  • Enso - Building Blockchain Shortcuts for Apps, Agents & More: What You Need to Know

    Enso builds blockchain shortcuts; whether it’s apps, agents, or something in between, teams can use Enso to abstract away the pain points of development. In today’s edition, we’ll focus on what Enso is, how it simplifies the Web3 development process and more. With AI agents running amok and new chains launching, the possibilities for what can be built onchain are larger than ever; Enso makes it easy to turn ideas into reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Enso

1

What does Enso actually do?

It converts any on‑chain “intent” into a single Shortcut—audited calldata you can call once instead of stitching‑together multiple contracts.

2

How many integrations are live today?

The network aggregates 200 + protocols and 60 + running dApps across Ethereum L1, major rollups, and other EVM chains.

3

Why are Shortcuts faster to ship?

Projects like Onplug cut dev time from 7 months to 1.5 days by re‑using audited building blocks instead of bespoke code.

4

Who keeps Shortcut routes honest?

Graphers propose the cheapest path; staked Validators simulate and sign the winner, securing final execution on‑chain.

5

How is security audited?

Each Action is pre‑audited; complete Shortcuts are re‑simulated by Validators before they hit mainnet, preventing malicious paths.
