What is terminal trading vs agentic trading in Nansen?

  • Agentic trading: Surface Smart Money and token signals by asking our agent anything about onchain. Then in the same chat, execute on that high-conviction signal, all on one product. The future of trading looks like this.

  • Trading terminal: A trading terminal now integrated into the Nansen workflow. Surface a signal and execute for any token on Solana, Base, Robinhood and BNB chain. Track smart money perps and execute a trade for any perps pair on Hyperliquid.

What's the difference between trading in the web app and mobile app?

On both web and mobile, you have options to execute swaps.

What if a trade fails?

The routing aggregator automatically tries alternative routes if the first one fails. If all routes fail, you'll see a clear error message explaining why, for example:

Your funds are safe. Failed transactions revert - nothing gets stuck or lost. You can:

  • Adjust slippage settings and try again
