Uniswap Adds Solana to Its Platform Connecting Major DeFi Ecosystems

Uniswap has officially added support for Solana on its web application, allowing users to connect Solana wallets and trade SOL tokens directly from the interface. This marks the first time Uniswap’s users can access Solana-based assets without leaving the app.

The update broadens Uniswap’s reach beyond Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks, expanding its presence into the Solana ecosystem — one of the largest DeFi environments by total value locked (TVL).

Streamlining Multi-Chain Access

Until now, Uniswap users had to use separate applications to trade Solana assets. The new integration removes that hurdle.

In its announcement, Uniswap Labs wrote:

“With support built in, you can now access tokens across Ethereum, Solana, Unichain, Base, and more — all from the Uniswap Web App.”

The goal is to reduce the growing fragmentation in decentralized finance. For years, the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems have evolved independently, creating challenges for traders who move between them.

Uniswap stated that fragmentation adds friction for seasoned traders and makes it difficult for newcomers to participate in DeFi. With Solana support now live, Uniswap aims to bridge those gaps while keeping the experience consistent across blockchains.

Technical Integration with Jupiter

All Solana-based transactions on Uniswap will be routed through Jupiter, Solana’s leading DEX aggregator. Jupiter’s pseudonymous co-founder, SIONG, confirmed that Uniswap is the first major partner to use its Ultra API for swaps.

This partnership enables fast, low-cost swaps on Solana directly through Uniswap’s familiar interface. Jupiter has seen a significant increase in usage, handling $140 billion in trading volume over the last 30 days and generating $17.5 million in revenue during the same period.

For Uniswap, this collaboration also ensures efficient routing, minimal slippage, and reliable liquidity across Solana’s decentralized exchanges.

Uniswap engineers said the integration wasn’t built specifically for Solana but rather through “architect layers” that make future network additions simpler.

This means Uniswap’s infrastructure is becoming platform-agnostic, capable of supporting multiple ecosystems without needing to rebuild the application each time.

Supporting Unichain and Cross-Chain Liquidity

According to Danny Daniil, Uniswap’s engineering lead for trading, Solana’s integration will also strengthen Unichain, a Layer-2 network developed by Uniswap Labs earlier this year.

Daniil explained:

“Bridging assets from Solana and other ecosystems (like HYPE) to Unichain lets traders find the best liquidity, wherever it lives.”

By connecting Solana’s liquidity to Unichain, Uniswap expects to create a more unified trading environment that can route assets seamlessly between chains.

The company also confirmed that it is exploring bridging, cross-chain swaps, and full Uniswap Wallet support for Solana in the coming months.

Solana’s Position in DeFi

Solana remains one of the largest DeFi networks by activity. As of October 2025, it holds $10.60 billion in total value locked (TVL), second only to Ethereum’s $84.8 billion.

This makes Solana an essential addition for Uniswap, whose protocol already leads the decentralized exchange market. Uniswap’s monthly revenue stands at $213 million, compared to PancakeSwap’s $63 million.

Adding Solana support not only expands Uniswap’s reach but also gives traders access to an ecosystem with fast, low-cost transactions — features that have made Solana popular for DeFi and memecoin trading.

How to Use Solana on Uniswap

Users can now trade Solana assets directly on the Uniswap Web App. To do this:

• Visit the official Uniswap Web App.
• Connect a compatible Solana wallet, such as Phantom.
• Choose Solana as the blockchain network.
• Start swapping SOL and other Solana-based tokens directly.

This integration makes Uniswap one of the first major multi-chain decentralized exchanges to support both EVM and non-EVM networks natively.

A Step Toward Unified DeFi

Uniswap’s move addresses one of DeFi’s biggest technical challenges: ecosystem fragmentation.

Ethereum and Solana have historically operated as separate universes, each with distinct wallets, interfaces, and liquidity pools. For users, this meant constantly switching between applications or relying on bridges — often a slow and risky process.

Now, Uniswap users can access over 15 different networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Unichain, and Base, through a single platform.

This simplifies cross-chain activity, reduces transaction complexity, and improves liquidity efficiency.

DeFi Shifts Toward Aggregation

Uniswap’s expansion comes as the DeFi sector moves toward aggregated trading — where decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and aggregators become the default trading platforms.

Earlier this month, 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz said that centralized exchanges will likely become front ends for decentralized liquidity providers within the next decade.

Uniswap’s recent milestones support this view. In May 2025, the exchange became the first DEX to process $3 trillion in total trading volume, further cementing its role as the core liquidity hub in DeFi.

With Solana integration and Unichain expansion, Uniswap continues to build toward an ecosystem where liquidity, not infrastructure, defines user experience.

Conclusion

Uniswap’s expansion to Solana represents a practical step toward reducing fragmentation in decentralized finance. It enables traders to access Solana’s liquidity directly from the Uniswap Web App without using external tools or bridges.

Through Jupiter’s routing, Unichain connectivity, and platform-agnostic architecture, Uniswap is evolving into a cross-chain hub for DeFi activity. The result is a faster, simpler, and more integrated user experience across major blockchain ecosystems.
