The Enso Shortcuts system offers two powerful APIs for building DeFi workflows:
  • Automated Routing: The POST shortcuts/route API calculates optimized multi-step paths for entering/exiting DeFi positions or swapping ERC20 tokens. It automatically creates a path between two positions specified in the request.
  • Bundling DeFi Actions: The POST shortcuts/bundle API lets you orchestrate DeFi workflows by composing multi-step sequences of Actions of your choosing.
Would route do the job?
The route API might be the simpler way to route your assets. Before using the bundle API, check if route would work using happypath.
Both APIs return a transaction object with calldata representing your workflow, ready to be submitted to EnsoShortcutRouter for execution.

1. Automated Routing

The POST route API is suitable for single-path operations with automatic optimization.

Token Swaps

Optimize conversions between tokens by leveraging automated routing across DEXs. Example: Swapping 1 ETH to USDC with the best execution price and 0.5% slippage
  • Input: 1 ETH
  • Slippage: 0.5%
  • Output: USDC worth of 1 ETH
Typescript SDK

Multi-Token Deposits

Deposit multiple tokens simultaneously into a liquidity pool to receive LP tokens in a single transaction. Example: Depositig 10 DAI + 10 USDC + 10 USDT to 3Crv LP tokens (Curve 3pool) in one step
  • Input: 10 DAI, 10 USDC, 10 USDT
  • Slippage: 0.5%
  • Output: 3Crv LP tokens
SDK

LST Staking Entry

Transform base tokens directly into staked liquid staking positions with a single call. Example: Converting 1 ETH to stETH (Lido Staked ETH) in one step
  • Input: 1 ETH
  • Slippage: 0.5%
  • Output: stETH
SDK

Yield Position Entry

Enter yield-generating positions from base assets. Example: Moving from 1 WETH to a Yearn vault (yvWETH)
  • Input: 1 WETH Output: yvWETH (exact amount depends on the vault’s share price)
  • Slippage: 0.5%
SDK

Position Exit (Single Token)

Exit completely from a DeFi position back to a single base token. Example: Converting 1 yvWETH (Yearn ETH vault) back to WETH
  • Input: 1 yvWETH
  • Output: WETH (actual amount depends on accrued yield)
  • Slippage: 0.5%
SDK

LP Position Entry

Enter into LP token positions with automatic routing and slippage protection. Example: Going from 1 ETH to ETH/USDC Uniswap LP tokens
  • Output: ~0.92 ETH/USDC LP tokens (varies with pool composition)
  • Slippage: 1%
SDK

Zap into a Morpho Blue Vault

Zap a Morpho USDC vault position, represented by 0xc1fc3492f7b9c64871389d2a223eef6ccc165fb0. Example: Going from 1 ETH to Morpho USDC position
  • Output: Morpho Blue USDC vault tokens
  • Slippage: 3%
SDK

Simple LST Zapping

Direct entry into or exit from liquid staking tokens. Example: Converting 1 stETH back to ETH
  • Input: 1 stETH (Lido Staked ETH)
  • Output: ETH (varies with current discount/premium)
  • Slippage: 1%
SDK
Note: Limited to simple LST interactions without complex staking steps. Use Bundle API for multi-step LST staking flows.

2. Bundling DeFi Actions

The Bundle API (POST /v1/shortcuts/bundle) excels at orchestrating complex sequences of operations.

Multi-Position Entry

Splitting funds across several positions simultaneously Example: Distributing 1 ETH into three LST tokens in one transaction
  • Input: 1 ETH
  • Slippage: 1% for each conversion
  • Outputs:
    1. stETH (Lido Staked ETH)
    2. rETH (Rocket Pool ETH)
    3. cbETH (Coinbase Staked ETH)
  • Process:
    1. Convert 1/3 ETH (0.333 ETH) to stETH
    2. Convert 1/3 ETH (0.333 ETH) to rETH
    3. Convert 1/3 ETH (0.334 ETH) to cbETH
SDK

Single-Asset Zap into Uniswap V3 Concentrated Liquidity

Provide liquidity to a two-asset Uniswap V3 pool using a single token as input. Enso automatically handles swapping for the second token and balancing the pair before depositing. Example: Use AAVE to provide concentrated liquidity to a WETH/AAVE pool on Uniswap v3 on Arbitrum.
  • Input: 10 AAVE
  • Output token: the NonfungiblePositionManager that mints and manages NFT-based receipts for provided liquidity.
  • Final Result: A Uniswap V3 NFT representing a concentrated liquidity position in the WETH/AAVE pool.
  • Process:
    1. The enso.split action takes the input AAVE and swaps the optimal amount for WETH to create a balanced pair required by the Uniswap pool.
    2. The uniswap-v3.depositclmm action takes the resulting WETH and AAVE from the previous step.
    3. It deposits both tokens as liquidity into the specified pool within the defined tick range (25320 to 25980).
SDK

