A Deep Dive into Enso: Blockchain Shortcuts
This week, we announced the Enso Token Sale on CoinList, live until June 19th, at 17:00 UTC.
We sat down with the Enso Team about how Enso unifies smart contracts into one source, their massive growth in the past 6 months, and how they thought about structuring a community-first token sale.
Let’s dive in.
1. What challenges does Enso address in the blockchain ecosystem and why are these important for developers and users?
Enso tackles the biggest barrier to mass adoption in 2025: the complexity of building real products onchain. The issue isn't block size, TPS, or decentralization; it’s that developers can’t ship fast, easily, or reliably. Despite crypto’s permissionless nature, it has only around 4,800 apps, compared to millions in traditional app stores like Google Play or Apple’s App Store.
This is due to extreme fragmentation: over 1,000 blockchain frameworks, 41M+ smart contracts on Ethereum alone, and massive integration overhead. Teams spend $500K+ and 6+ months just integrating instead of focusing on product, community, and growth.
Enso solves this by unifying all blockchain data, chains, and smart contracts into a single network. It makes Web3 development feel like Web2 development, enabling fast experimentation, reusable components, and reduced build times from 6+ months to under a week. As blockchains and data sources grow, so does demand for Enso’s unified infrastructure.
2. How does Enso handle the complexity of different blockchain protocols to offer a unified interface for developers?
Enso offers a seamless integration for developers with the Enso Network, standardizing various interaction types and allowing different smart contracts to be associated with an interaction type, removing complexities associated with each individual smart contract nuance. For example, lending protocols inside of Enso can be used by ProtocolName.lend, whereas without Enso, they would need to reference each individual function signature type, build manual integrations to all prerequisite smart contracts, and maintain this integration. Now with Enso, one integration gives developers access to all the possibilities of blockchain technology.
3. What are some real-world use cases where Enso has improved the efficiency and functionality of blockchain applications?
Enso is the single point of access for all blockchain development, and works with household names like Berachain, Virtuals, Plume, ElizaOS, Uniswap, LayerZero, Stargate, Sushiswap, Infinex, and many more. Resulting in Enso powering all current use cases within crypto, and all future use cases to come. Enso is the fastest way to build and launch onchain applications.
Enso is already powering over 100+ enterprise-grade products and has been used to settle more than $15 billion onchain. Notably, it played a key role in the high-profile launch of Berachain, where Enso was used to facilitate over $3.1 billion in executed transactions. The Uniswap position migration tool was released in collaboration with Uniswap, LayerZero, and Stargate. Plume, ZKsync, and Sonic used Enso for their incentivized launch campaigns. There are many more high-profile enterprises that use Enso to build their products.
4. What is the role of Action Providers, Graphers, and Validators in the Enso network?
The Enso network is powered by three core participants:
- Action Providers contribute modular smart contract abstractions.
- Graphers build algorithms that combine these actions into executable solutions. Only one solution is selected per request, so graphers are rewarded for finding the most optimal path.
- Validators secure the network by authenticating requests, verifying contributions, simulating transactions, and validating the final solution.
5. How does Enso’s approach differ from other blockchain interoperability solutions?
Enso is aware of all interaction types on all frameworks, enabling developers to offer their users all blockchain interactions. Without Enso, intent networks and chain abstraction protocols are purely request houses with no ability to execute on-chain, and consequently, requests will only sit in these protocols without the execution occurring. Enso enables these protocols to become a reality.
6. What are the next big features or improvements planned for Enso?
Enso is evolving from a powerful API into a fully decentralized network. The next major milestone is opening up the Enso DeFi library, allowing anyone to contribute contract abstractions, broadening the opportunities, and enabling even faster development.
Enso is currently available on many EVM chains, and the next large innovation will be expanding to Solana and Move based blockchains. This expansion will further enhance our customers’ ability to build composable applications and interact with all of the blockchain ecosystem through one source.
7. What role does the community play in Enso’s growth, and how has it evolved leading up to the token sale?
Enso sees its community as the core engine of growth: builders, users, and contributors are the ones actively shaping the network. That’s why community ownership is a priority. The token sale is designed to reflect this: participants get better terms than a previous VC round, with a lower valuation and 100% unlock at TGE, while VCs and the team follow a 2-year linear vesting schedule.
To ensure broad and fair access, Enso uses a “filling up from the bottom” sale format. Allocations start with the lowest bids, allowing smaller contributors and committed users to participate ahead of large buyers. It’s a mechanism that aligns ownership with those who believe in and use the network.
8. What is the best way to get involved in the Enso community?
We are looking for community members who want to accelerate blockchain adoption by enabling developers to build products seamlessly using Enso.
