nansen-token-research

nansen-token-research is a skill for Claude Code from nansen-ai/nansen-cli. It costs 57 tokens per session (736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cryptocurrency token research workflow for examining one token in detail, including price history, holders, wallet flows, decentralised-exchange trades, profit and loss, and perpetual-futures activity. Perpetual futures are contracts that track an asset’s price without a fixed expiry date.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research token information, chart data, holders, buying and selling activity, exchange trades, trader profit and loss, and related futures positions.
Why use it?
It gathers the main market and wallet evidence for a token in one investigation instead of requiring separate manual checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nansen-token-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Token Deep Dive

All commands: nansen research token <sub> [options]

--chain required for spot endpoints. Use --token <address> for token-specific endpoints.

Info & Price

nansen research token info --token <addr> --chain solana
nansen research token ohlcv --token <addr> --chain solana --timeframe 1h

Timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M

Holders

nansen research token holders --token <addr> --chain solana
nansen research token holders --token <addr> --chain solana --smart-money

Flows

nansen research token flows --token <addr> --chain solana --days 7
nansen research token flow-intelligence --token <addr> --chain solana
nansen research token who-bought-sold --token <addr> --chain solana

flow-intelligence breaks down by label: whales, smart traders, exchanges, fresh wallets, public figures.

DEX Trades

nansen research token dex-trades --token <addr> --chain solana --limit 20

PnL

nansen research token pnl --token <addr> --chain solana --sort total_pnl_usd:desc

Perps (no --chain)

nansen research token perp-trades --symbol ETH --days 7
nansen research token perp-positions --symbol BTC
nansen research token perp-pnl-leaderboard --symbol SOL

Flags

Flag Purpose
--chain Required for spot endpoints (ethereum, solana, base, etc.)
--token Token address (alias: --token-address)
--symbol Token symbol for perp endpoints (e.g. BTC)
--timeframe OHLCV interval
--smart-money Filter to SM wallets only (holders)
--days Lookback period (default 30)
--sort Sort field:direction (e.g. total_pnl_usd:desc)
--fields Select specific fields
--table Human-readable table output
--format csv CSV export

Notes

  • Perp endpoints use --symbol (e.g. BTC), not --token.
  • holders --smart-money returns UNSUPPORTED_FILTER for tokens without SM tracking.
  • flow-intelligence may return all-zero flows for illiquid tokens.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
