About Nansen

Nansen is a comprehensive blockchain analytics platform designed to provide transparency into the complex world of on-chain transactions. By enriching raw blockchain data with millions of wallet labels, it allows users to see who is moving funds, which tokens are gaining traction, and where 'Smart Money' is flowing. The platform serves as a bridge between technical data and actionable insights, offering real-time dashboards and alerts that help users stay ahead of market trends and perform due diligence on digital assets. The platform operates by aggregating data from public ledgers and applying sophisticated heuristics and algorithms to categorize addresses. A key feature is 'Token God Mode,' which provides a deep dive into any specific coin, including DEX trades, latest transactions, and whale movements. Additionally, Nansen 2 introduces agentic trading capabilities, allowing users to interact with the data through a conversational AI interface. This agent can surface signals, monitor markets, and execute trades directly from a mobile device, significantly simplifying the research-to-execution workflow. Nansen is primarily built for serious crypto investors, trading funds, and DeFi professionals who require high-precision data for portfolio defense and alpha generation. It is particularly valuable for those looking to detect early warning signs of liquidity drains, as evidenced by its documented use in helping funds exit positions during major market events. The tool's focus on identifying entities and behaviors rather than just anonymous addresses makes it an essential resource for fundamental and technical analysis in the digital asset space. What distinguishes Nansen from other analytics tools is its extensive and proprietary wallet labeling system, where over 99% of labels are algorithmically inferred with a focus on high precision. Its Smart Alerts system is widely regarded as a benchmark for real-time signal detection. By combining research, investigations, and user submissions, Nansen creates a network effect where every new label improves the accuracy of the entire database, providing a level of depth that fragmented on-chain tools struggle to match.

Nansen FAQs

How does Nansen obtain its wallet labels?

Nansen uses a combination of heuristics, algorithms, smart-contract parsing, and manual research to label addresses. Over 99% of these labels are algorithmically inferred with a focus on high precision to avoid incorrect identifications.

Does Nansen compromise the privacy of individual users?

The platform focuses on entities and public figures rather than private individuals. While it includes public data like ENS names, it highlights information already in the public domain and educates users on the privacy risks of public blockchains.

What is the Agentic Trading feature available on mobile?

Agentic Trading is a conversational AI tool that allows users to ask questions about on-chain activity to surface token signals. It enables users to execute trades instantly through an integrated agent that follows the user's research workflow.

What can I do with the Smart Alerts feature?

Smart Alerts allow users to set up real-time notifications for specific on-chain movements or fund flows. This helps investors detect early warning signs, such as liquidity pools being drained, allowing them to exit positions early.

What are the trading fees on Nansen?

Trading fees are determined by your subscription tier. Free users are charged 0.25% per trade, while Pro users benefit from a reduced fee of 0.10%.
