How Ethereum Flips Google Search Interest in the Web 3.0 Blockchain Era

Solana Surpasses Ethereum in Search Interest

Google searches for the term “Solana” surpassed “Ethereum” for the first time in 2023 as traders became curious about movements within its ecosystem. While Ethereum had a wide lead against Solana in search interest throughout the year, the data shifted from Dec. 17 to Dec. 23, with Solana having a search interest score of 56 to Ethereum’s 50.

According to Google Trends data, the search term Solana is set to get a score of 100 in terms of search interest from Dec. 24 to Dec. 30. Google Trends notes that a value of 100 means “peak popularity for the term.”

The data also showed that Solana attracted more search interest than Ethereum in countries such as Spain and the Philippines. However, interest in Ethereum still dominated in Indonesia, Taiwan, Morocco and others.

Solana is a web 3.0 blockchain project that is gaining traction in 2021. It has seen a surge in popularity due to its innovative design trends and its use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs are digital assets that are unique and can be used to create a metaverse. Solana is also becoming increasingly popular among investors as it has been seen as a potential alternative to Ethereum.

Solana’s Performance and Web 3.0

Data has revealed that users searching for Solana have expressed interest in terms like “bonk” and “tensor.” Bonk is a memecoin that recently overtook Pepecoin (PEPE) in market capitalization following a 370% monthly gain. Tensor, on the other hand, is a Solana-based nonfungible token marketplace that created the Tensorians NFT collection, which saw impressive growth over the last 30 days.

The recent surge in the price of Solana’s (SOL) token may have contributed to this interest in the proof-of-stake blockchain platform. On Dec. 20, SOL’s market cap surpassed Ripple’s XRP (XRP), with the token’s price reaching $82 for the first time since May 2022.

On Dec. 22, SOL flipped BNB (BNB), taking the spot for the fourth-largest crypto token by market capitalization. However, BNB reclaimed its place on Dec. 29, as the SOL token returned to pre-Christmas prices.

As the crypto market continues to develop, the potential of Web 3.0 blockchain projects is becoming more and more apparent. People are exploring the possibilities of Web 3.0 design trends, NFTs and Metaverse, and Google’s role in Web 3.0. 2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year for these Web 3.0 blockchain projects.
