Enso Network, supported by Polychain Capital, officially launched its mainnet on Tuesday, marking a major step for decentralized finance (DeFi) interoperability. Alongside the mainnet, the project introduced its ENSO token on Ethereum and BNB networks.
Enso is designed as an interoperability layer that enables developers to interact with multiple blockchains and smart contracts through a single, standardized interface. The network aims to become “the connective tissue” linking over a thousand blockchain frameworks, simplifying cross-chain operations for DeFi projects.
Saving Time and Resources for Developers
Enso seeks to help developers and firms avoid wasting time and capital on complex integration processes. According to founder Connor Howe, many teams currently spend their resources on technical hurdles instead of building neobanks, stablecoins, and AI-driven applications that could define the next decade of blockchain innovation.
Building the Web3 Developer Community
The platform also aims to grow the Web3 developer ecosystem, which currently counts only 23,000 active contributors, a small fraction compared to the 47 million developers in traditional software. Enso envisions empowering these developers to accelerate innovation across decentralized applications.
Proven Trust and Adoption
To date, Enso has been trusted by over 145 projects and facilitated more than $17 billion in on-chain settlements. The network’s strong backing includes notable investors such as Multicoin Capital and Cyberfund, in addition to Polychain Capital.
