# What is Brist

Brist is the easiest way to listen for and build automations around on-chain events. With Brist, you can listen for arbitrarily specific events on any chain and pipe them to outcomes, all while writing little to no code.

Though we're starting out with Ethereum and EVM-based chains, we're adding new sources and sinks as fast as we can. If there's a specific workflow that you'd like that isn't currently enabled, reach out to[ jagath@usebrist.com](mailto:jagath@usebrist.com) and we'll get it up and running ASAP.
