Hey Bananas, another step forward! 🍌
On-chain is heating up again, and we're keeping pace.
This week’s recap takes a closer look at where things stand: from volume, fees, users, and dominance across bots to the latest dev updates. We’re also spotlighting some of the best trades and community content that caught our eye.
Plenty happening behind the scenes, and even more out in the open.
Let’s get into the numbers and highlights.
The numbers here cover the week from 28.04.2025 to 05.05.2025.
Bot volume, fees, and users
We clocked in $42.3 Million in volume this week, here’s the spread:
- $20.9M on Ethereum
- $16.0M on Solana
- $4.2M on Base
- $1.1M on BSC
- And a couple bananas on Sonic and Blast 🍌
That marks five straight weeks of growth, and while we’re not in full send mode yet, the signs are stacking: onchain isn’t dead: it’s just waking up slowly, stretching its legs, and reaching for caffeine.
Fees landed at $266,123, all from actual trading. As always, 40% of that flows back to $BANANA holders. No fluff, no emissions, just volume turning into revenue share.
Momentum’s creeping back into the trenches: deployers are testing the waters, memecoins are stirring, and volume’s inching up across the board. We’re not at peak madness yet, but Banana’s on standby, ready to farm whatever chaos pops up next.
User activity
Let’s talk about who’s been clicking buttons this week.
We clocked in 9,239 total users across all chains: a little softer than last week, but still solid. The real standout here? New users absolutely popped off with 3,975 fresh wallets jumping into the bot. A healthy bounce, and the chart below shows it loud and clear.
Returning users cooled off slightly to 5,264, but it’s still a strong number, especially considering how quiet the market feels. The split this week shows one thing: a lot of new eyes are starting to poke around again. Something’s shifting.
More coins launching, more snipers reloading. Not full-blown trench warfare just yet… but the pre-game lobby is filling up fast.
And Banana’s right there, locked and loaded.

Banana Gun vs the rest
Let’s check the scoreboard.
On Ethereum, Banana Gun is still holding the crown with 48.7% of all bot volume. Down from 54.5% last week, but still sitting comfortably at number one. The dip is natural with more bots trying to make noise, but Banana’s lead remains clear. The graph below says it all: we’re still the go-to tool for ETH snipers.
The bigger story? Base.
We jumped from 19% to 29.7% dominance in just a week. That’s a massive move. More users, more trades, and clearly more trust in Banana on one of the most chaotic chains right now. With on-chain activity heating up again, it’s clear traders are loading the bot where the action is.
Each chain has its own rhythm, but Banana’s showing up across the board: adapting, expanding, and proving it belongs in every sniper’s kit.
Development Updates
Webapp upgrades
The Banana Pro webapp just keeps evolving, and this week we’ve got both heavy hitters and sneaky little quality-of-life updates rolling in.
Here’s what’s coming soon™:
- A shiny new Top Holders widget so you can stalk whales in real time
- A Top Traders widget to see who’s really farming the trenches
- And a completely revamped Copy Trading system, so you can shamelessly follow the gigabrains without lifting a finger
We’re also giving the Referral Dashboard a glow-up, because yes, even spreadsheets deserve to look good.
And for those paying close attention, we’ve already pushed live a bunch of smaller fixes and polish, like:
- Twitter previews in Trenches (finally you can meme-snipe properly)
- Retry button on PnL cards (for when it didn't work the first time... or the second)
- Improved swap messages so they’re no longer as vague as your exit strategy
- Multiple wallet balances, prettier number formatting, better redirects
- A snappier, more spacious Snipe widget, and yeah, the tooltips got a glow-up too
Basically: the bot is smoother, smarter, and more usable across the board. Still the same chaos-sniping engine underneath, just with more finesse.
And no, we’re not done: there’s a lot more in the pipeline.
Stay tuned. Banana Pro’s just getting started. 🍌

Trades of the week
You already know we had to bring back the banana bangers section. A new week, a new lineup of degens making the most of the chaos out there. Memecoins keep launching, snipers keep sniping, and some of you are putting up numbers that would make your 2021 self jealous.
Here’s the podium for this week’s most outrageous plays: unrealized gains and some serious entries:
🥉 Position 3 – 28x on $FUCKCOIN
CA: Cz75ZtjwgZmr5J1VDBRTm5ZybZvEFR5DEdb8hEy59pWq
This legend turned $1155 into $32.14k. No typo. Got in 25 minutes after launch and is still holding all of it with diamond hands. Fully embracing the name of the coin too.
🥈 Position 2 – 32x on $STARBASE
CA: 2MVy9drHqSBinPoSyUrUVS19m5u8Cjj3mZcnpYshpump
Entered with just $72 and sent it to $2309. 12 minutes post-launch entry, never sold, and still holding the full bag. Respect the conviction, and the intergalactic patience.
🥇 Position 1 – 37x on $HOUND
CA: BL8Yg1R92NjDJipgmDDJvmgu3xRZFaYkpsuhfNxrpump
The top sniper of the week caught $HOUND four hours after launch and turned $145 into a cool $5308 (unrealized). Once again, 100% of the bag still in play at the time of writing, clearly waiting for that full moon bark.
So yeah… sniping season might not be officially back, but some of you are already acting like it never left.
Community Highlights
Yeah, we’ve got volume, users, and trades... but Banana Twitter? That’s where the real alpha hits. Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite posts from this past week — from speed flexes to spreadsheets to certified thread wars.
🍌First up: @CashIsTrash_ makes his second straight appearance here. Back-to-back MVP? We might need to rename this section if he keeps going.
🍌Next, @graciousoymilk enters the chat with numbers that would give your accountant goosebumps:
🍌And then there’s @Donnie100x… with a thread so long it might qualify as a whitepaper. We swear X tried to truncate it four times, but he just kept posting. If you missed it: a full Banana Pro breakdown covering product usage, user retention, APY, revshare mechanics, and yes... charts for days.
Banana Pro as onchain infra? He makes a strong case, and he brought the receipts.
We won’t even try to include the whole thread (link), so here’s the first part:
That’s all for this week! See you next time with more insights, more stats, and more success stories from the Banana Gun community.
