Jumper: Crypto’s Everything Exchange
Using crypto sucks, long live crypto!

Introduction

Since long before the inception of jumper.exchange, we have already been true believers in a vision where crypto, more specifically DeFi, is seamlessly integrated into mainstream use. While we believe in the potential of cryptocurrency

(long live crypto)

, we also recognize that current solutions fall short for many users

(using crypto sucks)

.

Today, 1 year after the birth of Jumper, this is still our raison d'etre - our reason for being - we want to make navigating the complex world of multichain DeFi as easy as possible: Crypto’s Everything Exchange.

Jumper lets you swap any token on any chain to any other token on any other chain, using any bridge,any DEX or any Solver.

As we said, it is “Crypto’s Everything Exchange”.

The Problem Jumper Solves

Crypto is multi-chain and difficult to navigate.

The DeFi landscape is increasingly fragmented, with multiple investment opportunities scattered across various blockchains. For users, this fragmentation means navigating Ethereum, alt-L1s, L2s, and app-chains, each of which operates in isolation. This lack of direct communication between blockchains has led to the creation of numerous cross-chain bridges, designed to move tokens and data between chains. However, these bridges often support a limited range of tokens, necessitating the use of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or Solvers to swap tokens at both the source and destination.

The result? A cumbersome, treacherous journey filled with sketchy websites, illiquid tokens, and frustrating searches. For users seeking the best yield and reward opportunities, keeping track of everything has become a nearly full-time job.

Here’s an example look of what a non-Jumper user may have to do to compare routes, bridge, and swap MATIC on Polygon to AVAX on Avalanche (

and remember, each step is a new website

):

As you can see, cross-chain transfers are hard! Each bridge/DEX/Solver/chain combination comes with unique tradeoffs in terms of transaction time, cost, speed, security, and clicks.

This is difficult! Users should not need to understand the above transactions…

How does Jumper Work?

Jumper automatically recommends the most efficient route for any token combination, balancing security, speed, number of clicks, and cost. Each trade includes detailed information, such as:

  • estimated gas fees
  • estimated providerfees
  • price impact and slippage
  • name of bridge + DEX or Solver being used
  • number of clicks necessary
  • estimated time of tx
  • conversion rate between the 2 asstes

🙂

Jumper offers users the flexibility to optimize their bridging experience according to their preferences, whether they prioritize speed, cost, or security.

Wait there’s more!

We take our vision one step beyond the above described bridging and swapping functionality. Introducing: the Jumper Loyalty Pass. Our loyalty program designed to align incentives between the platform and its most important users.

Users on Jumper gain XP for their onchain actions performed via Jumper. Crucially, these XP are not only valuable on Jumper itself, instead they enable a whole new world of incentives across all of DeFi - both of social as well as economic nature.

As such, we want to use Loyalty Pass to reward our most active group of users with exclusive access to airdrops, better yield opportunities, exclusive perks, even IRL events! Everything with just a few clicks - directly in the Jumper UI.

It is truly our vision to create the place to be for
a community of the most successful Degens!
