deBridge is a cross-chain trading network. Its DLN orders are intents: an order locks what its maker gives in deBridge's DlnSource on the chain it leaves from and names exactly what its recipient takes on another chain, in which token and how much. Takers compete to fill it from their own inventory, paying the recipient on the destination within seconds, and are repaid the locked amount once deBridge's validators carry proof of the fill back to the source chain.

That turns a bridge into a swap. The token taken need not be the token given: USDC on Base can arrive as ether on Arbitrum or as USDT on BNB Chain in one order, the taker swapping on the destination as part of the fill. On Base alone that carried around seven thousand orders and twenty-nine million dollars in the last month.

The take amount is the whole contract. An order pays its recipient exactly what it names or nothing at all: an order no taker fills stays open until its authority cancels it on the destination, which returns the full amount to the chain it left from. The right figure moves with prices and with what takers hold, so doing it by hand means quoting, signing at whatever moment someone happens to be looking, and hoping the quote still clears.

In a plug the order fires on a condition rather than a schedule, such as a balance landing, a price crossing or a position closing, with the take amount signed in advance from deBridge's own quote and the fixed fee read from the DlnSource when it runs.

Proceeds swept to the chain and the token they are spent in the moment they arrive. Balances kept topped up across chains without anyone watching. Transfers that land in seconds and never pay less than they promised.
