Nansen rolls out AI chat trading on Base and Solana

Nansen unveiled AI-driven chat trading in its mobile app, letting users execute crypto trades through natural-language prompts. The launch starts with support for Base and Solana as the analytics firm expands into onchain trade execution. Access begins Wednesday for eligible users.

The company describes the interface as a system of autonomous AI agents that interpret conversational commands and place orders. Alongside the mobile chat experience, a web-based trading terminal is available.

According to Nansen, the tool draws on its onchain database, which includes hundreds of millions of labeled blockchain addresses, to surface trading signals and market context before orders are submitted. The workflow combines analytics with automated execution while keeping final control with the user, a mode it refers to as “vibe trading.”

Initial network support covers Base and Solana, with plans to add more. For cross-chain execution between those ecosystems, integrations include decentralized exchange aggregator Jupiter, crypto exchange OKX and cross-chain protocol LI.FI. Trades run through the embedded Nansen Wallet, which uses Privy’s self-custodied wallet infrastructure.

Geographic restrictions apply due to regulatory considerations. Residents of Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia and parts of Ukraine are excluded, the company noted.

“For years, Nansen has focused on surfacing high-quality onchain signals for investors,” co-founder and CEO Alex Svanevik noted. “This launch allows users to act on those insights directly within our product.” He described the release as “closing the loop” by enabling trade execution in an AI-native conversational mobile interface and a web trading terminal.

Nansen positions the AI interface as more crypto-specific than general-purpose chatbots, asserting that access to labeled onchain data can improve the relevance and reliability of trading insights. The feature targets retail participants seeking simpler access to onchain markets.

AI-assisted trading has drawn growing interest across digital assets as firms test automated strategies and chat-based order entry. In 2025, an autonomous trading competition found that lower-cost Chinese AI models, including QWEN3 MAX and DeepSeek, outperformed several larger Western systems in crypto trading tasks, with QWEN3 the only model to post positive returns.
