Leap, developed by the Dialect team, is a new mobile app for Solana that offers retail users a more advanced trading experience, enabling trades in tokenized stocks, ETFs, metals, currencies, and crypto assets.
Boulder, Colorado, November 5 /PRNewswire/ — Leap, a mobile trading app focused on delivering informed and enhanced trading experiences, today announced the launch of its beta version. Leap integrates tokenized stocks, ETFs, metals, currencies, and crypto assets into a single platform, offering market context, streamlined execution, and precise profit and loss tracking. The app is currently available for early access on iOS.
The Solana blockchain is designed to be the network underlying the internet's capital markets. Leap is a front-end application built on this network, aiming to make on-chain markets accessible to everyone and delivering precise, high-quality trading experiences.
Different paths
Fast, short-term memecoin trading has helped many enter the on-chain world. Leap targets the next stage: those seeking to make more informed decisions and engage in long-term trading in the market.
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana Labs, said: “This network is ready for all kinds of markets. What’s important now are the products that help people use it better and keep them coming back. Every app that brings new users on-chain strengthens the entire ecosystem, and Leap is built for the long term.”
Collaboratively build with the Solana ecosystem
Leap is collaborating with teams across the Solana ecosystem to build a premier, fully on-chain trading experience. This includes Jupiter for trade routing, Helius for infrastructure, and Birdeye for market data, with more partners set to join in the future. As Leap grows, the company plans to give back to the network by repurchasing and burning SOL through future fee mechanisms and rewarding users who refer friends.
The team behind Leap
The Dialect team was acquired earlier this year to build Leap, a new initiative under Solana Labs. Dialect is best known for Solana Actions and Blinks—a protocol that transforms blockchain actions into shareable links—and the popular cashtags feature on X, both of which make cryptocurrency more accessible and user-friendly.
Leap CEO Chris Osborn said: “With Leap, we bring this capability directly to active traders. Thanks to Alpenglow, the Solana blockchain now confirms transactions in about 150 milliseconds, making the network faster than ever. Our job is to get the rest right—building out the infrastructure and the applications themselves—so traders can make better decisions and see their true performance. That’s what we mean by high performance.”
Leap's features
The story driving the market. Our goal is to help traders cut through the noise and focus on what truly impacts the world and the markets. Leap’s research team filters important news and marks it directly on price charts at the moment it influences prices.
Market. Tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, currencies, crypto assets, and millions of tokens on Solana are available for trading 24/7, subject to certain restrictions.
Spot trading. Users enter a dollar amount and confirm with a single tap. Each trade is executed as an on-chain swap, providing access to a wide range of tokens on Solana.

Leap plans to allocate future fees toward repurchasing and burning SOL, as well as supporting the referral program. Leap does not charge any fees upon launch. Network and routing fees apply and will be displayed before each transaction.
