Solada Partners With GeroWallet: Solada Markets Runs on the Gero Swap Engine
Solada and GeroWallet are now partners. Solada Markets uses the same swap engine and market data that power swaps inside GeroWallet.

TL;DR: Solada, the Cardano coin launchpad at solada.fun, is now an official GeroWallet partner. Its new Solada Markets page runs on the same swap engine you use inside GeroWallet: trades are routed across Cardano exchanges for the best price, with market, limit, stop and OCO orders, and live prices and charts come from Nexus, the data platform built by the GeroWallet team.

Solada and GeroWallet are partnering, announced on 2 November 2026 alongside Solada's V3 release. The short version: Solada Markets, the trading page inside solada.fun, is powered by the Gero swap engine and by Nexus, the infrastructure that A.D. Labs (the team behind GeroWallet) has built for Cardano. If you have ever swapped a token inside GeroWallet, you already know the engine that now sits behind every swap on Solada Markets.

What is Solada?

Solada is a Cardano coin launchpad. Anyone with a Cardano wallet can launch a coin, and every coin launched there has holder rewards built in. Part of each coin's trading fees goes back to the people who hold it, paid in ADA or in another Cardano token the launcher picks. Solada also buys back and burns its own token, SOLADA, every day, and it publishes its wallets, ledgers and reserves on public transparency and proof pages.

The project describes its goal in four words: make Cardano fun again. Its token launched in October 2026, and on 2 November 2026 Solada shipped V3, which its team calls its biggest update yet.

What the partnership means

Solada Markets is the part of solada.fun where you trade tokens that already live on Cardano exchanges, not just coins launched on Solada. That page runs on two pieces of GeroWallet infrastructure:

  • The Gero swap engine. The same swap widget that powers swaps inside GeroWallet is embedded in Solada Markets. When you place a trade there, Gero routes it across Cardano decentralized exchanges to find the best price, and you review the quote before you sign.
  • Nexus market data. Prices, charts and trending tokens on Solada Markets come from Nexus, the Cardano data platform built by the GeroWallet team. Nexus also lists Solada launchpad tokens natively, so coins launched on Solada show up with live prices, and graduated coins are tracked from the moment their pool is created.

In Solada's own words, Nexus is "the engine behind Solada Markets."

Why Solada chose GeroWallet

Solada's team explained the decision in their announcement. For them, any partnership comes down to three things:

  • Trust. Solada says its entire team is fully doxxed and that accountability matters to them, so they want partners who share their values as well as their vision.
  • Execution. "Ideas are a dime a dozen." They look for teams that deliver, keep improving and keep showing up when the market gets tough.
  • Strategic alignment. The right partnership should make both projects stronger and build something useful for the people using them.

After several calls with Adam Cazes, co-founder of A.D. Labs, Solada called partnering with GeroWallet "a no-brainer." As they put it: "Adam and his team have been building on Cardano since 2021. Today, that work includes Nexus, the engine behind Solada Markets."

That matches how we like to work. GeroWallet's source code is public under the Apache 2.0 licence, as we explained when we opened up the wallet's code, and we would rather show results than make promises. Building the tools that other Cardano teams rely on is part of that.

The swap engine Solada Markets shares with GeroWallet

Nothing about the engine is new to GeroWallet users. It is the built-in swap in GeroWallet, now serving a second front end. Here is what it does for anyone trading on Cardano.

Best-price routing across Cardano DEXes

A swap aggregator compares liquidity across several decentralized exchanges and sends your trade where you get the most tokens back. Gero's aggregator auto-routes across Minswap, WingRiders, SundaeSwap and Splash pools, so you don't have to check each exchange yourself. If you want the background, our guide on how a swap aggregator finds better rates walks through it.

Limit, stop and OCO orders

A market swap fills right away at the best available price. Sometimes you want to wait for your price instead. Solada Markets shows Market, Limit, Stop and OCO tabs, and in GeroWallet these order types work on supported pairs across Splash, WingRiders and Minswap. Our Cardano limit order guide explains each one and when a pair supports it.

You sign every trade

The swap engine builds the transaction, but it never holds your funds or your keys. Every swap is shown to you first, with its fees, and nothing happens until you approve it in your own wallet. That is the same rule GeroWallet follows everywhere: it is a non-custodial Cardano wallet with built-in swaps, so your recovery phrase and private keys stay with you.

One note for clarity: the routing above covers Solada Markets swaps. Launching a coin, the bonding curve and Solada's reward system are Solada's own products, run by the Solada team and described on their transparency pages.

How to try it

Step 1: Visit Solada Markets. Open solada.fun and choose Markets to see trending Cardano tokens with live prices and charts.

Step 2: Connect your Cardano wallet. Use the Connect Wallet button and pick your wallet.

Step 3: Pick a token and review the quote. Choose what you are selling and buying, then check the route, the price and every fee before you continue.

Step 4: Sign in your wallet. Approve the transaction in your wallet. The trade only goes through after you sign.

Prefer to trade from your wallet directly? The same engine lives in GeroWallet's Swap tab. Install GeroWallet and you can swap, place limit orders and track your tokens without leaving the extension.

What comes next

Solada says it is building SOLADA for the long haul, with more investment in the technology and the relationships that make the Cardano experience better. We feel the same way. More builders working together means more reasons to use Cardano, and every new team that runs on Gero and Nexus makes the engine better for everyone, GeroWallet users included.
