Uniswap just took a bold step. For the first time ever, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) by trading volume is integrating a non-EVM blockchain, Solana. This is more than just a technical update. It’s a statement. Solana Now Live on Uniswap Web App The update came straight from Uniswap Labs via X: “Solana is now live on the Uniswap web app.” This means users can now connect Solana-compatible wallets like Phantom, and directly swap $SOL and other SPL tokens, all without leaving the familiar Uniswap interface. No bridge. No workarounds. It’s all native.

It’s Jupiter, Solana’s leading liquidity aggregator, that powers this setup. Jupiter aggregates liquidity across the Solana ecosystem, offering users deep books and efficient pricing. That makes swaps fast. And cheap. Jupiter also confirmed the news on X: “Uniswap has integrated Solana with Jupiter powering all swaps. Let’s go!” One interface, two stacks. Uniswap + Jupiter Ultra API are bringing Solana swaps to the Uniswap Web App. Surf through millions of SPL tokens and route across deep liquidity markets with the best optimized trade. https://t.co/SCoIafiD2Z pic.twitter.com/bzYu5L0lzy — Jupiter ( , ) (@JupiterExchange) October 16, 2025 Why This Matters This is big, not just for Uniswap or Solana, but for DeFi as a whole. Until now, Uniswap has been Ethereum-first. All other deployments, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, are EVM chains. They share similar infrastructure and tooling. Solana? Entirely different animal. Different language (Rust). Different architecture. Different wallet ecosystem. Different everything. So why go there? Uniswap Labs explained: “That kind of fragmentation makes DeFi harder than it should be. It adds friction for experienced swappers and raises the barrier for people just getting started.” In other words: Too many silos. Too much friction. Not enough unity. By bridging this divide, Uniswap is trying to unify DeFi, no matter the underlying tech. Real-Time: $UNI and $SOL at a Glance As of now, here’s where the tokens stand: $UNI is trading at $6.17, with a market cap of $3.89B, per CoinMarketCap. $SOL is trading at $183.96, with a market cap of $100.75B, per CoinMarketCap. Both tokens moved slightly on the news, but the long-term impact could be much bigger. What’s Next for Uniswap? This is just phase one. According to Uniswap Labs, next up is: Support for Solana in the Uniswap Wallet Cross-chain swaps Cross-chain bridges They’re not stopping at web app support. They want to bring seamless swapping between Ethereum and Solana, and eventually, all major chains. The future looks more multi-chain than ever. This move isn’t without risks. Solana is still recovering from past reliability issues. Outages, validator centralization debates, and the shadow of FTX’s collapse have all weighed on public perception. But lately, things are changing. Solana’s uptime has stabilized. Its transaction throughput remains unmatched, clocking over 2,000 TPS on average, with near-zero fees. And with Jupiter, Orca, and other DeFi protocols thriving, Solana’s ecosystem is once again a serious contender. Is This a DeFi Turning Point? It might be. Uniswap bridging to Solana could be the beginning of a cross-chain DeFi future where users don’t have to think about what chain they’re on. Just open the app, swap your token, and move on. No bridging. No wrapping. No new wallets. If Uniswap gets this right, it will solve one of crypto’s biggest UX headaches. This isn’t just another integration. It’s Uniswap stepping into uncharted territory. It’s the biggest Ethereum-native DEX reaching out to the most prominent non-EVM chain. If the experience holds up, it could mean: More liquidity flowing between Solana and Ethereum. More user onboarding from both sides. A better DeFi experience for everyone. The crypto space keeps evolving. And Uniswap just reminded us: it’s still leading from the front. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.
