- Enso will support the Monad mainnet from day one, giving developers immediate access to DeFi tooling and liquidity.
- Monad’s Layer-1 blockchain launches with high throughput, up to 10,000 TPS, and full EVM compatibility.
- Enso’s single-API integration removes the usual multi-week protocol onboarding bottleneck for new networks.
Enso, the Zurich-based provider of blockchain development infrastructure, has announced that it will be supporting the launch of the Monad mainnet, which is scheduled for today, November 24, with full integration from the moment the network goes live.
The event, which will see the launch of Monad’s Layer-1 network and $MON token after months of anticipation, provides users and developers with a high-throughput blockchain optimized for DeFi applications.
With Enso’s integration, developers can immediately access tools for creating applications covering swaps, bridging, stablecoin minting, lending markets, and liquidity provision, ensuring that Monad users can quickly deploy their assets, including $MON, and explore trading and earning opportunities on the Layer-1 chain.
Solving the integration bottleneck
Blockchain builders usually face the challenge of manually integrating every protocol they wish to utilize, and this process can take weeks or months, resulting in new networks struggling to establish a solid ecosystem of applications. This integration bottleneck tends to slow down the adoption of promising blockchain platforms, regardless of their technical capabilities.
Enso’s DeFi integration tools promise to address this challenge by enabling builders to access the full spectrum of protocols and liquidity sources available on Monad through a single API.
Core actions such as swaps, bridges, deposits, mints, and zaps are all incorporated, removing the need for custom routing logic. According to Enso, this will allow developers to create complete user flows faster while maintaining security standards, effectively shortening development timelines from months to days.
Enso touts new standard for launches
Milos Costantini, co-founder of Enso, said, “Supporting Monad from day one reflects exactly what Enso was built for: giving builders immediate access to the liquidity and tooling they need to ship valuable products.” He added that “With Enso plugged into Monad at launch, teams can start creating sophisticated DeFi flows instantly, from swaps and lending to cross-chain markets. We’re excited to help Monad go live with full utility in place to accelerate the growth of its onchain economy.”
With the crypto community tuned in to Mondad’s launch, Enso’s day-one support for the network could be on show for a large audience as the new norm for blockchain launches, allowing networks to deploy with deep utility from the very start rather than gradually building functionality over time.
Monad Labs claims its platform is capable of processing 10,000 transactions per second while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This has contributed to its increasing popularity in the blockchain space, with some observers comparing it to other blockchain platforms, such as Solana.
It has significant institutional backing, having raised over $225 million at a valuation of $3 billion in a funding round led by Paradigm last year. The project recently raised $269 million through a Coinbase token sale that attracted 85,820 participants.
Ecosystem support and the future of blockchain launches
Enso’s announcement follows similar support commitments from other infrastructure providers. Tenderly, a major developer tooling platform, also confirmed day-one compatibility with Monad, providing scalability, simulations, debugging, and real-time monitoring tools that are widely used by smart-contract teams building on EVM chains.
Enso has supported more than 145 projects to date and facilitated over $17 billion in onchain settlements, and with the Monad mainnet debuting into its environment, those figures will likely go up soon. The partnership also increases the likelihood of early adoption while improving user experience and retention, which is a maturation of the blockchain launch playbook.
