Nansen is also making its first foray into validating for a major layer-1 blockchain. The firm is joining the proof-of-liquidity-powered blockchain Berachain as a validator ahead of EVM-compatible blockchain’s upcoming mainnet.

By integrating our expertise with Nansen’s advanced analytics capabilities, we are setting the stage for a more integrated and powerful user platform. Together, we look forward to empowering investors with the tools and insights required to not only better navigate but thrive in the digital asset space.”
Nansen is also introducing the NSN points program, a loyalty program designed to reward its community of stakers and subscribers.
Set to launch in 2025, the program will retrospectively reward eligible stakers and subscribers for the time since they started engaging with the Nansen platform through activities like staking, subscribing, and participating in community initiatives.
