Blockchain intelligence platform Nansen has announced the launch of Nansen AI, an artificial intelligence agent designed to deliver portfolio‑aware, on‑chain trading insights through natural conversation.
The product rollout positions Nansen AI as an alternative to traditional dashboards and charts, aiming to make crypto trading more intuitive across Ethereum and 25 other major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains. The company said the system relies on its proprietary dataset of over 500 million labeled wallet addresses, which it claims provides sharper insights than general‑purpose AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude.

Conversational interface for crypto research
According to Logan Brinkley, Nansen’s head of product UX and design, the platform is launching in phases, beginning with research and decision‑support.
“We’re starting with research and insights first, helping users discover and decide faster,” Brinkley said. “Execution is on the roadmap, but we want to validate the core loop, improve the agent, and build trust before introducing trading flows.”
When trading functionality becomes available, the AI agent will act only as a co‑pilot: preparing orders for user approval but never executing automatically.
“Users will always give final confirmation before anything is executed,” Brinkley emphasized.
At launch, Nansen AI supports embedded, self‑custodial wallets, allowing users to query their portfolios directly and receive context‑aware insights about holdings, performance, and network activity.
How the agent differs from existing tools
Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik said the conversational AI agent reflects a shift from chart‑based market analysis to interactive dialogue.
“For years, investors have relied on dashboards and static charts to make sense of markets,” he explained. “Nansen AI delivers insights through natural conversation and is directly connected to an investor’s portfolio, enabling it to analyze performance drivers in real time.”
He added that agent‑based crypto trading will eventually feel “as natural as mobile banking is today.”
The AI system is currently powered by Anthropic’s Claude model, but Nansen is testing multiple architectures to find the most effective setup for on‑chain applications. The chatbot operates in two response modes, quick and expert, and is updated continuously with blockchain data.
Market context and industry reactions
Justin Sun, founder of the Tron Network, said that Nansen’s initiative highlights the role of AI agents in shaping blockchain adoption:
“AI agents will play a central role in the digital asset ecosystem, transforming how market participants access and interpret information.”
Similar autonomous systems are already being tested on blockchain. On the Virtuals Protocol, an AI program known as Luna recently carried out an agent‑to‑agent transaction for image generation.
The rise of AI‑driven market tools is attracting interest from investors. At Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong, representatives from Pantera Capital and Dragonfly Capital noted that while venture firms are monitoring AI trading agents, capital deployment in the sector remains cautious.
Roadmap ahead
Nansen expects to introduce AI‑assisted trading execution by Q4 2025, once user validation and safety systems are in place. The company also confirmed that pricing for its services has been reduced. Entry‑level subscriptions dropped from $99 to $69 per month in tandem with the Nansen AI launch.
Brinkley said the long‑term goal is to make the AI assistant feel like “a research team in your pocket.”
