What Nansen does well

Where Nansen still makes sense

Nansen is not a bad product. It has real strengths:

  • Industry-leading wallet labeling and smart money tracking.
  • Multi-chain coverage with deep wallet intelligence.
  • Strong brand and widely used by funds and traders.

The question is whether those strengths matter more to you than transparent pricing, gasless execution, MEV protection, and surplus return.
