Uniswap added direct support for Solana, so users can trade Solana tokens inside the same Uniswap web page they already know. They no longer need separate bridge tools, as the change links two previously separate liquidity pools and matters to traders, liquidity suppliers and app builders. This expansion brings Solana activity into Uniswap’s interface for the first time.
This is the first time Uniswap leaves the Ethereum-only world. The site plugs into the Jupiter API, which lists more than one million Solana tokens, and it accepts Phantom wallet connections.
Costs and speed change the economics of small trades. A swap on Solana costs about $0.001, while the same trade on Ethereum runs $2 – $10; Solana also claims 65.000 transactions per second.
Uniswap Labs frames Solana as a better scaling path. Hayden Adams says Solana delivers “better roadmap, team but also approach” for scaling a base layer, with the goal to pull in new users, fill fresh pools and stop volume from leaking to faster rivals.
The release builds on recent milestones. It follows Uniswap v4 (January 2025) as well as the ERC-7683 cross chain standard; the firm has cleared $3 trillion in lifetime trades and still handles 30 – 40 % of all Ethereum DEX volume, while a long running SEC probe ended in February 2025 with no charges.
What changes and what to watch
Direct Solana support alters costs, liquidity flows and system dependencies. The integration adds external components while making everyday swaps cheaper and broadening token access.
The latest launch, has made small trades significantly more affordable—bringing transaction costs down to just $0.001 per swap. This dramatic cost reduction opens the door for everyday users to participate more actively in on-chain activity. With a claimed throughput of 65,000 transactions per second (TPS), the platform is positioning itself as a serious contender in the high-performance blockchain space.
At the core of this new system are the Jupiter API and Phantom wallet, which together enable fast and low-cost swaps. However, the system’s heavy reliance on Jupiter’s API and bridge software presents a potential point of failure; if either goes down, all trade activity could come to a standstill. This dependency underscores the need for robust infrastructure and redundancy in decentralized systems.
The developments have sparked competitive pressure across the ecosystem, particularly for Ethereum and its layer-2 networks. As liquidity potentially shifts toward Solana, driven by cost and speed advantages, Ethereum-based solutions may be forced to accelerate efforts to reduce fees and improve performance.
Uniswap’s move brings Solana swaps into a familiar interface with lower costs and broader reach. The practical impact will depend on user uptake, liquidity migration between chains and the resilience of the new dependencies.
