Delivers real-time sentiment and Smart Money tracking
Accelerates internal research workflows
Used for fund-grade market validation and alpha surfacing
“So far Nansen has been a great addition to our research flow for onchain money flows and sentiment analysis. I would highly recommend it as a tool for investors and builders.”
— Bubba, Elixir Capital
The Problem
Bubba works at a fund focused on early-stage investments in the digital asset space across the UAE. Their job: distill fast-moving market activity into clear insights for smarter portfolio positioning.
Before Nansen, the team’s process involved:
- Manually identifying trending topics
- Launching internal tools to surface tokens
- Running live queries for wallet and flow data
“We’d ping our agent to fetch live market data and try to lock up the story before others spotted it.”
They were especially focused on institutional and retail money flows — but lacked a systematic way to surface and confirm them.
The Solution
To bring structure to the chaos, the fund deployed Nansen’s API to support a system they call the “agent swarm”: a coordinated stack of bots and tools built to monitor onchain activity and generate early alpha.
Using Nansen’s structured endpoints, the team plugged in:
- Spot and peer flows from Smart Money
- Real-time wallet movement
- Sentiment trends across retail vs institutional activity
“It’s been great to see confirmation on our internal thesis and research backed up with Nansen data points.”
Setup was quick — the API was “easy to integrate” into their agent swarm and delivered immediate lift.
The Results
Nansen’s API enabled the team to move with greater speed and confidence:
1. Faster analysis of market movements
2. Smarter identification of Smart Money flows
3. Validation of internal narratives before acting
“The speed at which you can aggregate market data using the API is awesome.”
Today, the API supports the fund’s internal dashboards, investment research, and deal thesis validation. For analysts moving fast in a noisy market, it became a trusted signal source.
