Jumper currently has cumulative trading volume exceeding $40 billion, over 100,000 monthly active users, and a market share of more than 15% in cross-chain bridge transaction volume.Jumper stated that in the future it will expand from cross-chain aggregation to an on-chain finance super app, covering spot trading, cross-chain, perpetual contracts, tokenized stocks, and other RWA and yield products. Its perpetual contract product, Jumper Perps, is expected to launch in the coming weeks. This Legion token sale will be Jumper's first fundraising, with proceeds to be used for product development, user acquisition, and market expansion; the JUMP token is planned to be issued separately after the fundraising is completed, and the company will not conduct equity financing at the same time.
