$ENSO
Enso (ENSO) is a high-performance Layer-0 infrastructure protocol that serves as an "intent engine" for DeFi. It simplifies the fragmented blockchain landscape by allowing developers and users to bundle complex, multi-chain interactions—like swaps, lending, and yield farming—into single, atomic transactions.

As of early 2026, ENSO has emerged as a significant infrastructure play, particularly following its high-profile integration with the Monad ecosystem.
### 1. Core Value Proposition
The Intent Engine: Enso abstracts away the complexity of smart contract interactions. Instead of manually bridging assets or calling specific functions, users state their "intent" (e.g., "Move USDT from Ethereum to a yield vault on Monad"), and the network handles the execution.
+1
Composability: Enso provides a "unified API" for DeFi. It maps smart contracts across different chains, enabling developers to build apps that interact with any protocol without custom integration.
+1
Ecosystem Role: It is already a critical backend layer for major protocols like EtherFi, Infinex, and Plume, having facilitated over $17 billion in settlement volume.
### 2. Tokenomics & Utility
The ENSO token is the backbone of the network's decentralized execution:
Gas & Fees: ENSO is used to pay for executing cross-chain operations and "intents" within the network.
Staking & Security: Validators must stake ENSO to secure the network and verify that the generated solutions for user intents are valid.
Governance: Holders participate in the DAO to vote on protocol upgrades and new chain integrations.
Supply Dynamics: The circulating supply is relatively low (approx. 21 million), with a total supply of 100–127 million.#VIRBNB #GoldOnTheRise #FedHoldsRates #ZAMAPreTGESale #USIranStandoff
