Jumper announced JUMP token sale on Legion, spinning out from LI.FI

Jumper announced its first JUMP token sale via Legion and its transition into an independent company. The application reports more than $40 billion in lifetime volume, over 100,000 monthly active users, and the highest market share in bridging volume at over 15%. The company plans to expand from bridging into a broad onchain finance platform: swapping, bridging, perpetual futures trading, tokenized stocks and other real-world assets, and yield opportunities.

Company Transition and Strategy

Jumper was incubated within LI.FI and will become a standalone venture with dedicated capital, leadership, and roadmap. LI.FI will focus on orchestration infrastructure. Jumper will operate as a consumer application that consolidates onchain trading and asset movement.

Products and Roadmap

The next launch: Jumper Perps. It will aggregate perpetual futures venues into one trading interface and is scheduled to go live in the coming weeks. Each product aims to add volume and revenue while centralizing user activity within a single application.

Token Sale and Ownership Model

The Legion sale marks Jumper’s first capital raise. Proceeds will fund product development, user acquisition, and distribution. The JUMP token will launch after the fundraising process. Jumper will not conduct a separate equity round: users, contributors, and investors will hold the same asset through the token. The company states that token-first ownership is intended to align value creation with tokenholders.

Statements

Bridging was the starting point for Jumper, and we’ve grown into the #1 aggregator by bridging volume with more than 15% market share. As more financial assets move onchain, the opportunity gets much bigger than bridging. We want Jumper to become the application users open whenever they want to trade, invest, or move value onchain.

— Marko Jurina, CEO of Jumper

We believe the token should be the only way to have ownership and exposure to the value being created by Jumper. There shouldn’t be one group holding equity and another group holding a token. JUMP is intended to be the only way users, contributors, and investors participate in Jumper’s growth, so the value created by Jumper is aligned with tokenholders.

Getting here has meant pushing against incumbent processes that treat the token as separate from the underlying business. If crypto is serious about new forms of ownership, the people who use, support, and build these businesses should be able to participate directly in the value they help create. We believe token-first ownership should become an industry standard, and we want to help lead that change.
