LI.FI is redefining what transactions can be in DeFi. Today, we’re unveiling LI.FI Deposit, a native deposit transaction flow for the crypto industry - a new type of transaction that didn’t exist until now.

Deposits in DeFi have always been a complex, multi-step process. Users needed to execute swaps, approvals, bridges, and multiple protocol interactions, often across chains. This complexity caused friction, drop-offs, and slow adoption.

LI.FI Deposit changes all of that. For the first time, deposits are a first-class transaction type, treated like swaps or bridging. Users can move assets into any deposit contract in a single transaction, from anywhere.

By turning deposits into a native, composable primitive, LI.FI Deposit unlocks entirely new possibilities: developers can build user-friendly products for modern finance, and users can onboard and deploy capital with one click, into any market, anywhere in DeFi.

Key Principles Behind LI.FI Deposit

• Native Transaction Type – Deposit is now a first-class primitive, like swap or bridge.

• One-Click Execution – Multi-step flows are executed as a single transaction.

• Cross-Chain Composability – Works across multiple chains without additional approvals and removes the complexity of gas tokens.

• Protocol and Chain Agnostic – Supports vaults, escrow-style contracts, and protocol-specific deposit modules on any chain.

• Foundation for Onboarding – Ready to extend to CEX, bank accounts, and fiat onramps.

Deposit, Built for the Real World

LI.FI Deposit is powered by LI.FI Composer, a transaction orchestration primitive that lets developers compose multi-step, multi-chain DeFi workflows and execute them as a single transaction.Composer makes it possible to treat deposits as a native, composable transaction type, giving developers a building block that can scale across chains and protocols.

Working closely with our design partners, we found that the deposit workflow was repeatedly cited as a point of friction. Users struggled to navigate multi-step flows, leading to failed transactions and lost liquidity. LI.FI Deposit collapses this entire process into one click, letting users deposit from anywhere with confidence.

Deposit, From Anywhere

LI.FI Deposit establishes the foundation for onboarding from anywhere. Over time, users will be able to deposit:

• From any chain

• From centralized exchanges

• From bank accounts

• Using fiat onramps

All these flows transform into a single deposit transaction, handled seamlessly by LI.FI Composer. Developers no longer need to design app-specific hacks to make deposits simple. Deposit is now a native primitive in DeFi.

LI.FI Deposit: One Click Deposits. From Anywhere.

LI.FI Deposit is already live on Jumper Earn, one of our early design partners.

We’re actively looking for builders designing vaults, escrow-style contracts, or other deposit modules who want to leverage LI.FI Deposit to unlock one-click deposits, from anywhere.
