Nansen upgrades from an analysis tool to a trading platform, and the AI-driven on-chain trading loop is officially launched.

On-Chain Data Analysis Platform Nansen announced a major product upgrade today: the official launch of AI-powered integrated trading solutions on both web and mobile platforms, initially supporting Solana and Base networks. This not only expands the product’s capabilities but also marks Nansen’s strategic shift from a “pure analysis tool” to an “analysis + execution” intelligent trading platform.

From Data to Execution, a Complete Product Loop

Nansen’s previous positioning in the industry was very clear: providing on-chain data insights through a proprietary database of 500 million tagged wallet addresses. The current upgrade directly transforms these insights into executable trades.

The core logic of the new product is straightforward:

• Data Insight Layer: Identifies trading signals based on Nansen’s on-chain analysis capabilities
• Recommendation Layer: AI provides data-driven trading suggestions via conversational interface or web terminal
• Execution Layer: Users complete order placement within the same environment, forming a complete on-chain trading loop
• Risk Control Layer: All operations require final user confirmation; the platform does not custody funds

The key to this design is the “user confirmation” step. Nansen AI agents operate based on user-defined rules but do not execute automatically, which to some extent mitigates the extreme risks associated with fully automated AI trading.

Ecosystem Integration Behind the Technical Architecture

On the surface, it appears as a feature upgrade, but in reality, it involves complex technical collaboration:

This architecture reflects a trend: a single platform can no longer meet all needs, and ecosystem collaboration has become the new norm. Nansen’s choice to partner with specialized institutions for trade execution rather than building everything in-house is a pragmatic decision.

Why Choose Solana and Base

The selection of these two networks is deliberate. Solana, known for its high speed and low fees, has long been a hotspot for on-chain trading and AI applications; Base, supported by Coinbase as an L2, is rapidly building its DeFi ecosystem. Both chains represent the most active areas in on-chain activity.

From a user perspective, the trading pairs and liquidity on these two chains are sufficient to support AI trading needs.

Industry Context: Accelerating AI Trading and Risks

The timing of this product release is quite interesting. The crypto industry is currently experiencing rapid development in AI trading and automated agents. However, as mentioned in recent news, this growth also brings increased risks: automated AI agents could be exploited in complex smart contract environments, potentially amplifying capital losses.

Nansen seeks a balance between efficiency and risk control. By retaining the user confirmation step, it avoids fully “black box” automatic execution, making it a relatively conservative but more responsible approach.

Compliance and Accessibility

It’s important to note that this feature is restricted in certain jurisdictions, including Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Russia. For users in other regions, this tool is already available for direct use.

Summary

Nansen’s latest upgrade reflects a clear trend in the crypto industry: the boundaries between data and execution are blurring. From Pantera Capital and other funds profiting from on-chain data to now enabling ordinary users to trade based on data, the democratization of the industry is accelerating.

For users interested in the Solana ecosystem, Base DeFi, and on-chain quantitative trading, this AI-driven trading solution is definitely worth paying attention to. But remember, no matter how good the data is, it’s only a reference; the ultimate trading decision still lies with the user. The existence of the confirmation step precisely embodies this principle.
