Blockchain analytics firm Nansen has executed a major strategic pivot, launching AI-powered trading functionality across its web and mobile platforms. This move transitions the company from a pure analytics provider to what it terms an "agentic trading" platform, directly connecting real-time on-chain intelligence with trade execution.
The new functionality, now available within Nansen's web terminal and its mobile app, Nansen AI, allows users to identify market opportunities, manage portfolios, and place trades without leaving the platform. Initially, the service supports trading on the Solana and Base blockchains. Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen, stated the launch "closes a long-standing gap between insight and action."
The core of the new product is built upon Nansen's proprietary dataset of more than 500 million labeled wallet addresses. This data powers what the company calls "vibe trading," an intuitive workflow designed to move users seamlessly from analysis to execution. Through the mobile app, users can initiate trades by conversing with an AI agent that interprets live on-chain data and provides data-backed suggestions, though users retain full control over final execution.
Nansen emphasizes that its AI model is purpose-built for on-chain markets, trained specifically on blockchain data rather than being a general-purpose model. The company claims this specialization allows it to outperform broader AI tools in blockchain analysis and trading benchmarks.
To enable cross-chain execution, Nansen has partnered with key infrastructure providers: Jupiter (Solana's leading DEX aggregator), OKX (exchange), and LI.FI (cross-chain bridge). Wallet infrastructure is provided through an embedded, self-custodied Nansen Wallet powered by Privy. Henri Stern, CEO of Privy, highlighted that the integration enables "intelligent, immediate trading while preserving user custody."
The trading service is live now for eligible users, with fees reportedly starting around 0.25% for free-tier users. Access is restricted in certain jurisdictions, including Singapore, Russia, and Iran. The launch coincides with the kickoff of Nansen Points Season 03, featuring rewards from partners like MetaMask.
