Jumper Exchange Launches Upgraded Smart Routing Engine to Reduce Slippage and Fees

Jumper Exchange has launched an upgraded smart routing engine designed to reduce slippage and network fees for users swapping or bridging assets across multiple blockchain networks.

As decentralized finance has expanded across chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum, liquidity has become increasingly fragmented. Traders are often required to compare prices and execution routes across multiple decentralized exchanges and bridge protocols, a process that can result in sub-optimal execution and higher transaction costs. Jumper Exchange said the upgraded routing engine is intended to address this fragmentation by dynamically selecting efficient execution paths at the time of transaction confirmation.

According to the company, the routing engine continuously scans integrated decentralized exchanges and bridge protocols, simulating multiple combinations of pools and routes before a transaction is submitted on-chain. Rather than relying on a single venue, the system can split an order across multiple paths when doing so results in improved aggregate pricing, or avoid pools where limited liquidity would increase price impact.

The upgraded smart routing engine is available through the Jumper Exchange interface at www.jumper.exchange. The company said it plans to continue expanding routing support to additional blockchain networks and assets over time.

For users, routing decisions are handled in the background, while the interface presents a single quote that includes expected slippage and fees. In a typical cross-chain transaction—such as transferring assets from BNB Chain to Ethereum—the engine evaluates multiple route options and selects the path designed to deliver the most favorable effective rate when the transaction is executed.

“Retail and professional users alike are looking for consistency in execution rather than spending time comparing quotes from individual platforms,” said Jordan Neary, Marketing Lead at Jumper Exchange. “Our smart routing engine is built to focus on net outcome—the amount the user actually receives in their wallet after fees and gas—while keeping the experience as simple as a single click.”

Neary added that the upgraded routing system is also intended to make cross-chain trading more accessible for less experienced decentralized finance users. “Many people still see cross-chain swaps as complex or risky because there are so many protocols and bridges to navigate,” Neary said. “By abstracting that complexity away and clearly showing the route and expected output, we want to make it easier for users to feel comfortable moving liquidity wherever they need it.”

The routing logic is combined with additional platform features including support for multiple wallets, non-custodial swaps, and transparent route visualization. Users can review the proposed execution path before confirming a transaction, including the protocols and blockchain networks involved.

Security remains a central consideration for the platform. Jumper Exchange aggregates liquidity from established decentralized exchanges and bridge protocols and does not take custody of user funds at any stage. Assets move directly between user wallets and the underlying protocols throughout the transaction process.

The company also supports gasless transactions on select routes, reducing the need for users to maintain native token balances across multiple networks. For users evaluating options to bridge to Hyperliquid, the routing interface presents route details and expected outputs before execution, allowing users to assess execution paths in advance.
