Today, Nansen announced the acquisition of StakeWithUs, a provider of staking services.
This is a strategic acquisition that aims to mark a significant step in Nansen’s journey, as the company is moving to expand its service offerings aimed at both retail and institutional clients.
Cryptocurrency staking arrives on Nansen
Thanks to this acquisition, Nansen will integrate staking on its onchain analysis platform, so that its users will be able to stake their crypto assets onchain directly through Nansen.
At the time of the service launch, the Nansen platform will offer users non-custodial staking for over 20 different cryptocurrencies, such as Solana, Sui, Celestia, Dydx, Akash, Cosmos, Osmosis, Band, Skale, Certik, Persistence, Kava, Celer, Archway, Passage, and Agoric.
This integration promotes Nansen’s goal of becoming the main platform for on-chain investors, consolidating a wide range of tools and services in one place.
Their platform indeed already provides in-depth analysis on over 20 blockchains, but over time users will also be provided with tools to evaluate performance and stake their assets on a diversified selection of tokens.
The new Berachain network
Moreover, the company will also add new blockchains within its platform, including Berachain. In fact, Nansen will be one of the first validators on the upcoming Berachain mainnet.
Berachain is a high-performance layer-1 blockchain compatible with EVM, powered by Proof-of-Liquidity consensus and supported by the BeaconKit framework.
In fact, it will be the first incursion of Nansen into the validation of a layer-1 blockchain, strengthening the company’s commitment to supporting emerging and high-potential blockchain ecosystems.
Nansen acquires StakeWithUs
The staking provider acquired by Nansen is StakeWithUs.
StakeWithUs is supported by SGinnovate, an innovation platform owned by the government of Singapore, and has established itself in the staking sector by providing secure and reliable staking services for various blockchain networks.
Nansen is a well-known on-chain analysis platform that provides investors with a lot of information regarding various criptovalute and various blockchain.
It also offers advanced analysis based on artificial intelligence, with the aim of helping users navigate the complex world of blockchain and make informed investment decisions.
The NSN Points program
In conjunction with the announcement of the acquisition of StakeWithUs, Nansen also announced the launch of its new NSN Points Program.
This is a loyalty program designed to reward the community of stakers and subscribers of Nansen, offering them exclusive benefits and incentives for their continued support and commitment.
The launch of NSN Points is scheduled for 2025, but it will retroactively award points to all eligible stakers and subscribers from the beginning of their commitment with Nansen. Points can be accumulated through various activities on the platform, including staking, subscriptions, and participation in community initiatives.
The points can then be redeemed for a series of rewards, including premium features, exclusive insights, and more.
