Onchain analytics firm Nansen has expanded beyond data intelligence with the launch of an AI-powered trade execution system embedded directly into its web and mobile applications. The product is the biggest change for Nansen since it started, as the company goes from providing insights to carrying out transactions.

The launch introduces an integrated interface that allows users to analyze blockchain activity and place trades within a single environment. The feature initially supports Solana and Base, two networks with high transaction throughput and deep decentralized exchange liquidity.

Nansen said the rollout addresses a long-standing inefficiency in crypto markets, where traders often rely on multiple platforms to monitor activity, assess risk, and execute orders.

Analytics and execution converge inside one platform

For years, Nansen built its reputation on labeled wallet intelligence and on-chain signal detection. Its database includes more than 500 million tagged blockchain addresses, which allows users to track capital flows, token accumulation, and smart money behavior.

The new system places execution tools next to those analytics. Users can act on insights without leaving the platform, which shortens response time during volatile market conditions. The company said trades execute through a built-in interface that connects directly to decentralized liquidity sources.

“This is the most significant product launch in Nansen’s history,” said Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen, in a statement. “For years, Nansen has been the best in the world at surfacing high-quality signals for onchain investors. That data foundation is what made Nansen AI, our mobile app, possible. Now, we’re closing the loop by enabling users to execute trades directly in our product, both through an AI-native conversational mobile UX and a trading terminal on the web."

Conversational commands replace traditional order books

The platform introduces what Nansen calls “vibe trading,” a system where users place orders through conversational prompts rather than charts or order forms. Within the mobile app, users enter natural language commands that the AI agent translates into actionable orders.

Nansen said the AI agent provides data-backed suggestions drawn from its proprietary dataset, but requires explicit user approval before any transaction. The system operates under user-defined rules and does not take custody of funds.

“For years, Nansen has focused on surfacing high-quality onchain signals for investors,” Svanevik said in a separate company announcement. “This launch allows users to act on those insights directly within our product.”

Solana and Base serve as first deployment layer

Nansen selected Solana and Base for the initial rollout due to network performance and ecosystem depth. Solana supports high transaction volume at low cost, which suits rapid execution workflows. Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 incubated by Coinbase, offers access to Ethereum liquidity with lower fees.

To support execution, Nansen partnered with liquidity aggregator Jupiter for swaps on Solana and OKX DEX for swaps on Base. Cross-chain routing relies on LI.FI, according to company disclosures.

All transactions pass through the embedded Nansen Wallet, which uses infrastructure from Privy to provide a self-custodied account. The firm said users retain control over private keys at all times.

Availability limited by regulatory constraints

Nansen confirmed that autonomous execution features are available immediately to eligible users, though access excludes residents of certain jurisdictions. Restricted regions include Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, and parts of Ukraine, citing regulatory requirements.

The company did not provide a timeline for broader geographic access.

Industry momentum builds around AI execution tools

Nansen’s launch arrives amid rapid growth in AI-assisted crypto tools across the industry. Coinbase introduced infrastructure in October 2025 that allows AI models such as Claude and Gemini to interact with crypto wallets. The Coinbase-incubated x402 payments protocol followed with a V2 upgrade in December.

At the same time, concerns around autonomous agents continue to surface. Anthropic showed AI agents exploiting 207 of 405 simulated smart contracts deployed between 2020 and 2025, with $550 million in simulated revenue lost. Nansen said its system requires human approval for each transaction, which reduces exposure to fully autonomous execution risk.

Recent testing also showed that lower-cost AI models from China outperformed several larger Western systems in crypto-focused tasks. In a November 2025 autonomous trading competition, QWEN3 MAX and DeepSeek delivered stronger results, with QWEN3 as the only model to post positive returns.

Strategic shift signals broader platform ambitions

By merging analytics, execution, and wallet infrastructure, Nansen positions itself as a full-stack onchain interface rather than a standalone data provider. The design allows for future expansion across additional networks without altering the core workflow.

Company posts on X highlighted non-custodial wallet access, in-app execution across Solana and Base, and future network support tied to its Nansen Points Season 03 program. The firm framed the release as a platform-wide evolution rather than a single feature update.

The launch is a significant change in the crypto infrastructure, where analytics companies are getting closer to execution and user experience is becoming more important to product strategy.
