Nansen Launches AI-Powered Crypto Trading

Blockchain analytics platform Nansen announced on January 21 that it has officially launched an AI-powered, integrated trading solution across its web and mobile applications, marking the company’s first major expansion beyond pure on-chain analytics.

The new product allows users to move seamlessly from market analysis to trade execution within a single platform, eliminating the need to rely on multiple external tools.

From On-Chain Analysis to In-App Trade Execution

At the core of the launch is a conversational AI assistant introducing what Nansen calls “vibe trading.” Using data from more than 500 million labeled blockchain wallets, the AI provides interactive trading ideas and insights, while allowing users to execute trades directly within the app.

Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik described the launch as “the most important product since the company was founded.” He emphasized that years of proprietary analytics infrastructure now enable users to complete the full trading workflow from insight to execution without leaving the platform.

The move was driven by user demand to reduce friction between analysis and execution. According to Nansen’s internal research, specialized crypto-focused AI models consistently outperform general-purpose AI tools in trading-related tasks.

This was demonstrated during Nansen’s autonomous trading competition in November 2025, where its proprietary model outperformed general AI systems such as Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, largely due to its deep, native access to on-chain data.

Supported Networks, Liquidity, and Fees

At launch, the integrated trading feature supports Solana (SOL) and Base.

  • Solana trades are routed through Jupiter for liquidity
  • Base trades use OKX DEX
  • Cross-chain swaps are powered by LI.FI

The trading infrastructure is built on Privy’s wallet system, removing the need for browser extensions and significantly improving usability, especially for mobile users and beginners.

Nansen’s fee structure is set as follows:

  • Free users: 0.25% per trade
  • Pro subscribers: 0.10% per trade

For active traders, the lower Pro-tier fee offers meaningful cost savings over time.

Safety, Controls, and Regional Restrictions

The AI assistant operates strictly within predefined parameters, and all trades require explicit user approval. The AI does not have direct access to user funds, ensuring that asset custody remains fully under user control.

Due to regulatory restrictions, the service is currently unavailable in certain jurisdictions, including Singapore and Russia. Nansen stated that it plans to gradually expand network support and regional availability going forward.
