Over the last month, the DeFi ecosystem has witnessed some striking shifts in user adoption. A few projects are seeing explosive growth that's hard to ignore.
Sunpump Meme leads the charge with a jaw-dropping 368% spike in active users—way ahead of the pack. DeFi JUST isn't far behind at 245%, while Venus Protocol solidified its position with 239% growth. For those tracking liquid staking plays, Lido Finance continues its steady climb at 25.4%, maintaining strong momentum in the restaking narrative.
On the faster-moving end, Bananagun shot up 116%, and Celer Network registered 107% growth, both riding waves in their respective niches. Meanwhile, the bot ecosystem showed mixed signals—Maestro Bots grew 26.7%, and Meson Fi hit 26% as users explore different trading automation approaches.
What's telling here is the diversity. We're seeing gains scattered across liquid staking (LDO), governance tokens (XVS), utility plays (BANANA), and infrastructure solutions (CELR). Not all dApps move together anymore. Whether these are sustainable or flash growth remains to be seen, but the 30-day window paints a picture of an ecosystem still experimenting and shifting capital between protocols.

Sunpump's 368% surge is outrageous, meme coins really can't be stopped when they go crazy...
---
Lido is steadily climbing, this is the pace I like
---
Bot ecosystem gains are not significant, it seems trading automation hasn't been fully accepted yet
---
DeFi just hit 245%, this coin has to be on my watch list
---
Diversity definitely exists, but I suspect most of it is short-term speculation
---
Banana and CELR are dark horses; it feels like the next hot spot is right here
---
Most of the growth is flash, the truly active ones might not be that many
---
Venus has surged to 239%, BNB Chain is really active now

368%? Meme coins are causing trouble again. This market is really crazy.
---
Lido can't even go up? Has lsding really become outdated?
---
bananagun 116%. What kind of crazy thing is also rising...
---
Diversity, my ass. It's just hot money rushing around. Next month will be another story.
---
Just want to know if this growth can survive the next bear market.
---
Venus up 239%, but no one is discussing it. Everyone's just talking about meme coins. Laughing to death.

Sunpump's 368% is truly crazy, but I just want to know how long this wave can last...
