Houdini Swap Brings Privacy to Jumper.

June 17, 2026

Starting today, anyone using Jumper can swap and bridge crypto privately, powered by Houdini Swap. A private cross-chain swap on Jumper moves your assets across chains without leaving a public on-chain link between the wallet you sent from and the wallet you received to. Same Jumper interface you already use. One new option: privacy.

This is what privacy belonging everywhere people transact actually looks like. Not a separate app you have to go find, not a new wallet, not a compromise on the chains and tokens you already use. Just privacy, available right where the swapping and bridging already happen.

What is live on Jumper today

Two things, starting now:

  • Private swaps: swap over 4,000 supported token for another with no public on-chain link between sender and receiver.
  • Private bridging: move assets across chains without creating a permanent, traceable connection between your wallets on either side.

Both run on Jumper powered by Houdini Swap. You choose the private option, and the swap or bridge completes the way you are used to, with the privacy handled in the route.

Why this matters

Jumper is one of the largest cross-chain interfaces in crypto, with more than $20 billion in cumulative bridge volume and more than $10 billion in swaps across over 60 chains. That is a lot of people moving a lot of value across a lot of networks, every day, in full public view.

Every one of those swaps and bridges, by default, leaves a permanent record anyone can read: which wallets, how much, how often, connected to everything else those wallets have ever touched. Bringing private swaps and bridging into a platform at Jumper's scale means privacy stops being the thing you go somewhere else for. It is built into the place you already transact.

That is the whole point. Privacy should not be a detour. It should be a standard option wherever value moves.

How a private cross-chain swap works on Jumper

A private swap or bridge routes your funds through two separate compliant exchange partners, with a random intermediary chain between them. Each partner sees only its half of the route, so the on-chain link between the sending and receiving wallets is fully broken. Houdini never takes custody of your funds at any point in the process.

The result is simple: the funds arrive, and there is no public trail connecting where they started to where they ended.

Is it private and compliant at the same time?

Yes, and the distinction is worth being precise about. Privacy here does not mean evading the rules. Every private swap and bridge runs through vetted exchange partners that perform AML and KYT screening, private transactions are capped at $100K, and Houdini is non-custodial.

There is no pre-built database and no back door sitting open into your activity. If a lawful investigation is ever opened, the exchange partners in the route cooperate with legal authorities the same as any regulated exchange would. That cooperation is triggered by an actual investigation, not by a standing window that exists by default. The privacy is from the public, not from due process.

The track record behind it: nearly $3 billion in volume processed across 120+ chains with zero user funds lost, and three separate $50K bounties that challenged anyone to trace a transaction. None were collected.

What you can do with it

  • Move between your own wallets or fund a new wallet without drawing a public map of everything you hold.
  • Bridge into a new chain without linking that fresh wallet back to your main one.
  • Swap without broadcasting your position to the copy traders and bots watching the chain.

FAQ

What is a private swap on Jumper?
A private swap on Jumper routes your trade through Houdini Swap so there is no public on-chain link between the wallet you send from and the wallet you receive to. You use the normal Jumper interface and select the private option.

How does private bridging on Jumper work?
Private bridging moves your assets to the destination chain without creating a traceable on-chain connection between your source and destination wallets. It routes through compliant exchange partners rather than a pooled bridge contract.

Is private swapping on Jumper anonymous or just hidden?
The public on-chain link between sender and receiver is fully broken, so the route cannot be reconstructed on a block explorer. Compliance is preserved at the exchange layer through AML and KYT screening, so this is privacy from public observers, not a way around regulation.

Do I need a new wallet or account to use it?
No. You use Jumper the way you already do. The private option is built into the existing swap and bridge flow.

Is it custodial?
No. Houdini is non-custodial and never holds your funds during the route.

The integration launches with private swaps and bridging. It is a starting point for making privacy a standard option wherever people move value, not the end of one.
