Privy integrates Uniswap API to enable native swaps across its wallet stack. * Nicholet R. * Published: April 7, 2026 * 7:38 pm * Updated: April 7, 2026 * 7:39 pm Home > cryptocurrency news > Privy integrates Uniswap API to enable native swaps across its wallet stack. Table of Contents * Privy integrated the Uniswap API as its native swap provider, letting developers add in-wallet token exchanges without building separate swap logic. * The integration brings access to onchain and offchain liquidity, roughly 200-millisecond quotes, support for more than 10 million assets across 18 chains, and free API access. * Uniswap framed the deal as a step toward making swaps standard wallet infrastructure for payments, remittances, and broader onchain applications. Privy has integrated the Uniswap API as the native swap provider across its wallet infrastructure, turning token exchanges into a built-in capability rather than an external feature developers have to bolt on. The move gives teams building with Privy direct access to Uniswap liquidity from within the wallet layer, with no custom swap logic required. What changed here is not just a backend integration, but the operating model for app developers building onchain products. For payments, remittances, and transactional use cases, asset conversion can now happen exactly where the user journey already lives. Why the integration could matter beyond one wallet stack. The practical appeal starts with simplicity. Privy developers can now offer swaps inside their applications without stitching together separate routing systems, quote engines, or external liquidity tools. The routing is powered by the same Uniswap API used by MetaMask, Ledger, OKX, Fireblocks, Talos, Anchorage Digital, and other large platforms. That gives the integration immediate credibility because it plugs Privy into infrastructure battle-tested at institutional and retail scale. In other words, this is as much about reducing development friction as it is about improving user functionality. The second advantage is market depth and speed. Uniswap says the API provides access to both onchain and offchain liquidity, with efficient routing across the Uniswap Protocol and historically meaningful price improvement against the leading aggregator. The system also offers near-instant quotes, with routing speeds around 200 milliseconds and coverage spanning more than 10 million assets across 18 chains. The commercial pitch is clear: deeper liquidity, faster execution, and less engineering overhead in one package. That combination matters because wallet infrastructure is increasingly expected to do more than custody assets. It must also help users move between them efficiently. The broader significance is strategic. Uniswap says the API now gives Privy builders access to infrastructure with more than $4.3 trillion in cumulative volume across 18 chains and 10 million-plus assets, while also emphasizing a zero-hacks track record. Developers building outside Privy can also access the Developer Platform for free, with no subscription fees or per-call charges. The larger message is that swaps are becoming baseline wallet functionality, not a premium extra. As embedded finance and onchain applications mature, integrations like this suggest the wallet layer is evolving into a full execution layer.

Earn on balances with Privy. Connect idle balances to curated DeFi vaults through Privy to expand revenue opportunities from wallet assets. Henri Stern Mar 16, 2026 Today, Privy integrates DeFi vault access directly into its wallet infrastructure, making it easier for developers to connect application balances to onchain lending markets. From trading platforms to fintech apps, modern applications increasingly hold real value, often in the form of stablecoin balances. In many cases, those assets sit idle. Through DeFi vaults, onchain assets can be allocated into lending markets where borrowers pay interest to access liquidity. That interest accrues within the vault and increases the value of total deposits over time. Privy now makes it easy to connect these vaults directly to their applications. Instead of managing smart contracts, vault interactions, and protocol-specific integrations, teams can interact with vault infrastructure through simple API calls, like deposit and withdraw. With Privy: * Deposit assets into curated DeFi vaults * Withdraw liquidity when funds are needed * Query positions to display balances and accrued vault returns * Configure revenue sharing to expand revenue opportunities from vault integrations Privy simplifies the underlying onchain execution so teams can focus on building their product rather than maintaining DeFi integrations. Curated vault infrastructure by design. Privy unlocks access to DeFi through major providers like Morpho, Aave, and Kamino. Starting today, developers can access ERC-4626 vaults on the Morpho protocol, a leading non-custodial vault architecture for allocating capital into onchain lending markets. "Morpho vaults were built to be composable, transparent, and easily integrable with any application. Through them, we're excited to support Privy in bringing that infrastructure to an entirely new universe of developers, making it simple for any app to connect their users' balances to onchain lending markets and put idle capital to work at scale." - paul frambot, CEO and cofounder of Morpho. "As stablecoins become core infrastructure for modern financial applications, developers need seamless ways to connect application balances to open lending markets. We're excited to see Privy expanding access to DeFi vault infrastructure and look forward to supporting integrations with Aave." - stani kulechov, CEO of Aave labs. Privy integrates with this vault infrastructure so developers can connect to lending markets without managing protocol-specific integrations themselves. Vault strategies are curated by experienced risk managers, including Steakhouse Financial and Gauntlet, who help determine how capital is allocated across lending markets to balance risk and return. "Most apps holding stablecoins are leaving yield on the table. Lending markets are the most battle-tested way to generate onchain returns. Transparent rates, real borrower demand, no magic. Privy makes that accessible without teams having to build DeFi infrastructure from scratch." - adrian cachinero vasiljevic, co-founder of Steakhouse Financial. "Privy expands onchain yield to a new universe of financial applications. Idle capital embedded in a smart wallet can now be productive, helping apps retain users and compound value over time. Gauntlet's experience managing DeFi risk since 2018, with $1.8 billion+ in capital across 150+ fintech and institutional integrations, means Privy's customers get the benefits of onchain yield without the operational complexity." - matt dobel, vice president of revenue, Gauntlet. Privy enables applications to configure revenue sharing. As vault returns accrue, a configurable portion can be captured as vault shares in a designated wallet, enabling apps to collect fees generated through their platform. The Privy API, extended to tap into open finance. Privy lets you securely tap financial capabilities without building financial infrastructure from scratch. Privy is already working with a number of developers tapping this functionality, including: * Wallets managing onchain balances * Trading platforms allocating collateral * Marketplaces managing escrowed funds * AI agents deploying capital autonomously * Fintech apps building new savings experiences Explore the documentation or reach out to [email protected] to learn more about Privy's open financial rails for your app. Privy does not control DeFi vaults or underlying protocols.
