Enso

Enso is a decentralized shared network designed to unify all blockchains, rollups, and appchains under one system. Built as a Tendermint-based layer-1 blockchain, Enso allows developers to read, write, and interact with any smart contract across multiple ecosystems from a single integration point. By enabling developers to express desired outcomes as intents, Enso’s network participants coordinate to generate executable bytecode that fulfills those requests—removing the friction of manual integrations and making blockchain development seamless, composable, and truly interoperable.

As the first shared network state that connects every blockchain, Enso serves as a foundational layer of connectivity for Web3. Its programmable “Shortcut” system allows protocol interactions to be packaged into reusable units of logic, which are verified through simulation-based proofs by staked validators, ensuring correctness and integrity. With support for EVM, SVM, and MVM chains, Enso empowers developers to build scalable, unstoppable applications that bridge Web2 and Web3, driving broader blockchain usability and adoption.

Since its founding in 2021 by Connor Howe—a pioneer in Ethereum research and digital asset banking—Enso has powered over 145 enterprise-grade products and settled more than $17 billion on-chain. It has been instrumental in major launches such as Berachain and Uniswap’s migration tool and is backed by industry leaders including Polychain, Multicoin, Naval Ravikant, and over 70 angel investors from top projects like LayerZero, Yearn, and Flashbots. Acting as the connectivity layer of crypto, Enso is transforming how developers and users interact across the entire blockchain ecosystem.
