TLDR:
🍌 $211.6K in fees, down from $292.9K but steady flow
📊 $145.5M in bot volume, almost flat vs $146.1M last week
🟡 BSC takes the crown with $72.1M, ETH close behind at $67.2M
🥇 ETH still dominant at 89.3%, BSC jumps to 42.9% and top spot
🌍 Aster Dex hits $85B daily perps volume, Hyperliquid gets Cathie Wood’s nod
🛠️ Devs polishing settings, charts, navigation, and building something BIG…
Banana Gun brought in $211,605 in fees this week, down from last week’s $292,871 but still showing the bot’s ability to crank out steady revenue. 🍌
On the volume side, bots pushed $145.5M from September 22nd to 28th, a small dip from the prior $146.1M, but the mix across chains looked very different this time.
BSC was the star, pulling in the biggest share by far, while Ethereum trailed close behind and Base and Solana kept things moving on the edges.
Let’s break it down.
Bot Volume, Fees and Users
Total volume: $145.5M (slightly below $146.1M last week, but with a big shift in chain activity)
Here’s the chain split:
🍌 $72.1M on BSC (massive surge, stealing the spotlight this week)
🍌 $67.2M on Ethereum (still a strong core, but edged out by BSC)
🍌 $3.2M on Base (steady as it goes)
🍌 $3M on Solana (holding its ground)
BSC taking the lead was the story here, making up nearly half the action.
Total Fees
$211,605 this week, softer than the prior $292,871 but still a solid week.
User Activity
👥 48,842 total users (a huge spike from 32,379 last week)
🔁 7,894 returning (core community keeping the rhythm steady)
🆕 40,948 new (big wave of sign-ups)
📈 740,113 cumulative users (crossing well past 700k)
The surge in new users should be taken with a pinch of salt: a lot of the influx likely came from the jump in BSC volume and fresh interest, but it’s also possible that spoofers freeriding the Banana Gun router to legitimize their buys are inflating the count.

Banana Gun vs the rest
Big swing on BSC this week: Banana Gun moved from 13.5% to 42.9% dominance, stealing the top spot from Maestro (27.4%) and leaving Sigma (18.5%) and Pepe Boost (5.8%) trailing further behind.
Not too long ago, we were barely cracking into third place, now the BSC bot looks like it’s found a rhythm and is riding the market wave.
It’s worth remembering the BSC bot only went live a few months ago, yet it’s already reshaping the leaderboard.
Meanwhile on Ethereum, it was a different story: steady as ever.
Banana Gun held firm at 89.3%, only a hair down from last week’s 89.7%, while Sigma (5.3%) and Maestro (4.9%) shuffled in the single digits.
Just quiet, continued control of the flow.
The mix of stable dominance on ETH and explosive growth on BSC paints a clear picture: Banana Gun adapts quickly, but keeps building on solid ground.

Development Updates
Development Updates
This week the devs kept balancing two tracks: pushing polish to what’s already live while quietly laying bricks for the bigger things to come. The jungle might look calm, but the kitchen is buzzing. 🍌
♻️ In Development / Progress:
- DCA (because stacking smarter never goes out of style)
- Wallet Tracker (no more guessing where the bananas went)
- Mobile responsiveness tweaks (scrolling should feel smoother everywhere)
- Trenches V3 updates: yes, including custom sound notifications 👀
🌟 Improvements & Fixes:
- Settings: more color customization + reset-to-default logic
- Bottom navigation: arrow-based pagination for smoother tab flipping on desktop
- Chart: another round of optimization for a cleaner view
- Table widgets: improved column sizing for transaction history, top holders, top traders, and more
- Buy/Sell/Snipe: confirmation button bug squashed + sharper input visualization across widgets
- Translations: more words added to the database
- Technical: steady behind-the-scenes upgrades that keep everything running
And for everyone waiting on the big drop: our long-anticipated EVM update is getting closer. Expect to be trading every new DEX, pair, and meme stablecoin like USD1 by… October 2026. (Kidding. Probably.)

Trades of the Week
This time around, two different snipes showed just how wild the Banana jungle can get.
🥇 33x on $NL
One hour after launch, a Banana Gun user slid in with $191 and turned it into an unrealized $6,370.
That’s a clean 33x in record speed: and the best part? They’re still holding the whole bag.
🥈 29x on $VIBECOIN
Another trader went the other route: patience. Forty days after launch, their quiet $100 position had swelled into $2,879.
Unrealized, untouched, still diamond-handed at a 29x.
Speed or patience, quick strikes or long holds: Banana Gun keeps showing there’s no single recipe for absurd gains.

Market Insights
Aster Dex is still stealing the show.
After weeks of hype, the protocol just pulled off another record: over $85 billion in perpetual trading volume in 24 hours, with $64 billion of that coming just from BTC/USD.
To put it in perspective, that’s more than five times what Binance saw in the same period.
And it wasn’t just noise: Aster also generated $25 million in revenue in a single day, even outpacing Tether’s usual daily haul of ~$20M. That’s not something DeFi protocols usually get to brag about.
The result? Aster now controls about 50% of the perpetual DEX market, while Hyperliquid (the undisputed leader just a couple of weeks ago at 60% share) has slipped under 20%.
Leadership shifts fast in degenland, but this one has been dramatic.
Hyperliquid, though, isn’t out of the spotlight.
Cathie Wood of Ark Invest just compared it to “early Solana”, calling it one of the most interesting new arrivals in crypto. Her funds still stick mostly to BTC, ETH, and SOL, but the nod shows how far on-chain perps have come: they’re not just retail playgrounds anymore, they’re brushing up against the TradFi radar.
Put together, the picture is clear: Aster is proving that DeFi can post numbers big enough to rival the CEX giants, while Hyperliquid is winning over the longer-term crowd that sees it as infrastructure with staying power.
One is speedrunning market share, the other is stacking credibility.
Two very different styles, but both pushing the same idea forward: on-chain perps are no longer a sideshow.

Community Highlights
Banana Twitter is never short on conviction, and this week it showed in three very different flavors.
🍌 @SatoshiOwl came through with a calm, chart-driven take. Just a reminder that bottoms are built in fear and volume tells the real story.
Sometimes it’s not about guessing the candle, but spotting when the jungle feels too quiet.
🍌 @Madridghost1 kept it short and easy.
No essays, just the kind of warning shot that sticks: “last chance”.
🍌 @SurgeArmy brought the receipts again, hammering on the disconnect between fees, revenue sharing, and where the market’s pricing Banana.
The names tagged show he’s not just tweeting: he’s dragging CT into the conversation.
Three voices, three styles, one message: the jungle isn’t just surviving shaky conditions, it’s building conviction while the rest of the market blinks. 🍌
See you next recap with more insights, more stats, and more success stories from the Banana Gun community. 🍌
