# IntentGuard

> Transaction outcome enforcement for on-chain treasuries. Free for DAOs, foundations, and projects.

IntentGuard is an enforcement layer that sits between your wallet and the blockchain. It guarantees that transactions settle within declared economic boundaries — or they don't settle at all. No gas consumed on reverts. No partial enforcement.

## What IntentGuard Does

IntentGuard protects on-chain treasury operations from:

- **Address Poisoning**: Attackers pollute transaction history with lookalike addresses. IntentGuard enforces recipient constraints on-chain — poisoned addresses are rejected at execution.
- **Price Drift & MEV**: Sandwich attacks and mempool reordering extract value between signing and settlement. IntentGuard locks acceptable price ranges and submits transactions privately to block builders.
- **Liquidity Drift**: Pool liquidity changes between simulation and execution. IntentGuard enforces slippage constraints at execution time, not simulation time.
- **Wallet Draining**: Transaction Simulation Spoofing, Malicious approvals, phishing signatures, and compromised frontends. IntentGuard enforces balance constraints — unexpected token outflows cause the transaction to revert.

## How It Works

1. **Set your RPC**: Point your wallet (MetaMask, Safe, Rabby, or any custom RPC wallet) to the IntentGuard RPC endpoint.
2. **Transact normally**: Send payments, execute swaps, run payroll. IntentGuard simulates each transaction and auto-generates enforcement constraints based on expected outcomes.
3. **Atomic enforcement**: Constraints are verified on-chain at execution time using an enforcer contract. Outcome matches intent → transaction settles. Outcome deviates → transaction is dropped. Zero gas consumed on reverts.

## Who It's For

- **DAO treasuries**: Multi-sig operators managing funds through Gnosis Safe. Grant disbursements, contributor payments, token swaps.
- **Foundations & projects**: Finance and operations teams paying contributors, converting treasury assets, managing runway.
- **Protocol teams**: Token buybacks, liquidity provisioning, ecosystem grants, vendor payments.

## Pricing

- **Treasury tier (Free)**: Unlimited protected transactions for treasury operations — payments, payroll, standard swaps. Includes address poisoning prevention, MEV/sandwich protection, balance constraints, slippage enforcement, private submission, Safe compatibility, dashboard, and audit trail.
- **Advanced tier (Custom pricing)**: For trading desks, portfolio rebalancing, multi-leg trade enforcement, custom enforcer contracts, AI agent guardrails via MCP, priority builder access, SLA and dedicated support.

## Technical Details

- **Enforcement mechanism**: User signs both a transaction and an EIP-712 intent declaring outcome constraints. IntentGuard bundles these with an on-chain enforcer contract. At execution, the enforcer captures chain state before and after, verifying constraints atomically.
- **Private submission**: Protected transactions are routed privately to block builders, never broadcast to the public mempool. This prevents frontrunning, sandwich attacks, and transaction copying.
- **Trustless verification**: Constraints are cryptographically signed and verified on-chain. No trust assumption on IntentGuard infrastructure is required for enforcement correctness.
- **No custody**: IntentGuard never has custody of funds. It cannot modify transactions or alter constraints.
- **Compatible infrastructure**: Works with existing custody setups including MPC wallets, multi-sig (Safe), hardware wallets, and institutional signing services.

## Integration

- **Wallet users**: Set the IntentGuard RPC endpoint in your wallet settings. No code changes required.
- **Wallet developers**: Integrate via the IntentGuard SDK. See the Wallet Integration Guide.
- **AI agents**: IntentGuard exposes enforcement primitives via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Agents can discover, configure, and submit protected transactions through a standardized tool interface.

## Enforced Constraint Types

- Token balance changes within expected ranges
- Transfers to approved recipient addresses
- Slippage within acceptable thresholds
- Collateral ratios maintained
- Maximum per-transaction spend caps
