Crypto data service Nansen announced Thursday that it is adding support for transactions on the Solana blockchain.

In a press statement, the startup pointed to Solana’s growth across non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The integration will “help to identify emerging” trends on both fronts, it said.

Nansen’s wallet-sleuthing services have attracted traders and venture firms for deciphering crypto’s transparent, albeit befuddling, on-chain transactions.

It raised $75 million late last year to fund an aggressive expansion campaign.

There’s massive demand for on-chain tooling and other wallet trackers are also eyeing growth. Wednesday, the startup Context raised $19.5 million from venture backers.

“There has been huge demand to launch a Solana dashboard,” Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik said in a press release.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
