Nansen raised a mighty $75 million in a funding round in December 2021 led by Accel. The company made its first investment in an outside organization, gaming analytics firm ZeroDrop, in April 2022.
Earlier last month, Nansen announced its new web3 messaging app “Nansen Connect”. Now the long-awaited Solana integration has just gone live. Nansen has been criticised for being an “Ethereum-heavy platform” and the Solana integration has been long awaited by its users.
The data, which includes trade volumes, wallet analysis and minting dashboards, is sourced from the network’s two most popular marketplaces, Magic Eden and OpenSea, which collectively host more than 95% of all Solana NFT transactions.

Users of Nansen Connect will be able to log in with their crypto wallets and choose a username based on their unique Nansen wallet labels. Individuals will then be able to join groups based on their crypto holdings and on-chain behaviors. Users will also be able to send DMs to other members, which will be securely encrypted end-to-end. Notably, individuals will be able to monitor key collection statistics and the user holding information in real-time.
Other features of Nansen Connect will allow users to see another individual’s crypto net worth, as well as the funds in a project’s treasury, or find out if an influencer has dumped token holdings, lowering the risk of scams. The Nansen Connect Beta version will primarily focus on profile picture (PFP) communities and users, as well as label-based communities and end-to-end encrypted direct messages.

The new NFT dashboards will provide insights into market-related data including top collections traded, profit leaderboards, latest minting activity, and minting leaderboards.
The dashboards will also include NFT God Mode, which enables users to zoom into specific collections to gain insights on when a contract was deployed and number of NFTs in circulation, average price & volume and distribution of individual transactions.
The NFT Wallet Provider NFT gives users the ability to look up the trading portfolios and the profits of any collection. Additional market data will also be provided, including breakdowns of contracts, holders, and trades.
Paul Harwood, Product Manager at Nansen, stated: “Given the current macro conditions along with the fact that NFT investing/trading can be highly speculative, we believe that the availability of NFT-related on-chain data can assist users in carrying out due diligence and making informed decisions.”
