# How Brist Works

At a high level, Brist maintains nodes on multiple chains, dispatches workers to listen for potentially relevant events, enriches these events to be human-understandable, then passes events through user-stipulated filters into designated output channels.

For more information on each step, see the other pages in this section.

At the moment, we primarily enable alert creation through the Brist app's no-code interface. Programmatic alert creation is in closed alpha -- if you're interested in using it, please reach out to <jagath@usebrist.com>
