Nansen launches AI trading solutions on Solana and Base, on-chain analytics platform advances into the era of intelligent trading

On January 21, news broke that the on-chain data and analytics platform Nansen announced the official launch of its AI-powered integrated trading solution on both web and mobile platforms, initially supporting Solana and Base networks. This move is seen as Nansen’s comprehensive upgrade from a single data analysis tool to an “analysis + execution” intelligent trading platform, marking its most critical strategic expansion in early 2026.

Nansen stated that the new product is built on its proprietary database of over 500 million tagged wallet addresses, integrating on-chain data insights, trading signals, and actual execution within a single interface, significantly reducing the operational costs for users switching between multiple tools. Nansen co-founder and CEO Alex Svanevik pointed out that Nansen AI can provide data-driven trading advice through a conversational interface or web terminal, allowing users to place orders within the same environment, thus forming a complete on-chain trading loop.

In terms of specific mechanics, the Nansen AI agent operates based on user-defined rules, providing analysis and recommendations for each potential trade. However, all operations still require final user confirmation, and the platform does not custody funds. Token swaps on the Solana network are supported by liquidity from Jupiter, while swaps on the Base chain are completed through a major DEX, with cross-chain routing handled by LI.FI. Funds are settled via an embedded self-custody Nansen wallet, with underlying technology provided by Privy.

It is important to note that this AI trading feature is currently restricted in certain jurisdictions, including Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Russia. Users in compliant regions can already directly access this AI on-chain trading tool.

This release coincides with the rapid development of AI trading and proxy technology in the cryptocurrency space. Industry trends show that integrating AI models with crypto wallets and automating execution strategies have become new directions, but security risks are also increasing. Several research institutions have previously pointed out that automated AI agents could be exploited in complex smart contract environments, potentially amplifying the risk of financial losses.

Against this backdrop, Nansen’s combination of AI with controllable trade execution is seen as an attempt to balance efficiency and risk management. For users interested in the Solana ecosystem, Base DeFi, and on-chain quantitative trading, this AI-driven cryptocurrency trading solution may become one of the key infrastructures to watch in 2026.
