Decentralized exchange behemoth Uniswap has officially added support for the Solana network to its web application. This integration allows users to connect their Solana wallets and trade Solana-based tokens directly alongside tokens from other supported networks.
The new functionality routes all Solana transactions through the leading Solana DEX aggregator, Jupiter. According to Jupiter's co-founder, SIONG, Uniswap is the first major partner to utilize the Jupiter Ultra API for these swaps.
This strategic move immediately grants Uniswap a significant presence in the Solana DEX ecosystem, which recently processed a massive $140 billion in volume over the last 30 days.
Uniswap Labs is already exploring further expansion, including:
A Uniswap engineer noted that the integration was not a one-off build for Solana, but rather the result of designing "platform-agnostic" architectural layers, setting the stage for easier future expansions.
The Solana launch is also viewed as a key step in boosting Uniswap Labs' proprietary layer-2 network, Unichain, which launched in February. Danny Daniil, Uniswap's engineering lead, stated that by "Bridging assets from Solana and other ecosystems (like HYPE) to Unichain," the L2 network can cement its status as the best chain for trading by enabling users to find the best liquidity across multiple ecosystems.
This development reinforces the trend toward decentralized, multi-chain trading, following Uniswap's milestone earlier this year of being the first DEX to process $3 trillion in aggregate all-time volume. It also aligns with the sentiment from industry figures, like 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz, who predict that centralized exchanges will soon serve only as front-ends for DEXs and DEX aggregators.
