What are the alternatives to Uniswap?
Sato Hub lists 10 alternatives to Uniswap in the Trading Tool category as of 2026-09-13; highest Sato Scores: dYdX (83), Hyperliquid (76), 1inch (75); 7 open source; 5 with an install Sato Hub reproduced. Ordered by how open, active and verifiable each one is — not by quality, and no winner is declared.
Rule · Every listing in Uniswap’s own category (Trading Tool) that carries a Sato Score, ordered by score tier, observed liveness, deploy-spec and reproduced-install evidence, and chain overlap with Uniswap.
This page ranks peers on how open, active and verifiable each one is — the same evidence Sato Hub publishes everywhere else. It is not a quality, safety or performance ranking, it declares no winner, and it cannot tell you which of these fits your codebase. A Sato Score is not an audit: none of these has been security-reviewed by Sato Hub, and a listing with no earned verification is self-reported.

“Differs on” is derived from the records — type, chains, openness and deployment — and states a difference, never a preference. ✓ marks an earned state named as what was checked; none of them is a safety claim.
Questions about alternatives to Uniswap
- What are the alternatives to Uniswap?
- dYdX, Hyperliquid, 1inch, CloddsBot, Raydium, Jupiter, Drift Protocol, Orca, Usenami Funding MCP, Lighter MCP are listed in the same category as Uniswap (Trading Tool), as of 2026-09-13. The order is Sato Score and observed evidence, not a quality judgment.
- Which alternatives to Uniswap are open source?
- 7 of 10: dYdX, CloddsBot, Raydium, Drift Protocol, Orca, Usenami Funding MCP, Lighter MCP. Openness is read from each project's own published license or repository.
- Which alternatives run on the same chains as Uniswap?
- 6: dYdX, Hyperliquid, 1inch, CloddsBot, Usenami Funding MCP, Lighter MCP. Chain support is self-declared by each project unless a named check says otherwise on its listing.
- Has Sato Hub verified any of these?
- Sato Hub reproduced the documented install for 5 of them: Raydium, Jupiter, Drift Protocol, Usenami Funding MCP, Lighter MCP. Reproducing an install means the documented setup was actually run — it is not a security review, and Sato Hub holds no security assessment of any of these.
- How is this list of alternatives built?
- It is a rule over live records, not a hand-written list: every listing in Uniswap's own category that carries a Sato Score, ordered by the same evidence the rest of the site ranks on — Sato Score tier, whether an endpoint answered our probe, whether a deploy spec exists and was reproduced, a sustained observed record, and chain overlap with Uniswap. It is rebuilt from the records, so it changes when they do.
