Nansen Smart Money Alpha

What tokens is smart money accumulating before they pump? Token screener with SM filter cross-referenced against netflow.

Security Scan

The skill's declared requirements (nansen CLI + NANSEN_API_KEY), install method, and runtime instructions line up with its stated purpose (running Nansen token screener and netflow queries).

Purpose & Capability

Name/description describe Nansen-based token screening; required binary (nansen) and primary env var (NANSEN_API_KEY) are exactly what that purpose needs.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only instructs running the nansen CLI with specific research commands and cross-referencing results; it does not ask for unrelated files, secrets, or system data.

Install Mechanism

Install uses an npm package (nansen-cli) which is expected for providing the 'nansen' binary. npm installs are a moderate risk compared with no install, so you should ensure the package comes from the official publisher (the README points to the package and GitHub repo).

Credentials

Only NANSEN_API_KEY is required and listed as the primary credential, which is proportional to calling the Nansen API via their CLI; no unrelated secrets or configs are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill does not request always: true, does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed but is the platform default.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent: it installs the nansen-cli package and uses your NANSEN_API_KEY to run Nansen research commands. Before installing, verify the npm package and GitHub repo are the official Nansen project, and consider the following: limit the API key's scope if possible, be aware that running the skill will make API calls that may consume quota or incur costs, and prefer installing/testing in an isolated environment if you have security concerns. If you don't trust the package source, inspect the nansen-cli source on GitHub before installing.

Alpha Discovery

Answers: "What tokens is smart money accumulating before they pump?"

CHAIN=solana

nansen research token screener --chain $CHAIN --timeframe 24h --smart-money --limit 20
# → token_symbol, price_usd, price_change, volume, buy_volume, market_cap_usd, fdv, liquidity, token_age_days

nansen research smart-money netflow --chain $CHAIN --labels "Smart Trader" --limit 10
# → token_symbol, net_flow_1h/24h/7d/30d_usd, trader_count

# Confirm SM flow on a specific token from screener results
TOKEN=<address_from_screener>
nansen research token flow-intelligence --token $TOKEN --chain $CHAIN
# → net_flow_usd per label: smart_trader, whale, exchange, fresh_wallets

Cross-reference screener results with positive netflow to find early accumulation.
