In a landmark move poised to redefine the landscape of blockchain analytics, Nansen has announced its strategic integration with Chiliz, the vanguard Layer-1 blockchain tailored for the sports and entertainment sectors, and zkSync, a leading Layer-2 scaling solution enhancing Ethereum’s capabilities. This integration aims to amalgamate the rich on-chain data and analytics from Chiliz and zkSync into Nansen’s robust analytical platform, offering users unprecedented insights into these dynamic blockchain ecosystems.
Nansen’s integration with Chiliz and zkSync is set to enrich its platform with a breadth of on-chain data, augmenting its advanced analytics features. This includes the Macro Data Dashboard and Query tool among others, poised to offer comprehensive insights and analytics. This enhancement in analytical coverage promises users a dual advantage by facilitating a deeper understanding of both the Chiliz and zkSync ecosystems through a single, cohesive interface.
As a result, it will streamline access to robust analytics and market intelligence crucial for informed decision-making. Chiliz has been at the forefront of blockchain’s integration into the sports industry, establishing partnerships with over 70 leading global sports teams and launching popular fan tokens like PSG, JUV, and ACM. This move has significantly boosted fan engagement and revolutionized digital experiences within the sports realm.
Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios, expressed enthusiasm about the integration, stating, “Integrating with Nansen enables us to offer on-chain insights about our ecosystem to both our users and the wider DeFi communities. This collaboration will deepen the understanding of the Chiliz ecosystem, encouraging its growth and broader adoption. We’re thrilled to elevate SportFi with Nansen’s support.”
Advancing with Growth and Innovation
zkSync’s role in this tripartite collaboration underscores its significant strides in scaling Ethereum, managing over a million transactions daily across more than 350k addresses. This development underlines zkSync’s essential contribution to Ethereum’s ecosystem and its expanding adoption curve. Omar Azhar, Head of Business Development at Matter Labs, highlighted the value of this integration.
He mentioned, “The integration of zkSync by Nansen, one of the premier blockchain analytics platforms, will add tremendous value for both the existing zkSync community and the Web3 space at large. The great benefit of permissionless blockchains such as zkSync is that all the data is public and contains valuable insights for builders, investors, and end-users alike. However, without platforms like Nansen that can process and label this data, it is not digestible or actionable.”
With the Socios app facilitating over 6 million on-chain transactions in the past year on the Chiliz network, fan engagement with tokens such as PSG, JUV, and ACM is soaring. Concurrently, zkSync has witnessed a consistent increase in daily active addresses and transactions since its mainnet launch in March 2023, showcasing the growing infrastructure, gaming, and DeFi dApps activity on its network.
Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen, remarked on the importance of these partnerships, stating, “We are excited to integrate both Chiliz and zkSync. This marks another step forward in advancing Nansen’s mission to surface the signal for our users. By empowering these ecosystems with industry-leading on-chain data and analytics, both users and crypto teams will be empowered to make more informed decisions. These integrations will further the growth and adoption of the networks, helping to create winners in the future of finance”
This strategic integration underscores Nansen’s commitment to innovation and excellence in blockchain analytics, solidifying its position as a key player in the industry. With the Macro Data Dashboard now accessible, users can enjoy a streamlined and intuitive experience in obtaining vital blockchain insights, further empowering the crypto and blockchain communities.
