Token deep dive — info, OHLCV, holders, flows, flow intelligence, who bought/sold, DEX trades, PnL, perp trades, perp positions, perp PnL leaderboard. Use when researching a specific token in depth.

Token Deep Dive

All commands: nansen research token <sub> [options]

--chain required for spot endpoints. Use --token <address> for token-specific endpoints.

Info & Price

bash

nansen research token info --token <addr> --chain solana
nansen research token ohlcv --token <addr> --chain solana --timeframe 1h

Timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M

Holders

bash

nansen research token holders --token <addr> --chain solana
nansen research token holders --token <addr> --chain solana --smart-money

Flows

bash

nansen research token flows --token <addr> --chain solana --days 7
nansen research token flow-intelligence --token <addr> --chain solana
nansen research token who-bought-sold --token <addr> --chain solana

flow-intelligence breaks down by label: whales, smart traders, exchanges, fresh wallets, public figures.

DEX Trades

bash

nansen research token dex-trades --token <addr> --chain solana --limit 20

PnL

bash

nansen research token pnl --token <addr> --chain solana --sort total_pnl_usd:desc

Perps (no --chain)

bash

nansen research token perp-trades --symbol ETH --days 7
nansen research token perp-positions --symbol BTC
nansen research token perp-pnl-leaderboard --symbol SOL

Flags

Flag	Purpose
--chain	Required for spot endpoints (ethereum, solana, base, etc.)
--token	Token address (alias: --token-address)
--symbol	Token symbol for perp endpoints (e.g. BTC)
--timeframe	OHLCV interval
--smart-money	Filter to SM wallets only (holders)
--days	Lookback period (default 30)
--sort	Sort field:direction (e.g. total_pnl_usd:desc)
--fields	Select specific fields
--table	Human-readable table output
--format csv	CSV export

Notes

• Perp endpoints use --symbol (e.g. BTC), not --token.
• holders --smart-money returns UNSUPPORTED_FILTER for tokens without SM tracking.
• flow-intelligence may return all-zero flows for illiquid tokens.
