Enso provides blockchain shortcuts, creating a unified network that integrates all blockchains and smart contracts into a single system. This allows developers to concentrate on their product, community, and distribution, bypassing the complexities of blockchain development through the use of one tool: Enso. Supporting over 75 projects and facilitating more than $15 billion in onchain settlements, Enso is the essential tool for building blockchain applications.
Challenge: Usability
Prior to adopting Enso, developers had to manually integrate blockchain frameworks, craft smart contracts to communicate with other smart contracts, grasp the intricacies of each smart contract, and create tailored infrastructure to sustain their integrations. This approach was not only time-intensive and susceptible to errors but also demanded a thorough knowledge of the blockchain framework hosting the smart contracts.

Solution: Enso
With Enso, developers now have access to a single platform that simplifies the complexities of interacting with smart contracts. This is made possible through a shared network state that captures and manages all smart contract interactions across blockchains, rollups, and rollapps, making them readily available for execution. Below, we provide a concise overview of the blockchain ecosystem's evolution, highlighting the ongoing challenges developers face in creating applications.
The Enso infrastructure is currently accessible via a centralized API, while its decentralized network is in the testnet stage. The Enso network operates as a layer-1 blockchain based on Tendermint, developed using the Cosmos SDK.

Enso Shorcuts - Makes the Path in One Click
Picture this: you're adding liquidity and staking your LP tokens with ease. The interface could be straightforward—just a single "Add liquidity and stake" button. One click, and that’s it, you’re all set!
All in one click, and that's it, everything is ready! Now you don't have to look for complicated solutions! Enso has done it for you.At Enso, we've created shortcuts that integrate the most frequently used DeFi actions, including lending, borrowing, swapping, providing liquidity, vaults, liquid staking tokens (LST), liquid restaking tokens (LRT), restaking, NFT operations, and beyond.
With Enso, intent networks gain the following advantages:
Pre-established links to more than 160 DeFi protocols
Seamless transaction bundling for smooth execution
Cross-chain capabilities without the need for manual bridging
Smart routing designed to reduce costs and boost efficiency
Practical Intent Execution Powered by Enso
CoW Protocol
Check out CoW Protocol, which leverages Enso shortcuts to enhance the efficiency of its intent-based trading, no matter the blockchain in use. As they describe it: "Enso shines at executing intent-driven transactions across various chains, broadening the scope of what users can achieve on CoW Protocol, ultimately improving the experience for everyone."

Li.Fi
Or consider Li.Fi, which simplifies and secures cross-chain transfers. Instead of manually linking bridges and protocols, they utilize our ready-made shortcuts. Users simply specify their desired asset destination, and our trusted shortcuts seamlessly manage the process behind the scenes.
