TL;DR
- Enso launched Crosschain Routing, a solution that allows DeFi actions to be attached to the destination side of a bridge, delivering finished positions.
- The system uses bridge callbacks to detect the delivered balance and execute swaps, mints, or vault deposits in sequence.
- Four protocols are already integrated: Chainlink CCIP, Circle CCTP, Relay, and Stargate, offering automatic route selection for simple flows.
Enso introduced Crosschain Routing, a feature that transforms the role of bridges in DeFi flows. Until now, a bridge served a limited function: moving assets between networks.
What happened next depended entirely on the user, who had to navigate each protocol, each network, and each step manually. With this update, the bridge is no longer the final step and becomes one action within a flow that continues until reaching a finished DeFi position at the destination.
Enso Callbacks
The mechanism relies on Enso’s bridge callbacks. A callback is a set of instructions attached to the bridge action and executed on the destination chain once the assets have been delivered.
Enso Crosschain Routing is now live.

The first step of that callback reads the balance actually received, which eliminates the need to assume fixed amounts: what arrives is exactly what feeds the next action, whether a swap, a mint, or a vault deposit.
Destination actions run in sequence within the same transaction and revert together if any one fails, although a failure at the destination cannot revert a bridge already finalized at the origin.
Callbacks can also contain new bridges. This enables nested routes where the result of an operation at the destination becomes the input for another bridge toward a third network.
For example, a user with USDC on Berachain who wants to deposit into a vault on that same network a stablecoin that can only be minted on Ethereum does not need to execute each step separately. Enso connects the bridge to Ethereum, the stablecoin mint, the return bridge, and the vault deposit in a single route initiated from the origin chain.
Products That Benefit
The fees for the complete flow are calculated at the initial request, giving the user visibility over the total cost without needing to fund each step separately. Four protocols already have support: Chainlink CCIP, Circle CCTP, Relay, and Stargate, each with different capabilities in terms of tokens, callback size, and finalization model. For simple flows, the system selects the route automatically; for specific requirements, the Bundle API allows manual bridge designation.
Enso directly benefits different types of products. Wallets can offer direct access to remote vaults and positions without redirecting the user to external applications. DeFi protocols can attract users and capital from other networks starting from the asset the user already holds. Asset issuers concentrate their minting infrastructure on a primary chain and distribute from there across multiple ecosystems without replicating contracts.
