đź§  Shortcuts to the Future of Web3: Introducing Enso

Web3 is powerful, but building in it still feels broken. Every developer who's tried to launch a product in crypto knows the pain: fragmented protocols, brittle integrations, and endless maintenance.

But what if you could skip all that?
What if Web3 development could feel like using Lego bricks instead of reverse-engineering a rocket ship?

That’s the vision behind Enso — and it starts with something called Shortcuts.


đź§© What Are Shortcuts?

In the world of Enso, Shortcuts are pre-built, reusable blocks of onchain logic. They encapsulate the messy, low-level complexity of interacting with smart contracts and protocols — swapping tokens, routing liquidity, claiming rewards, batching transactions — and turn them into a single, composable function.

Want to build a product that routes trades across 10 DEXs?
There's a Shortcut for that.
Need to automate treasury management?
Shortcut.
Launch a custom DeFi strategy for your users?
Shortcut.

These aren’t just templates — they’re fully-executable, auditable, and production-grade primitives built by developers, for developers.


đź›  Why Enso Matters

Most Web3 teams today are stuck re-building the same integrations over and over again. One protocol update? Time to patch. Want to support a new chain? That’s another sprint. The result: fragile systems, huge burn, and less time shipping user-facing features.

Enso flips that script. With its Shortcut Engine, teams can:

  • Build faster with modular onchain logic
  • Reduce infrastructure complexity
  • Focus on product, not protocol plumbing
  • React quickly to ecosystem changes
  • Safely compose across chains and protocols

In short, Enso does for onchain development what APIs and SDKs did for Web2.


🤝 Powered by Builders, Used by Builders

The best part? Enso isn't building in a vacuum. Teams are already using Shortcuts to bring powerful ideas to life:

  • Onplug rebuilt their entire integration layer in 1.5 days after struggling for 7 months.
  • Glider uses Shortcuts to automate portfolio strategies across chains.
  • Merkl (as part of ZKSync’s Ignite program) runs Shortcuts for 17+ DeFi protocols — all abstracted into a clean UI.

They’re not alone. Enso has already processed over $13 billion in value through Shortcuts. This isn’t a prototype. It’s production.


đź”® Web3 Development in 10x Mode

Enso is part of a bigger shift: from low-level protocol integration toward higher-level application abstraction. As more chains and apps emerge, we’ll need shared standards and composable logic to keep pace.

Shortcuts offer a path forward.
They’re protocol-agnostic, chain-flexible, and infinitely composable.
Think of them as infrastructure legos for crypto-native apps.
