Broker as a Service
On Chainflip, every swap enters through a broker, and the broker earns a fee on it. Running a broker yourself means servers, load balancers, DDoS protection, protocol upgrades and someone who knows the stack. Broker as a Service (BaaS) operates that broker for you, so a wallet or DEX can integrate Chainflip swaps and set its own commission without running any of it.
BaaS is highly available and kept up to date with the protocol. It also enforces the broker’s commission, so users can’t strip the integrator’s fee from a swap. Its own fee of 0.05% is the lowest in the ecosystem, and Chainflip lists it on its ecosystem page. The documentation covers registration and the API.
BaaS also exposes a remote MCP server at chainflip-broker.io/mcp, so AI agents can list assets, get quotes, start regular and DCA swaps, and track their status. The server definition and an agent skill are open source.
Technologies: Chainflip broker API, high-availability infrastructure, REST APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI agent tooling.
