Enso Build alternative for stablecoin buys across networks
Unigox's Trade API is an Enso Build alternative for wallets whose users buy a token on another network with a stablecoin, refunded on that network if a buy fails. Stay with Enso for DeFi deposits, custom bundles or self-serve access.
When to stay with Enso
Users enter DeFi positions, not only tokens
Enso's Route API moves a user into a vault, an LP or a tokenised position in one transaction, and Enso Earn packages venues such as Aave, Morpho and Pendle for a yield tab. The Trade API buys a token; selling it later is a separate swap on the network where it is held.
Your product writes its own sequence
The Bundle API runs an ordered list of actions your team picks, such as borrow, repay, harvest or claim, with checks and custom callbacks after a bridge. On the Trade API your team picks the assets and Unigox runs the purchase.
You want a self-serve key and your own fee rules
Enso issues keys in its Developer Portal at 10 requests per second by default. Once you sign its fee agreement there, your fee rules can differ by chain, token, pair or trade size, and Enso splits each fee with you. Trade API access starts with a review by Unigox.
Enso routes and Trade API buys, side by side
Read across for one purchase, a tokenised stock for example: a stablecoin on one network turned into a token on another, signed from the user's wallet.
| Topic | Enso | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds and runs the buy | Enso finds the path and returns a signer-ready transaction: a swap before the bridge, or a bridge over CCIP, Relay or Stargate with a callback that buys on the destination chain. Your app submits it unchanged. | Unigox carries the stablecoin to the token's network and makes the purchase there. Your backend asks for the quote and your app shows the outcome. |
| What the user signs | From an ordinary wallet, an approval of Enso's router whenever the allowance falls short, then the transaction. Smart wallets on Enso's delegate strategy skip the approval. | The stablecoin transfer, after your app shows the price from the quote: the delivered amount and the gas charge. The token arrives at the user's existing address. |
| What the quote returns | A simulated output, a minimum set by your slippage or one you pass, a gas estimate, price impact and the bridge fees, each marked as taken from the output or not. | The amount delivered, the gas charge and a deadline. |
| If the destination buy fails | A failure on the destination chain cannot undo the source transaction. Where the funds end up depends on the bridge: Relay refunds on the source chain, less gas; a failed Stargate or CCIP callback pays a recipient on the destination chain, named in the status check. | Stablecoin back on the destination network, at the receiver's address. Gas spent by a failed attempt there is the only cut, no more than the quote's gas charge. |
| Tracking the buy | A separate status check for each bridge, reporting pending, in flight, delivered or failed, and on some bridges ready for manual execution. Each key may poll once every 10 seconds. | Your app reads one result: the token received, or the refund and where it landed. |
| Fees and your revenue | Fee rules you set in the Developer Portal, split with Enso 50/50 by default and paid in the trade's own transaction, or to a splitter contract on chains where Enso runs one for you. Enso's own platform fee applies where your agreement sets one. | A share of trading revenue, agreed before you start; the quote shows the user the delivered amount and the gas charge. |
| Getting access | An API key from the Developer Portal with a monthly credit quota; quota errors point to plan upgrades there. Plan prices are not published. | Access follows a review, not a portal sign-up: request it on the Trade API page, and Unigox checks the assets and networks, agrees terms and runs a first purchase with your team. |
UnigoxMove Enso buy routes to the Trade API
List the buys you route through Enso
Request access on the Trade API page with the tokens and networks your users buy with a stablecoin through Enso. Unigox confirms each pair and agrees terms; your deposits and bundles stay on Enso.
Replace the route request with a quote
For those buys your backend requests a Unigox quote instead of an Enso route. The app shows the delivered amount, gas charge and deadline, then the user signs the stablecoin transfer.
Drop the per-bridge status polling
These buys no longer need a status check per bridge. Your app reads the Trade API result and shows the token received, or the stablecoin refund and the network it reached.
Questions about Enso Build alternatives
What does Enso Finance do, and where does the Trade API fit?
Enso builds transactions for DeFi actions that an app hands its user to sign: swaps, vault deposits, multi-step bundles and cross-chain routes. The Trade API covers one part of that: buying a token on another network with a stablecoin.
See the Trade APIHow do I get an Enso Build API key, and what are its limits?
Create one in Enso's Developer Portal and send it as a bearer token. The default limit is 10 requests per second with a monthly credit quota, and bridge status checks are limited to one every 10 seconds per key.
What happens when an Enso cross-chain route fails?
A destination failure cannot undo the source transaction. Relay pays a refund on the source chain, less gas; for a failed Stargate or CCIP callback, the status check names the token and recipient the funds went to. A funded Trade API buy that cannot complete ends in stablecoin on the destination network.
Does Enso offer tokenised stocks?
Yes, on its own trading page: tokenised equity exposure through Ondo Global Markets, executed through Enso's routing. With the Trade API, your users buy tokenised stocks and other assets inside your app, from the list Unigox confirms with you.
