Enso gives Monad a running start with day-one DeFi toolkit

Enso, a platform that streamlines the work of connecting DeFi protocols, will support the launch of the Monad mainnet on November 24. The integration means developers building on Monad will have immediate access to tools for creating applications across trading, lending, bridging, stablecoin minting, and more.

Summary
  • Monad is set to debut its high-speed Layer-1 blockchain on November 24, and it won’t be doing it alone.
  • Enso — a developer tooling platform known for collapsing complex integrations into simple API calls — will plug into Monad from the moment the network goes live.
  • The move strips out much of the grunt work that usually slows early-stage blockchain ecosystems.

Monad’s new Layer-1 and its native $MON token are built for high throughput, aiming to compete in areas like DeFi where speed and low latency matter. Enso’s early support will let builders put assets — including $MON — to use immediately, instead of waiting for infrastructure to be assembled after the chain comes online.

Developers typically need to manually integrate every protocol they want to work with, a time-consuming process that can leave new networks without functional apps for weeks. Enso’s “shortcuts” compress that work into a single API layer, allowing teams to deploy everything from liquidity aggregators to cross-chain lending tools much faster.

Through one Enso integration, Monad builders gain access to a broad set of actions — swaps, bridges, deposits, mints, and zaps — without having to write custom routing logic for each. The goal is to streamline early development so applications can focus on user experience rather than plumbing.

“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,” Enso co-founder Milos Costantini said. “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.”

The early traction of new networks often hinges on launch liquidity and the availability of developer tools, and Enso’s deployment gives Monad both from the outset.

The move also comes during a year of blockbuster blockchain developments: EigenLayer’s expansion, Solana’s continued surge in validator activity, and the launch of several major AI-integrated chains have raised expectations for what a modern network should offer at genesis.

Monad’s decision to go live with full tooling in place signals that new chains in 2025 are competing not just on tech — but on how quickly real apps can take shape.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
