“Yeah, right now we're at two million daily six million weeklies, and then eighteen million monthlies, which is the highest of any blockchain and passed all the other ones about 60 days ago.”

The claim, plainly

As of June 2022, Solana has 2 million daily, 6 million weekly, and 18 million monthly active accounts, surpassing all other blockchains approximately 60 days prior.

Assessment

Raj Gokul's claim fails on both the reported activity numbers and the cross-chain superlative ranking. According to independent on-chain analytics from Messari, The Block, and Wheatstones, Solana's daily active fee-paying accounts/addresses ranged between 250,000 and 700,000 in June 2022, well below the stated 2 million daily active accounts. Furthermore, Solana had not surpassed all other blockchains ~60 days prior (around April 2022); BNB Chain maintained the highest daily active address count across major Layer 1 blockchains throughout Q2 2022, averaging 889,000 to 1.3 million daily active addresses compared to Solana's lower unique active user counts.

Messari Research reported Solana daily unique fee-paying accounts averaged ~205,000 in Q1 2022 and 250,000–350,000 in Q2 2022.
The Block showed Solana 7-day moving average daily active addresses fluctuated between ~300,000 and ~500,000 in June 2022.
Messari and Binance Research confirmed BNB Chain led Layer 1 blockchains in daily active addresses throughout Q2 2022, averaging ~1.0 million, disproving that Solana had surpassed all blockchains 60 days prior.

Gokul: Solana reached mainnet on under $10M after ETH crash

“The first seed was a little over three million, and that was more or less enough. The next round was like 13, but a ton of it got wiped out, because most of it came in in ETH. And before we found a custodian and were able to sell any of it, a lot of that value…”
