Nansen Integrates Metis Andromeda to Enhance On-Chain Transparency and Analytics

Nansen has integrated Metis Andromeda, an Ethereum Layer-2 network, into its AI-powered analytics platform, offering a clearer view of on-chain activity within the previously opaque scaling environment [1]. This integration allows for real-time tracking of wallet movements, liquidity flows, and on-chain trends that were previously scattered across fragmented datasets. The update follows Metis’ recent Andromeda upgrade, which introduced a dual-chain structure and enhanced decentralization features, making it a more robust foundation for decentralized applications [1].

Metis Andromeda is designed to serve as a high-capacity infrastructure for decentralized applications, providing an Ethereum-compatible environment with low transaction costs and fast finality [1]. According to Nansen’s CEO and co-founder, Alex Svanevik, the integration equips developers, investors, and institutional stakeholders with tools to better understand the data and make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving ecosystem [1]. The timing aligns with Metis' technical advancements, including the Hyperion execution layer optimized for AI and high-throughput applications and the ReGenesis upgrade that reduces historical data bloat, supporting long-term scalability [1].

With Nansen’s AI now parsing every transaction on Metis, developers gain real-world insights into how the upgrades are performing—such as sequencer efficiency and smart contract bottlenecks [1]. Metis CEO Tom Ngo emphasized that Nansen’s analytics bring new levels of transparency and usability to the network, aligning with Metis’ goal of fostering scalable, permissionless, and community-owned Web3 economies [1].

The move signals a strategic shift in the Layer-2 landscape, where transparency is becoming a competitive advantage. In a market often criticized for inflated metrics and unclear usage, Metis is positioning itself as a serious platform for builders by emphasizing real data and performance [1]. Over the past six months, total value locked on Metis has increased steadily, driven by DeFi protocols and gaming applications with consistent transaction volumes [1]. Developer activity is also growing, particularly in AI and real-world assets, showing the network is evolving beyond speculative trading toward utility-driven use cases [1].
