Hey Bananas, if we say “new all-time high” one more time we might have to trademark it. Because yup, it happened again.
From July 28th to August 3rd, Banana Gun clocked $163.7M in total volume: the biggest week since January, breaking past the $150M milestone like it was nothing.
But before we all pop champagne: yes, we’re aware some smart apes out there have figured out how to make their buys look like they came from trading bots. It’s a known trick, using the router directly and bypassing fees, and it shows up in the Dune data.
We’ve tried patching it before, but like true degen wizards, they always find a way back in (and now AI probably helps them do it faster).
So take the volume and users spike with a grain of salt. Still massive, still real activity behind it, but a little artificial flavoring might have snuck into the banana bread. 🍌
Still, the real all-time high wasn’t even the volume.
It was you guys: the user count went parabolic.
Let’s break it down:
Bot Volume, Fees and Users
Total volume: $163.7M
That’s up from last week’s $151.1M; and up from $124.5M the week before that.
Three weeks of green, no brakes in sight. Router scammers or not.
Here’s how it played out by chain:
🍌 $148M on Ethereum (up from 137.6M, ETH mode: beast)
🍌 $7.4M on Solana (bit of a cooldown from 8.9M, but still cooking)
🍌 $7M on Base (up big from 3.3M, Base had a week!)
🍌 $1.3M on BSC (small bump from 1.2M, chugging along)
🍌 Sonic and Blast still in support mode behind the scenes
Ethereum continues to carry hard, but Base came alive too, nearly doubling its activity.
Sol cooled off a touch, but across the board, it’s steady growth: the kind that stacks. As for the slight router sneak-around stuff, it’s part of the on-chain game. We’ll adapt, as always.
Total Fees
This week Banana collected $256,052 in fees.
That’s a bit higher than last week’s $247K: nothing crazy, just good solid output.
Remember: 40% of all fees flow straight into $BANANA holders and even with a few bots in the machine, the revenue remains real.
So whether the Dune bots are real or not, the fee share hitting your wallet is very real.
User activity
👥 30,318 total users
🔁 13,520 returning (up from 11,930)
🆕 16,798 new (huge leap from 9,336)
That’s another all-time high for user count, and this time, it’s not even close.
And yes, some of those new faces might not be "faces" in the traditional sense... maybe just a script and a mission.

Banana Gun vs the rest
Still on top: and now we’ve widened the gap.
$159.33M in 7-day volume, securing the #1 trading bot spot once again.
Trojan followed with $117.9M, and Maestro trailed at $63.94M.
Even if some scammers were riding our router, it wasn’t them that made the gap bigger, it was the thousands of real traders that showed up, stayed active, and pushed Banana Gun forward.
From $149.56M last week to $159.33M now. Banana stays moving.
Then there’s Ethereum. The yellow mountain isn’t just holding: it’s growing.
73% of trading bot volume on ETH flowed through Banana Gun this week.
That’s up from 70.7% last week, and way above Maestro’s 22.5% or Sigma’s 3.9%.
This is a banana takeover. That ETH dominance is starting to look permanent.

Market Insights
The chain wars aren’t over: but Ethereum’s been on a victory lap for weeks now.
This week it just kept flexing.
You can see it right in the daily chart: the purple layer (Solana) has kept shrinking, while the blue mountain of Ethereum begins to dominate the skyline. ETH is winning and looking undeniable. Solana is still hanging in strong, but it’s definitely playing defense lately.
That said, volume is still meaningfully split: ETH and SOL remain the core engines of on-chain activity. But right now, it’s Ethereum’s narrative that’s leading the charge.
Nevertheless, all eyes are still on these two protagonists, and until another chain pulls something huge, it’s hard to imagine that changing.
Beyond the data, macro narratives are adding spice:
In the U.S., we’ve got a wild mix of Trump’s crypto-friendly task forces, stock market chaos, and reshuffling at the Fed that led the markets to sudden swings.
Meanwhile, meme protocol experiments like Moonit are going full AI on 9GAG, turning internet virality into tokens. Chaos, innovation, and opportunity everywhere you look.

Trade of the Week
Apparently, some trades just age like wine. 🍷
This week’s standout didn’t come from a fresh launch or a lightning-fast snipe: but from patience.
🥇 33x on $MAGIC
$33 turned into $1,063 (unrealized), 217 days after launch.
Bag still fully intact, and the magic is very much alive.
Sometimes it’s not about the first hour, it’s about the long haul.
