Stephen Sargeant interviews Alex Svanevik, CEO and co-founder of Nansen, on how the company evolved from NFT-era analytics into an AI-native, full-stack on-chain trading product that combines real-time intelligence, execution, and portfolio tracking in one self-custodial experience. Alex discusses his AI background, Nansen’s “New Way 2030” pillars, and how agentic workflows are changing engineering and other roles. They cover Nansen’s address-labeling at scale for smart-money tracking, the shift to a conversational interface, and “vibe trading” with a trust ladder from copilot research to greater automation. Alex also addresses Nansen’s positioning as a technology provider (not a custodial exchange), revisits his viral Singapore PR rejection story, explains the NXA8 tokenized Layer-1 index with OpenDelta, and shares his view that tokenization and agents will reshape finance and software.
