Company profile
researched Aug 2026LI.FI (li.fi) is a Berlin-based provider of cross-chain liquidity aggregation and orchestration infrastructure. It describes itself as a non-custodial, open-source protocol that connects decentralized liquidity across multiple blockchain ecosystems by aggregating third-party bridges and decentralized exchanges, so that developers can add multi-chain swap and bridging functionality to their applications through a single point of integration while users retain self-custody of assets [5][6].
The product is delivered as an API, an SDK and an embeddable trading widget, together with an enterprise platform layer that adds dedicated account management, SLAs, monitoring and analytics on user activity, trends and fees. LI.FI states that it connects to major DEX aggregators, bridges and intent systems — naming Uniswap, 1inch, Stargate and Across — and supports swapping and bridging across 60+ chains including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, BNB, Linea, Polygon, Bitcoin, Optimism, Avalanche, zkSync, Metis and Base [0]. The company also operates Jumper.Exchange, a multi-chain exchange interface launched around 2023 that lets users swap assets in one click [6].
At its 2023 Series A the company described itself as a multi-chain liquidity and data gateway spanning nearly 20 blockchains, and said it handled more than 96% of cross-chain swap activity on MetaMask within six months, per Dune data [6]. By late 2025 it reported 100+ employees, named customers including Robinhood, Binance, Kraken, MetaMask, Phantom, Ledger, Hyperliquid, Circle and Alipay, and stated plans to build infrastructure for AI agents and stablecoins plus an open intent and solver marketplace in Q1 2026 [5].
