This allows traders to gain a deeper understanding of the crypto ecosystem and make real-time decisions based on the data that truly matters. [2]
"After years of working with blockchain data, we found that many of our clients wanted the same thing: to know more about the wallets that are transacting on-chain. So we started building Nansen in 2019 to address this need, and have quickly become a leading provider of data and analytics for Ethereum." - the co-founders on why they built Nansen[6]
