Jumper

Jumper, long known as Jumper Exchange, is a crypto app that moves tokens from one blockchain to another. It is an aggregator. It checks many bridges and swap venues at once and shows you the best route, across Solana and dozens of other chains.

Jumper began in 2023 as the consumer app of LI.FI, a routing company based in Berlin. In September 2026 it said it would split off as its own company. It then sold its first token, JUMP, on the Legion launchpad. The app now lives at jumper.xyz, and the old jumper.exchange address sends you there.

How Jumper's bridge and swap aggregator works

Jumper does not run a bridge or hold a liquidity pool. It asks LI.FI's routing engine for quotes, then shows you the routes side by side. You pick one, sign in your own wallet, and the route runs through the third-party bridge and DEX contracts it names.

In practice a single request can hide several steps. Say you hold USDT on Arbitrum and want SOL on Solana. Jumper may swap USDT to USDC on Arbitrum, bridge the USDC to Solana, then swap it to SOL on arrival. You approve it as one flow and see one "amount received" figure.

That figure is the number to compare. Routes differ in bridge fee, price impact and speed, and the cheapest-looking fee is often not the route that delivers the most tokens. LI.FI's material from June 2026 describes the engine as covering 20+ bridges and 30+ DEXs and DEX aggregators across 60+ chains.

Does Jumper support Solana? Bridges, DEXs and wallets

Yes. Jumper supports Solana for swaps inside Solana and for bridging in and out. Solana routes come from LI.FI, whose Solana documentation lists 12 bridges and four swap aggregators for the chain.

The swap side routes through Jupiter JUP$0.315+2.7%, DFlow, Titan and OKX. Those aggregators in turn reach Solana DEXs such as Raydium, Orca and Meteora. The bridge list includes four Mayan Finance routes (Swift, CCTP, fastMCTP and Wormhole-based), Allbridge ABR$0.025+0.0%, Relay Protocol, Across Protocol, Chainflip and Near Intents. Phantom CASH$0.9990.0% and Backpack are among the supported Solana wallets.

Two details matter if you are arriving on Solana with nothing in your wallet. LI.FI says relayer fees on Solana routes can be paid in the token you are sending, so you do not need SOL first. Its Allbridge route can also deliver a small amount of destination gas alongside the transfer.

Support for a chain does not mean every token is well served. For a smaller Solana token, quote your exact pair before assuming a good route exists.

Jumper fees: what a cross-chain swap costs

For most of its life Jumper charged no fee of its own. You paid network gas, the bridge's fee and the DEX's fee. Reviews from mid-2026, such as Milk Road's, still describe it that way.

That looks set to change with the split from LI.FI. In late September 2026, Foresight News' analysis of the JUMP sale reported that Jumper plans to trial a small fee on spot swaps from October 2026: about 0.025% of the trade. On a $10,000 swap that is about $2.50. Sale coverage also lists fee discounts as a proposed use for the JUMP token.

We could not confirm from Jumper's own pages whether the trial has started. The route quote shows every cost before you sign, so read it there. The third-party costs are usually larger than any Jumper fee. Eco's guide puts bridge fees at up to 0.3% of the trade.

Jumper Earn, Portfolio, private swaps and Perps

Jumper is now more than a bridge screen. Jumper Earn and Jumper Portfolio launched in January 2026. Private swaps and Jumper Perps, for trading perpetual futures, were announced later in the year.

Jumper Earn helps you find yield. It scans the wallets you connect, spots coins sitting idle and suggests where to put them. LI.FI's write-up from May 2026 counts more than 115 options from 15 protocols, such as Aave, Morpho and Lido. You can deposit from any chain in one step. The protocols it names run on Ethereum-style chains, and we found no Solana yield venue among them. Jumper Portfolio shows what you hold across chains in one view.

Private mode comes from Houdini Swap, a privacy-focused swap service owned by SOL Strategies. SOL Strategies announced the tie-up in June 2026. It covers swaps, bridging and receiving funds. Jumper's site now shows a Private tab beside Swap & Bridge.

Jumper Perps will pull several perpetual futures venues into one trading screen. The spin-out announcement of 25 September 2026 said it was due "in the coming weeks". Coverage of the sale also describes Jumper Advanced, with limit orders, and access to tokenized stocks. Treat anything you cannot yet see in the app as a plan.

