According to the most recent CoinMarketCap מעלדונג, עטהערעום is in the process of losing dominance against other DeFi competitors like Uniswap, Compound, Yearn Finance and others.
Ethereum was the first smart contract in the digital assets industry and saw numerous popularity cycles back in 2017, with l the most recent one in 2021.

Another representative of EVM-compatible chains was Avalanche, launched right before the DeFi craze in September 2020. After the summer of 2021, Avalanche’s TVL and market capitalization skyrocketed.

During the NFT craze, Ethereum’s inability to keep up with user demand resulted in ridiculously high fees on the network, which played out in favor of Solana, which offered the same functionality for a cheaper “price.”
At its peak, Solana reported $78 billion of market capitalization, but because of the constant downtimes and other technical issues, users left the network for good, leaving it with $17 billion of קאַפּיטאַליזיישאַן.
