Uniswap‘s support for Solana on its web app is a key strategic move to drive growth for its own layer-2 network, Unichain.
According to Uniswap’s engineering lead, Danny Daniil, the Solana integration will help “bridge assets from Solana and other ecosystems to Unichain,” allowing traders to find the best liquidity across chains.
By onboarding Solana users, Uniswap aims to funnel them and their assets toward its native chain. The integration, which leverages Jupiter for routing, effectively uses Solana’s $140 billion ecosystem as a user-acquisition channel, positioning Unichain as a central hub for cross-chain trading.
