The decentralized exchange Uniswap
$477.08M
has updated its web platform to include support for the Solana
$183.22
blockchain, according to a blog post published on October 16.
This allows users to connect their Solana wallets and exchange tokens built on Solana in the same interface where they already trade assets from other blockchains.
Instead of processing Solana trades internally, the Uniswap app uses Jupiter

, a tool that searches for the best trading options across Solana-based exchanges.

According to Jupiter’s co-founder, SIONG, Uniswap is the first large project to adopt Jupiter’s new Ultra API, which helps carry out these trades efficiently.
The decision to add Solana access follows a high activity on that network. In September, Solana-based decentralized exchanges handled around $140 billion in total trading volume. Of that, Jupiter brought in roughly $17.5 million in earnings through its services.
Uniswap developers stated that the integration with Solana was not built just for that blockchain. Instead, the team developed system tools that can support other blockchains.
Uniswap has also said it is looking into expanding features for Solana users. This includes potential tools like cross-chain token swaps, asset bridging, and full support for Solana in the Uniswap Wallet app.
