Final Lap: Proof of Humanity in the Shortcut Speedrun
The Enso Speedrun has been one of the wildest experiments in crypto this year.
Over 1M racers joined. Leaderboards lit up with activity. Shortcuts, the building blocks of Enso, were pushed to their limit, and they proved themselves.
For weeks, the Speedrun has been alive with energy: real people building, sharing, competing, and discovering what happens when blockchain complexity gets abstracted into something anyone can use.
But every great race has its final lap.
Why Proof of Humanity
The Speedrun was always meant to belong to the community. It’s a celebration of what Enso enables: instead of being locked into one chain or one app, you can tap into the entire onchain world in minutes. Swaps, vaults, bridges, cross-chain swaps, all of it, available through shortcuts.
That’s what makes the Speedrun so powerful: it shows how fast things move when builders integrate Enso.
But with any open competition comes a problem: sybils. Fake accounts that farm points, flood the system, and try to steal what the real community has built.
We’re not letting that happen.
That’s why we’re rolling out Zealy’s Proof of Humanity (PoH). One check, one badge of legitimacy.
How it works
Verification is simple:
- Complete the one-time PoH check with Zealy
- Earn the Verified Racer role in Discord
- Get a ✅ checkmark on your Speedrun profile and leaderboard position
This step is mandatory. Only verified racers will lock in their records when the Speedrun closes.
The Speedrun will end in the coming weeks, and PoH must be completed by the time it ends.
Community First Approach
Our community has always been at the heart of Enso.
Every shortcut taken, every mission completed, every NOS earned, it only matters if it’s real.
We follow the same approach in every step we take. When we opened our Community Round on CoinList, we did it on better terms and at a better price than any VC received, and you answered with an oversubscribed sale.
Beyond the Speedrun
Enso is building the unified network layer for blockchains.
Today, every chain lives in its own silo. Each one rebuilds the same infrastructure: bridges, stablecoins, liquidity, integrations. Developers waste months duplicating work just to connect to what already exists somewhere else.
Enso changes that.
By abstracting actions into Shortcuts, Enso lets builders compose across every ecosystem from a single engine. Swap on one chain, deposit into a vault on another, bridge liquidity wherever it’s needed, all as if it were one environment.
For end users, that means access. For builders, that means speed.
For the industry, it means composability finally works the way it was always meant to.
What’s Next
When the Speedrun closes, something bigger begins.
Verification through Proof of Humanity ensures that when rewards are distributed, they go to the right people: the ones who showed up, contributed, and built.
And for those who weren’t here yet? You'll get their chance soon.
