Uniswap Adds Solana Support via Jupiter Integration
Decentralized exchange (DEX) leader Uniswap has officially added Solana network support to its web app, enabling users to connect Solana wallets and trade Solana-based tokens directly alongside assets from other blockchains.
In its announcement, Uniswap Labs revealed that this expansion is part of a broader cross-chain strategy, including bridging, cross-chain swaps, and full Uniswap Wallet integration for Solana in future updates.
Solana trades on Uniswap will be processed through Jupiter, the largest DEX aggregator on the Solana network. SIONG, Jupiterâs pseudonymous co-founder, confirmed that Uniswap is the first major partner to leverage Jupiterâs new Ultra API, designed for high-performance token swaps.
$140 Billion Solana Market Within Reach
The integration gives Uniswap access to Solanaâs fast-growing DEX ecosystem, which has processed roughly $140 billion in trading volume over the past month alone.
During that same period, Jupiter generated $17.5 million in revenue, highlighting the robust liquidity and activity on Solana.
Uniswapâs entry positions it to capture a significant share of Solanaâs trading market, while also providing its existing users with seamless access to over one million Solana-based tokens.
Cross-Chain Vision: Building for Multiple Networks
A Uniswap engineer explained that the Solana addition was not a one-off integration but part of a platform-agnostic architecture built to support multiple blockchain ecosystems efficiently.
Danny Daniil, Uniswapâs engineering lead for trading, said that this move will also strengthen Unichain, Uniswap Labsâ Layer-2 network launched in February.
âBridging assets from Solana and other ecosystems (like HYPE) to Unichain lets traders find the best liquidity, wherever it lives,â Daniil noted.
This expansion underscores Uniswapâs ambition to become the universal liquidity layer across major blockchain ecosystems.
The Solana integration also comes amid a broader shift from centralized exchanges (CEXs) to decentralized trading.
Earlier this month, 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz predicted that centralized exchanges will cease to exist in their current form within the next decade, evolving into front-end interfaces for DEX aggregators.
