Nansen, a blockchain analytics firm, has announced its acquisition of StakeWithUs, a Singapore-based staking service provider, to broaden its range of services.
According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph, the move aims to improve the analytics firms’ ability to offer a more comprehensive platform to retail and institutional investors.
In a written Q&amp;A with Cointelegraph, Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen, explained that the new unified platform will allow users to “stake their tokens seamlessly with our validators across 20+ blockchains.”

According to the press release, StakewithUs, supported by SGInnovate, offers secure staking services across multiple blockchain networks and will facilitate this directly onchain on Nansen’s platform.
When asked about the new staking opportunities, Svenevik stated, “Yes, users will be able to stake their assets directly onchain through the Nansen platform.”
<blockquote>
 “Initially, we will focus on providing non-custodial staking for over different 20 assets including Solana, Sui, Celestia, Dydx, Akash, Cosmos, Osmosis, Band, Skale, Certik [...].“

Nansen’s role as one of the first validators for Berachain’s mainnet, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible layer-1 blockchain, is a significant milestone for the analytics firm.
On the topic of staking and potential plans for restaking in the future, Svanevik explained that the firm has “no plans for restaking at the moment.”&nbsp;
Svanevik did explain that there are plans to expand the list of non-custodial staking options, adding “support for additional tokens based on user demand and market trends.”&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “One challenge is maintaining industry-best uptime and security. Nansen is fully committed to meeting the highest standards on both as a trusted brand in this space."
