Blockchain analytics platform Nansen launched AI-powered trade execution capabilities on January 21, marking a strategic expansion from passive market analysis into active transaction facilitation across Base and Solana (SOL) networks.
The new feature enables users to execute trades through conversational commands in Nansen's mobile application rather than navigating traditional charting interfaces, with the AI agent drawing on the platform's database of over 500 million labeled wallet addresses.
Users can input natural language prompts like "buy trending tokens on Solana" to trigger trades that route through Jupiter decentralized exchange aggregator and OKX exchange infrastructure, according to company announcements.
What Happened
The trading feature integrates with Nansen's existing analytics infrastructure, allowing users to identify on-chain signals through "Smart Money" wallet tracking and immediately execute trades without switching platforms.
Cross-chain execution support relies on Jupiter (JUP) for Solana transactions and LI.FI protocol for Base network trades, with additional blockchain networks planned for future expansion.
The embedded Nansen Wallet, powered by Privy's self-custodial architecture, handles transaction signing and asset custody without requiring external wallet connections.
Geographical restrictions exclude users in Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, and parts of Ukraine due to regulatory constraints.

Why It Matters
The launch represents a strategic pivot for Nansen, which built its reputation providing institutional-grade blockchain analytics to over one million users during six years of operation.
By combining real-time smart money tracking with immediate execution capabilities, Nansen aims to compress the research-to-trade workflow that traditionally required multiple platform switches between analytics dashboards and exchange interfaces.
The conversational trading interface reflects broader industry experimentation with AI-assisted execution, following similar launches from established platforms seeking to lower technical barriers for retail participation.
Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik positioned the feature as "closing the loop" between identifying market opportunities through on-chain analysis and acting on those signals within a unified product environment.
The timing coincides with growing interest in AI trading agents across cryptocurrency markets, though Nansen differentiates its offering by anchoring the AI's responses in its proprietary wallet labeling system rather than general-purpose language models.
