Jumper is crypto’s everything-exchange powered by LI.FI. By building on the sophisticated cross-chain infrastructure of LI.FI, we offer a comprehensive multi-chain experience for any and every person in crypto to move and use their funds across chains as easily and flexibly as they desire.

Our vision? We want to make multi-chain DeFi easy and fun!

While we live under LI.FI’s umbrella, we pride ourselves in our small but excellent and very agile team. Jumper already has over 150k active users, and still we are only now getting started to build it from the ground up – as an independent spin-off from LI.FI.
