Cluster Protocol × Enso: Intent-Based DeFi Actions for Agentic Builders

Why Intent-Based DeFi Needs More Than Just Protocols
If a builder wants to ship "swap → deposit → stake" or "loop a position safely," the hard part isn't the idea, it's stitching together:
- approvals, routing, protocol-specific calls.
- multi-step bundles that must execute atomically.
- edge cases (slippage, health factor, reverts, partial fills).
That's where intent-based middleware wins cause it turns "what I want to happen" into "here's the executable path to make it happen."
On Enso's side, this is the core promise: no manual integrations and a shared execution engine built around Actions + Shortcuts.
Shared Direction
Cluster focuses on orchestration, helping builders and agentic systems coordinate workflows and execution without turning every product into a custom ops pipeline.
Enso focuses on execution, mapping on-chain interactions into reusable building blocks (Actions) and composable bundles (Shortcuts).
Together, this partnership aims to make DeFi features feel like native modules inside CodeXero.
Core Synergies
1) Co-marketing to activate builders
We'll initiate co-marketing activities that are designed to be builder-proof (read: show real flows, not generic announcements):
- joint demos and builder templates ("prompt → DeFi flow").
- short technical explainers and workshops.
- ecosystem spotlights with teams already building intent-based features.
This matters because Enso is already positioned as a builder surface with traction across apps/protocols/developers.
2) Enso API/SDK integration inside CodeXero
Enso will share technical documentation so Cluster can integrate Enso's API/SDK, letting CodeXero builders utilize Enso's execution layer directly.
What this unlocks in practice:
- Builders can call DeFi Actions like lend / borrow / swap as standardized primitives.
- Builders can compose those into Shortcuts (bundles) that behave like production-grade "strategy blocks."
- Cluster can ship prebuilt templates that abstract away integrations, so builders focus on product logic + distribution, not protocol wiring.
What This Enables
For Builders
- "DeFi features" as Lego blocks: swap, stake, deposit, lend, borrow, without writing custom integrations each time.
- Strategy-like bundles (looping, migrations, rebalancing) that can be shipped as composable Shortcuts instead of fragile multi-tx scripts.
- Faster iteration cycles: ship templates, fork them, remix them, launch.
For the DeFi & Agent ecosystem
- A clean separation between orchestration (Cluster + CodeXero) and execution (Enso), which is exactly how scalable stacks are built.
- A practical path to "agentic DeFi": agents decide what to do; Enso executes how to do it; builders own the product layer.
About Enso
Enso is an intent-based on-chain execution layer built around Actions (atomic interactions) and Shortcuts (composable bundles).
Enso reports traction across 100+ apps, 250+ protocols, and 1,900 developers building with Enso.
It's also publicly positioned with backing from top crypto investors including Polychain Capital, Multicoin Capital, Spartan, and Hypersphere Ventures.
About Cluster
Cluster is the decentralized AI infrastructure powering the Liberation Engine for Internet Capital Markets.
It provides verifiable compute, privacy-preserving execution, and modular AI orchestration, enabling developers to turn natural-language prompts into production-grade, tokenized dApps via CodeXero, Cluster's AI-native IDE.
