gm, Junction Fam!

We did it. The Junction Beta is live.

It’s been a wild ride getting here - through swaps, feedback, memes, and referrals - and now we’re proud to bring you a smoother, faster, and more intuitive DeFi experience.

Whether you’ve been with us since day one or just landed at the junction, here’s everything that’s new (and what’s coming next). Let’s dive in.

What is Junction?

If you are new here, welcome aboard. Junction is your ultimate DeFi hub - a place to swap and explore across chains without the chaos.

We simplify everything so you don’t have to juggle wallets, guess which bridge to use, or jump between tabs that feel like puzzles.

From Bitcoin to Solana and so much more, we’re building the smoothest cross-chain experience. For you.

Junction app: Beta access

Here’s what’s live right now on the new beta:

  • Swap across 30+ chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, UTXOs, and more

  • Clean, updated UI that feels like DeFi should’ve always been this simple

  • Chains View + Token Search to make finding assets way easier

  • One-click wallet connection across ecosystems with Wallet Packages

  • Swap tracking with detailed provider, fee, and slippage info

And this is just the start - we’re already working on the next wave of improvements.

We’re still actively collecting feedback, so let us know what works, what doesn’t, and what you want next. This is your junction too. đŸ«¶
