Enso ENSO / Enso

Enso was founded back in 2021. Enso brings every blockchain together in a single, unified network. The single point of access for all blockchain development, where developers can read, write, and interact with any Smart Contract on any chain from a single integration. Empowering developers to build composable applications for millions of users across Web2 and Web3. Secured by validators and upgraded with governance. While Web2 boasts over 4.7 million apps, Web3 is still emerging with just 4,700. Enso serves as a vital piece of infrastructure for the ecosystem, enabling developers to build and scale onchain applications seamlessly. Enso is already powering over 145+ enterprise-grade products and has been used to settle more than $17 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. Enso is backed by some of the most prominent names in the industry, including Polychain, Multicoin, Naval Ravikant, Cyberfund, Dialectic, Spartan, and IDEO. Additionally, over 70 angel investors from top projects such as LayerZero, Safe, 1inch, Yearn, Flashbots, Dune, Altlayer, Pendle, and many others also support Enso. Enso supports protocol integrations across multiple EVM, SVM and MVM based blockchains. At its core is the "Shortcut" system, a programmable, composable framework that packages protocol interactions into reusable and shareable units of logic. These Shortcuts are validated by Enso Validators, which run simulation-based proofs to verify logic correctness. Validators stake Enso tokens as collateral and are subject to slashing for incorrect validation, ensuring economic alignment and protocol integrity. Enso is the unified engine that bridges together the Web2 world and Web3 to enable applications to be built that were not possible before. Founded by Connor Howe, who has been building on Ethereum since 2016, and wrote one of the first UK research papers on Ethereum.
