How do Permissionless Rewards work?
When you activate Permissionless Rewards, you'll choose a wallet address to connect with your Points balance on a public registry. This creates an open gateway for crypto projects to automatically recognize and reward your Nansen loyalty—completely permissionless and frictionless.
This information is used exclusively for reward distribution. Nansen will not use these addresses for labeling or any other analytics purposes. Your privacy remains protected.
Do I have to use my main wallet for Permissionless Rewards?
Not at all. During activation, you can choose any wallet address you prefer. This gives you complete flexibility to maintain privacy and security while still accessing all the benefits.
When will Permissionless Rewards be available?
Permissionless Rewards began in Season 01 and will continue with every season. Season 02 will bring even more Permissionless Rewards so make sure you’ve connected your wallet.

Go to Points Hub and open up the Rewards Wallets modal up at top.

Can I opt out after activating Permissionless Rewards?
Absolutely. You maintain complete control over your participation journey. Simply remove your wallet from the registry and you'll immediately opt out of future distributions.
What information becomes public when I activate?
Only your chosen wallet, Points balance, tier and active status (active subscriber or active staker) become publicly visible. Your personal information and account details remain completely private.
What types of rewards can I expect?
The sky's the limit. Third-party projects may distribute token allocations, NFTs, and exclusive experiences directly to eligible Points holders. The beauty is that any project can recognize your Nansen Points and reward you accordingly.
