Alright, listen up 📢 You’re about to understand what a Shortcut is, and why it changes how teams build in DeFi. No theory. Just the real reason integrating Enso Shortcuts is all your app needs.

Imagine if every time you booked a flight, you had to go to the airline’s site, then the airport’s, then the baggage handler, then connections, manually. Is it programmable? Yes. Would you do it? Probably never going on holidays again. Shortcuts solve this.

A Shortcut is a single programmable instruction that executes a complex multi-step flow across protocols and chains. Swap → Bridge → Deposit → Stake, all done in one atomic transaction. You define the outcome. Enso executes the route. Simple.

Under the hood, Enso maps protocol actions, like swaps and bridges, into standardized, composable units within a shared execution engine. This architecture lets protocols define full user flows as a single transaction, without rebuilding their apps from scratch every time.

Now, this is all abstracted to the end user; they only see a button on an app. That’s why protocols like @Contango_xyz, @KodiakFi, and @yield integrate Shortcuts directly into their backend. They use Shortcuts to handle bridging, swapping, and deposits automatically, so users stay in the app and their flows work.

Protocols are built with Shortcuts. Users don’t even know it’s there, and that’s the point. If you're not building with Shortcuts, you're already behind. Start shipping today witn Enso.
