CryptoSlam ranks Solana as the fourth-best NFT blockchain behind Ethereum, Ronin and Wax in terms of 24-hour sales volume. Secondary sales volume for Solana-based nonfungible tokens (NFT) has reached almost $500 million since the start of August.

According to data from CryptoSlam, secondary sales of Solana NFTs have generated a total of roughly $497.7 million from around 348,000 transactions as of Tuesday, with the average sale per NFT tallying in at $1,500.

The data shows that Solana saw a record month for secondary NFT sales volume during September with a total of $189.4 million. While Solana is seen by some as an “Ethereum killer,” the Ethereum blockchain remains the most popular, with NFT aficionados and secondary sales on Ethereum topping $2.2 billion that same month.
