# Bron Intents

> Open protocol for cross-chain swaps

Bron Wallet is a non-custodial software interface that provides access to decentralised protocols. It is not a trading venue, exchange, or counterparty. <br /><br />
Bron Intents is an open protocol that connects users with independent third-party Solvers for peer-to-peer, on-chain swaps across blockchains. Bron does not hold or control assets, match orders, or execute transactions.

## Introduction

In Bron Intents, there are 3 main participants:

1. **User**: The party initiating a swap request from their non-custodial wallet.
2. **Solver**: An independent third party that competes to fill swap requests by quoting prices.
3. **Oracle**: An independent, decentralised set of validators that verify on-chain settlement between Solver and User.

## Quick overview of the process

<Steps>
  <Step title="User creates a swap request">
    The User creates a swap request with the required parameters, such as the asset, the amount, auction duration, and other relevant details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Independent Solvers submit quotes">
    During the auction period, independent Solvers submit competing quotes. The protocol automatically selects the best available quote.
  </Step>

  <Step title="User authorises the on-chain transaction">
    If the User is satisfied with the quoted price, they authorise the on-chain transaction directly from their wallet. Independent Oracles verify settlement on-chain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Solver delivers the asset">
    The Solver delivers the asset on the destination chain. Oracles verify delivery and the swap is complete.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  All transactions are executed on-chain. Users retain control of their assets until they authorise a transaction.
  Bron provides the protocol interface and does not act as counterparty, broker, or controller of funds.

## Progressive decentralisation

Bron Intents is designed for progressive decentralisation. Protocol governance is scheduled to transition to an independent DAO following completion of third-party security audits.
Post-transition, Bron will not retain governance tokens or veto power over the protocol.

## Glossary

* **Intent / Order** — a user's request to swap an asset on one chain for an asset on another chain. Both terms are used interchangeably. The smart contract calls it an *order*, the public API calls it an *intent*.
* **Base network / asset** — the network and asset the user sends.
* **Quote network / asset** — the network and asset the user receives.
* **Broadcaster (Integrator)** — partner that creates orders on-chain on behalf of users and earns a front-end fee per order.
* **Solver** — independent participant that quotes prices during the auction and delivers the asset on the quote network.
* **Oracle** — independent validator that verifies on-chain settlement on both base and quote networks via quorum.
* **Auction** — the time window during which solvers compete by submitting quotes. Best price wins.
* **Settlement** — the on-chain delivery of funds (user → solver on base, then solver → user on quote).
* **Insurance** — BRON tokens locked by a solver as collateral. Covers liquidation if the solver fails to deliver.
* **Liquidation** — replacement of a non-delivering solver by a backup solver, who is paid a premium from the original solver's insurance.

## Supported networks

Bron Intents currently supports the following networks (as both base and quote):

**BTC**, **ETH**, **BSC**, **TRX**, **SOL**, **CC**, **XRP**, **BASE**, **GNK**, **TON**, **ARB**, **OP**, **POL**, **HyperEVM**.
