration with Surmount, launching a strategy based on AltRank.
• The fund uses the top-15 altcoins by market capitalization, combining social and market metrics.
• The strategy analyzes 40-day social activity, forming a basket of 15 cryptocurrencies with the highest momentum and is rebalanced monthly.
AltRank, created to find strong signals in a saturated information field, has proven its effectiveness in a real investment strategy. The partnership between Surmount and Coinbase strengthens trust in the model and establishes socially-oriented analysis as part of modern infrastructure.
Impact on ecosystems
For Ethereum and Solana, the growth of social competition becomes an important factor in the perception of both networks.
• ETH relies on a strong market base.
• SOL shows dynamic growth in attention, making the competition more balanced and promising.