Multiple-Asset Zap to SushiSwap V3 LP

To deposit into Sushiswap V3 AUSD/USDC poool, you need to use the bundle API. Bundle Design:
  • Input of 100 USDC must be split into 2 tokens: AUSD and USDC, using Enso’s split action that converts 50% of USDC into AUSD, and keeps the rest untouched
  • Deposit using depositclmm action of sushiswap-v3 protocol.
    • tokenIn are the pool’s tokens (USDC/AUSD)
    • amountIn is an array of amounts obtained from the split into USDC and AUSD respectively, using dynamic quantity reference (useOutputOfCallAt).
    • The tokenOut value is the address of Sushiswap’s position manager contract.
    • Provide correct fee and ticks.

Staking Pipeline

Chain multiple actions together to create a complete Curve LP staking workflow. Example: Creating a staked Curve 3pool position starting with 1 ETH
  • Input: 1 ETH
  • Final Output: 3pool LP tokens staked in Curve gauge
  • Process:
    1. Swap 1 ETH to USDC
    2. Deposit USDC into Curve 3pool to get 3pool LP tokens
    3. Stake 3pool LP tokens in the Curve gauge
SDK

Portfolio Rebalancing

Adjusting position sizes across multiple protocols. Example: Rebalancing from 70% ETH + 30% USDC to 50% ETH + 50% USDC across Aave positions
  • Input: 0.6 WETH (for reallocation)
  • Output:
    1. 0.4 WETH deposited to Aave (aWETH)
    2. ~$580 USDC (from 0.2 WETH) deposited to Aave (aUSDC)
  • Process:
    1. Convert 0.2 WETH to USDC
    2. Deposit 0.4 WETH into Aave (aWETH position)
    3. Deposit the acquired USDC into Aave (aUSDC position)
SDK

Position Migration

Moving from one protocol to another Example: Migrating 1 aWETH from Aave to Compound’s cETH
  • Input: 1 aWETH (Aave WETH)
  • Output: cETH (Compound ETH)
  • Process:
    1. Withdraw 1 WETH from Aave by redeeming aWETH
    2. Unwrap WETH to ETH
    3. Deposit ETH into Compound to get cETH
SDK

Leveraged Positions

Creating leveraged positions through multiple actions Example: Creating a 2x ETH position using Aave
  • Input: 1 WETH initial collateral
  • Final Result: WETH worth of collateral in Aave
  • Process:
    1. Deposit 1 WETH as collateral in Aave
    2. Borrow ~1,000 USDC against the WETH collateral
    3. Swap the borrowed 1,000 USDC back to ~0.35 WETH
    4. Deposit the additional WETH back into Aave as more collateral
SDK

Zap into multiple LPs

Multi-step entry into or exit from liquid staking tokens with additional operations. Example: Creating diversified LP and LST positions with 1 ETH
  • Input: 1 ETH split evenly
  • Slippage: 3% for each conversion
  • Process:
    1. Convert 0.5 ETH to stETH/ETH Curve LP tokens
    2. Convert 0.5 ETH to BAL/WETH Balancer LP tokens
SDK

Yield Compounding Flow

Automate yield compounding by harvesting rewards, swapping, and redepositing in a single transaction. Example: Compounding Curve gauge rewards back into the stETH/ETH pool
  • Input: Existing position in stETH/ETH Curve gauge
  • Slippage: 3%
  • Process:
    1. Harvest accumulated wstETH rewards from the Curve gauge
    2. Convert wstETH rewards to stETH
    3. Deposit stETH back into the stETH/ETH Curve pool
SDK

Liquid Staking Derivative Looping

Create a leveraged position with liquid staking tokens through recursive borrowing and depositing in a lending protocol. Example: Implement a multi-loop leveraged position on Lido Staked ETH (wstETH) using Aave V3 as the lending platform.
  • Input: 10 wstETH
  • Final Result: ~18.32 wstETH deposited with ~8.32 wstETH borrowed (1.83x leverage)
  • Process:
    1. Deposit 10 wstETH as collateral into Aave V3
    2. Borrow 5.4 wstETH against your deposited collateral
    3. Deposit the borrowed wstETH back as additional collateral
    4. Borrow 2.916 wstETH against your increased collateral
    5. Deposit this amount back again as additional collateral
SDK

Cross-Chain Route-Bridge

Execute a route and bridge tokens to another chain in a single transaction using the route-bridge functionality. Example: Bridging 1 ETH from Ethereum to Optimism and converting to USDT
  • Input: 1 ETH on Ethereum
  • Output: USDT on Optimism
  • Process:
    1. Route 1 ETH to USDT on Ethereum
    2. Bridge the resulting USDT to Optimism
    3. Receive USDT on Optimism
Important: When using destinationChainId, you must include refundReceiver to handle any potential refunds from failed bridge operations.
