Brink provides a decentralized intents protocol that lets Web3 developers define desired outcomes—such as token swaps, recurring transfers, or conditional trades—through a JSON‑based DSL and REST API. The protocol routes these intents to a network of solvers that source liquidity, execute the actions, and cover gas costs, enabling gas‑free, single‑signature workflows across multiple chains. It also offers MEV‑resistant settlement and built‑in support for recurring and cross‑chain intents.

Problem
Web3 developers must manage on‑chain transaction costs, gas payments, and complex smart‑contract logic to achieve desired outcomes such as swaps, recurring transfers, or conditional trades. This creates friction for users who lack native tokens for gas and limits the ability to build composable, gas‑free workflows.
Solution
Brink delivers a generalized intents protocol that lets developers specify *what* outcome they want—e.g., a token swap at a target price—rather than the exact transaction sequence. A lightweight JSON‑based DSL and a RESTful API translate these intents into executable actions that are fulfilled by a decentralized solver network. The solvers source liquidity from any on‑ or off‑chain pool, execute the intent without requiring the user to hold ETH for gas, and handle gas payment, routing, and MEV mitigation on behalf of the signer. By abstracting away transaction mechanics, Brink enables gas‑free, single‑signature workflows such as recurring dollar‑cost‑averaging swaps, subscription payments, stop‑loss orders, and cross‑chain rebalancing, all integrated with a few lines of code.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Web3 dApp developers and protocol teams building DeFi, trading, subscription, or portfolio‑management features that require gas‑free, outcome‑driven workflows.
Features
- **Intent DSL & API**: JSON‑based domain‑specific language and HTTP endpoints for defining and submitting intents with a single EIP‑712 or EIP‑1271 signature.
- **Gas‑free user experience**: Solvers cover gas costs, allowing users to interact without holding native tokens.
- **Composable recurring intents**: Built‑in support for periodic actions (e.g., swaps every N blocks) using the “replay” and “conditions” schema.
- **Decentralized solver network**: Dynamic liquidity aggregation across Ethereum, Polygon, and other L2s, with optimal routing and price discovery via Dutch‑auction settlement.
- **MEV resistance**: Intent outcomes are fixed; solvers compete off‑chain, reducing sandwich and front‑running risk.
- **Cross‑chain abstraction**: A single intent can operate on multiple networks without requiring the user to switch wallets.
- **Developer tooling**: SDKs, widgets, and documentation for rapid integration into existing dApps.
