Crypto data firm Nansen is launching NX8, a new digital token index based on the Solana network, The Block reported on Feb. 8 local time.
NX8 tracks eight major Layer 1 blockchains: bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), BNB Chain (BNB), Tron (TRX), Hyperliquid, Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI).
OpenDelta and Nansen jointly developed NX8. Built on Solana, it supports multichain trading. Nansen co-founder Niklas Stuteingard (닉 슈테링가드) explained the background to the launch, saying, "The competition in blockchain infrastructure is over, and the Layer 1 leaders that have secured users and developers are clearly emerging."
NX8 can be traded across various chains by using LayerZero's multichain standard. It is also accessible on Solana-based trading platforms including the Solana-based DEX Orca, as well as Jupiter, Kamino and Dipflow. Institutional-grade custody is provided by Anchorage and Hex Trust, while GMCI is responsible for index operation and maintenance.
