LI.FI Recap: What Happened Last Month❓
Our Stance on Uniswap’s forum 🗒
The Discussion on the Uniswap forum this past month was critical for the multi-chain ecosystem in 2023 and for the ecosystem going forward.
Our founder weighed in on the discussion below:

New Integrations & Partnerships ⚙️
With the integration, Avault users can use any assets seamlessly across the 15+ chains supported by LI.FI to deposit into any dapps in one click.
Welcome to the future. Your fiat can now be used to directly purchase L2 tokens. No bridging. No swapping. One transaction. And it’s all thanks to Kado.
With our cutting-edge technology, seamless transactions are just a click away.
The integration allows our users to quickly and securely exchange a wide range of assets on the Fantom network
Dev Update 👷♂️👷♀️
A New Bridging Experience is Brewing — Introducing Jumper Exchange 🥁
Say 👋 to Jumper Exchange 🎉
We’ve been hard at work to bring you a fresh new UI and features to give you the ultimate bridging experience.
Not only did we improve the UI but we’ve introduced new product features such as the ability to refuel on gas on your destination chain 👏
Here are some early Jumper Stats 💯
- Our Jumper Twitter has grown to 50K+ followers strong! 💪
- We’ve had 100k+ early wallet signups, and those whitelisted users have made the jump into testing our new UI/UX 😏
Soon you too will be able to make the jump on March 01 when Jumper becomes available to the public 🥳
We have completed our third audit 🔐
With the Spearbit audit completed, LI.FI smart contracts have now been audited three times.
1 Spearbit (November 2022)
2 Quantstamp (May 2022)
3 Code4rena (March 2022)
LI.FI utilized for 90%+ of MetaMask’s bridging transactions
90%+ of MetaMask’s bridge volume goes through LI.FI as a result of LI.FI offering better prices, more gas efficiency, and fewer failing tx’s.
Focus wins & we’re glad to be powering MetaMasks bridging solutions.
Marketing Mania! 🎉
