MonBridge:
├─ Stores standing instruction
├─ Automatically executes weekly
├─ Reduces timing risk
└─ Improves average price

MEV Protection & Intent-Based Routing

MEV Awareness:

Current: Route trades through best-price venue
Improved: Route trades through MEV-resistant venues when beneficial

Benefits:
- Protection from sandwich attacks
- Fairer execution for users
- Alignment with ethical DeFi

Intent-Based Architecture:

User specifies intent: "Swap USDC for DAI, minimize cost"
MonBridge evaluates:
├─ Standard AMM execution
├─ Batch auction participation
├─ OTC market options
├─ Intent matching with other users
└─ Best result achieved

Cross-Chain Swaps

Seamless Multi-Chain Trading:

User: "Swap 1000 USDC on Ethereum for DAI on Polygon"
MonBridge:
