Enso Announces $5M Community Round on CoinList
Zurich, Switzerland, June 11th, 2025, Chainwire Enso, the leading provider of blockchain shortcuts, has announced its community round on token issuance platform CoinList. 4% of the project's total supply of 100M $ENSO tokens will be made available to the public in the form of a $5M round. Through pioneering blockchain shortcuts, Enso has developed a fast way to build and launch onchain. Backed by leading web3 VCs including Polychain Capital, Multicoin Capital, Spartan, Dialectic, Cyberfund, and IdeoVentures, Enso unifies every blockchain framework into a single network. This gives developers one point of access to read, write, and interact with any smart contract on any chain through a single integration. The $5M community round goes live on CoinList on June 12, 2025, at 5pm UTC and closes on June 19, 2025, at 5pm UTC. The event gives community members an opportunity to acquire $ENSO tokens at a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $125M. This is a lower valuation than a previous VC round, giving community members the opportunity to enter at favorable terms. The community round will play a vital role in decentralizing Enso's protocol by allowing a broad range of users to participate. Participants can register at Enso Co-Founder Connor Howe said: 'The $ENSO token plays a critical role within the Enso ecosystem and the CoinList community round will be pivotal in democratizing access to it. With the support of our growing community, we're on course to launch a new era for blockchain interoperability that's easier for developers and users alike to interact with.' Enso is trusted by over 100 enterprises spanning AI agents, blockchains, restaking, asset management, cross-chain infrastructure, DEXs, perpetuals, telegram bots, money markets, staking platforms, automation tools and AI frameworks. In addition to supporting enterprises, Enso is built for everyone from hobbyist developers to startups who want to ship blockchain apps in a weekend. Blockchain developers are impeded by complex integrations and fragmented chains as a consequence of rapid omnichain expansion. Enso addresses this by serving as the single point of access for all blockchain development with read and write functionality through one tool. Enso allows developers to define intents that describe desired outcomes, translating them into actionable workflows that interact with smart contracts across multiple blockchains. By providing a universal abstraction layer, Enso standardizes all types of onchain actions, removing the need for developers to navigate the intricacies of individual protocols or networks. Operating as an open-source network, Enso enables developers and AI engines to contribute data feeds and smart contract information required for execution. This incorporates all ecosystem features into one tool, enhancing conversion of new web3 developers. Enso's CoinList community round will support this goal, bringing the industry closer to an omnichain landscape that works as one. About Enso Enso is the fastest way to build and launch onchain. Trusted by over 100 projects and having enabled over $15B to be settled onchain, Enso simplifies what used to be a slow and complex process. Developers no longer need to manually integrate protocols, understand all smart contracts, or pay for costly audits before testing their ideas. Enso achieves this by introducing blockchain shortcuts: combinations of actions that simplify how developers interact with the blockchain. By mapping these interactions to a shared engine, Enso handles the heavy lifting, allowing developers to focus entirely on their product and bring their ideas to life. Contact
