Hey Bananas, this week the chart looks a little different: but still strong.
From August 11th to August 17th, Banana Gun clocked $185M in total volume, a cool-down from last week’s monster $236.2M but still way up compared to July’s $151.1M streak.
As always, remember: Dune data comes with a pinch of salt. Some clever apes keep routing through our contract to make it look like bot activity without paying fees. That’s why fees remain the truest signal of how Banana is really cooking. 🍌
Let’s break it down:
Bot Volume, Fees and Users
Total volume: $185M (from $236.2M last week, $163.7M before that)
Here’s the chain breakdown:
🍌 $169.4M on Ethereum (ETH cooled but still carried the scoreboard)
🍌 $7.2M on Solana (steady from $7.3M)
🍌 $7.6M on Base (a nice pop from $5.5M)
🍌 $780K on BSC (small rise from $667K, still the quiet corner)
🍌 Sonic & Blast: still running in support mode behind the scenes
ETH continues to be the engine, Sol holds steady, and Base showed fresh strength with a bump in activity.
Total Fees
$256,378: up from $200,185 last week and right back near the $256K level we saw two weeks ago.
That’s the clearest signal that real trading stayed strong, even if volume charts looked noisier.
User activity
👥 31,575 total users (from last week’s 39,778)
🔁 14,729 returning (slight dip from 16,488)
🆕 16,846 new (from 23,290)
📈 600,541 cumulative users in the Banana jungle
The weekly spike cooled, but the base stayed strong, and the long-term growth line is still straight up.
“Banana Gun: volume wiggles, fees don’t lie.”
Banana Gun vs the rest
We kept the crown this week with $197.32M in volume, well ahead of Trojan at $131.03M and Maestro at $76.49M.
Last week we were at $220.94M, so volume cooled slightly, but the gap stayed wide.
On Ethereum, dominance kept growing.
We climbed from 74.6% last week to 84.1% this week. Maestro slid from 22.5% to 10.9% and Sigma ticked up from 2.4% to 4.1%. The yellow mountain is turning into a yellow block, and the view from up here just keeps getting clearer.
Things can change quick in this market, but right now Banana Gun is running comfortably in front.
“Banana Gun: steady steps, steady cooking.”
Market Insights
Every week the “next bull run” headline gets louder, but at this point it’s starting to look like we’re already in it.
Ethereum ETFs just printed $1B in inflows in a single day, with BlackRock grabbing the biggest share. This brought the total to a record $2.85B in a single week. ETH is now brushing right up against its all-time high, and if this momentum keeps rolling, retirement portfolios might soon include staking guides.
Meanwhile, Trump signed an executive order that could unlock $9T worth of 401 (k)s for crypto allocations. Even a 10% dip into Bitcoin would be a massive wave of new demand.
Circle also decided they’re tired of renting roads from Ethereum and Solana. They dropped ARC, a brand new chain built just for stablecoins. Depending on who you ask, it’s either “the next big infrastructure play” or “centralization with extra paperwork”.
On-chain, the meme coin circus never stops. $PEPE on Bags pulled in hundreds of thousands in royalties for Matt Furie (who casually followed them on Twitter), Swifties sent $ORANGE flying before it cooled off, and $MET and $MONAD are about to test whether farmers and new chains can still get hype at launch.
The jungle feels like it’s moving in every direction at once, but all of it adds up to the same signal: momentum is real, and crypto’s spotlight is only getting brighter.
“Markets heat up, Banana Gun stays locked and loaded.”

Community Highlights
Crypto Twitter still can’t stop talking bananas: charts, memes, prophecies, and plenty of conviction.
🍌 @benaiahwarrior kept it simple and bullish: Banana is one of his favorite spot long-term plays, giving him passive income también.
Bottom is in, resistance is next, and the 3-digit target is on deck.
🍌 @godinnesss went with a different kind of TA: the legendary yellow “candle” is headed for $500, and apparently it’s going there with or without you.
🍌 And yes, @CashIsTrash_ is back again with another stats bomb. $76M+ in fees last year, 9K+ daily active users, live on multiple chains, Pro upgrades, catalysts, liquidity… and oh, more fees than CRV, Pendle, or dydx.
Same jungle, same energy: Banana is front and center on CT.
See you next recap with more insights, more stats, and more success stories from the Banana Gun community. 🍌
