Jumper announced plans to launch a JUMP token sale through Legion as the company transitions to independent status. The platform, which has processed over $40 billion in lifetime volume and serves more than 100,000 monthly active users, is positioning itself as a super-app for onchain finance.
Originally incubated within LI.FI, Jumper will operate as a standalone venture with its own capital, leadership, and roadmap. The two companies will focus on different layers of the onchain ecosystem, with LI.FI handling orchestration infrastructure and Jumper serving as the consumer application.
Expanding Beyond Bridging
Jumper holds the number-one position by bridging volume with more than 15% market share. The platform has expanded into advanced trading features and real-world assets, with Jumper Perps—an aggregated perpetual futures trading experience—scheduled to launch in coming weeks.
According to CEO Marko Jurina, the company aims to consolidate multiple financial activities in a single application. "As more financial assets move onchain, the opportunity gets much bigger than bridging," Jurina said. "We want Jumper to become the application users open whenever they want to trade, invest, or move value onchain."
Token-First Ownership Structure
Proceeds from the token sale will support product development, user acquisition, and distribution. The JUMP token is planned to launch separately following the fundraising process.
Jumper is not conducting a separate equity financing round, a deliberate decision to align stakeholders. Users, contributors, and investors will hold the same asset. "There shouldn't be one group holding equity and another group holding a token," Jurina stated, noting that this represents a shift toward token-first ownership models in the industry.
