Nansen flipped the lights inside Ethereum’s most opaque scaling playground. By integrating Metis Andromeda, its AI-driven analysis reveals the smart money flow, hidden dap traction and whale movements that Layer 2 users have been guessing for years.
summary
- Nansen will integrate Metis Andromeda, the Ethereum Layer-2 network, into an AI-powered analytics platform.
- This move allows for real-time tracking of wallet activity, liquidity flows, and metrics on the chain hidden in previously fragmented data.
According to a press release shared with Crypto.News on August 8, blockchain analytics company Nansen has integrated Metis Andromeda, an unauthorized Ethereum Layer-2 network, into its real-time analytics and social intelligence platform.
This move will bring Metis activity under Nansen’s AI-powered lens, allowing live tracking of wallet movements, liquidity flows, and trends on the chain that have been buried in previously fragmented data sets. The partnership follows Metis’ recent Andromeda upgrade, with an introduction of a dual-chain structure and enhanced decentralization capabilities.

New lens for Metis design and layer 2 activity
According to the statement, Metis Andromeda was built to serve as the basis for the large capacity of distributed applications, providing developers with a low transaction cost and quick finality.
“Metis is building infrastructure for a scalable, licensed, and community-owned Web3 economy,” said Alex Svanevik, CEO and co-founder of Nansen. “By integrating Metis, we provide users from builders to institutional stakeholders with tools that need to understand data, make informed decisions and go ahead of the curve of an increasingly complex ecosystem.”
The timing of Nansen’s integration coincides with Metis’ recent technological leap. The Andromeda upgrade introduced Hyperion, a parallelized execution layer optimized for AI and high-throughput DAPP, but Regenesis is critical for its long-term scalability.
Now, with Nansen’s AI parsing all transactions, developers can see exactly how these upgrades are being performed in real terms, from sequencer efficiency to smart contract bottlenecks.
Transparency as a growth engine
For Metis CEO Tom Ngo, Nansen’s analysis is the basis for the next phase of the network. “Nansen’s real-time analytics and monitoring tools bring a new level of transparency and ease of use to the Metis ecosystem,” he said.
The implications are clear. In a market where Layer-2 often uses inflated metrics to obscure actual use, Methys bets that hard data will attract serious builders.
Numbers support strategy. For the past six months, Metis has steadily locked its total value, with Defi protocols and gaming applications driving consistent transaction volumes.
Developer activity is more important. Projects that leverage MetissDK’s modular stacks are increasingly targeting sectors such as AI and real-world assets, indicating that networks are moving beyond speculative trading to utility-driven adoption.
