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.

On Thursday, Nansen’s Solana overview page showed the fast and cheap blockchain had 1.31 million “unique 1-day visitors.” Decentralized exchange (DEX) Serum accounted for 32% of “program executions.”
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 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.