JUMP token and airdrop: the Legion sale and Loyalty Pass XP

Jumper had no token until 2026. Its first sale of JUMP ran on Legion from 29 September to 2 October 2026. The token itself had not been issued by 6 October 2026. Reports from the sale expect it to launch in the last three months of 2026.

Odaily and Foresight News report the same terms. There will be 1 billion JUMP. The public sale covered 4% of them at $0.075 each, which values the whole supply at $75 million. Half of a buyer's tokens unlock at launch and the rest over the next four months.

About a third of the supply is set aside for the community. Jumper has not said how it will hand that share out, so no airdrop is confirmed. Jumper's Loyalty Pass gives you XP for swaps, bridging and campaigns. A higher XP level gave priority in the Legion sale, and that is the only reward XP has earned so far.

The sale was capped at $3 million and drew far more in pledges, so Legion decided who got how much. It was closed to residents of the United States, the United Kingdom and several other countries, according to crypto.news.

Chief executive Marko Jurina said JUMP is meant to be the only way to share in Jumper's growth, with no separate sale of company shares. Odaily's reading of the terms is that JUMP gives holders no ownership or revenue rights.

Is Jumper safe and legit? Audits, the 2024 exploit and custody

Jumper is a real product with a long record. It had handled more than $40 billion in swaps and transfers by September 2026, by its own count. It never holds your funds: you sign each step in your own wallet. It has also been hit by a serious hack, and each route carries the risk of the bridge it uses.

On 16 July 2024 an attacker took about $11.6 million from 153 wallets on Ethereum and Arbitrum. LI.FI's incident report says a newly added piece of its contract lacked a safety check that the other pieces had. It blames human error when the piece was deployed. Only wallets that had given the LI.FI contract unlimited permission to spend a token were hit. LI.FI switched the faulty piece off and said it would fully repay the people affected. Revoke.cash notes it was the second hack of this kind at LI.FI, after a smaller one in 2022.

So when you use Jumper, approve only the amount you are sending, and cancel old approvals.

Spearbit, Quantstamp and Code4rena have audited LI.FI's contracts. LI.FI also offers a bug bounty of up to $1 million through Cantina, per its security page. Those audits cover LI.FI's contracts on Ethereum-style chains. We found no audit of Jumper as its own company. We also found no public statement of who can change the LI.FI contracts. The 2024 loss came through a piece added after earlier audits, and that risk remains while new pieces can be added.

Three more things to weigh:

• Jumper froze its public website code in July 2026 and moved the work to a private store, according to its GitHub notice. You can no longer read the code the site runs.
• Fake sites and fake tokens are common. Tokens named JUMP already trade on Solana launchpads. None of them is Jumper's token, which has not launched.
• A route with several steps can stall between chains. You can usually get the funds back, but it may take time and a support ticket.

Who Jumper is for

Jumper suits you if you move funds between Solana and EVM chains often enough that comparing routes by hand is a chore. The clearest case is stablecoins or SOL in amounts from a few hundred dollars up, where a better route saves more than the fixed fees cost.

It is a weaker fit in three cases. For swaps that stay on Solana, Jumper routes through aggregators you can use directly. For very small transfers, fixed bridge fees and gas eat most of the amount whichever route wins. For very large transfers, you may prefer to choose one bridge whose security model you have read, instead of taking whichever route quotes best.

Jumper alternatives: Bungee, Relay, deBridge and Rango

The closest match is Bungee, which also compares bridges for you. For a large transfer it is worth getting a quote from both. Relay and Across are single bridges that are fast on the routes they cover, and Jumper already includes both in its own list. deBridge is a separate bridge and swap service that works with Solana. Rango is another route finder with wide reach beyond Ethereum-style chains.

Jumper does not own its routing engine. Wallets and apps that plug into LI.FI can show you the same routes. Foresight News called that a business risk once Jumper adds a fee of its own.

LI.FI spin-off, team and funding

Jumper grew up inside LI.FI. On 25 September 2026 it said it would become a separate company with its own money, leaders and plans. Marko Jurina is chief executive. Under the split, LI.FI sells routing tools to other businesses and Jumper is the app for everyday users. Jumper still gets its routes from LI.FI.

The Legion sale was the first money Jumper raised in its own name. LI.FI has raised about $52 million in total, most recently in a December 2025 round led by Multicoin and CoinFund, The Block reported. Foresight News reports that LI.FI's shareholders received locked JUMP in the split, about a quarter of the supply.
