## What it does

The skill answers two questions: who controls a wallet, and whether two addresses are related. It drives `nansen research profiler` — `labels` first, then `related-wallets` and `counterparties`. Once a cluster is confirmed, `counterparties-batch` covers up to 10 of its wallets in one call, capped at `--days 90` and one ecosystem per request, so EVM and Solana addresses cannot be mixed.

The chain comes from the address format: `0x` means `--chain ethereum` (also base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon), Base58 means `--chain solana`. There is `compare` for a pair of addresses, `historical-balances` for spotting drained wallets, and `trace` for multi-hop paths. That last one is credit-heavy, and the skill itself advises keeping `--width` at 3 or below.

Every research command needs a selected API key or a saved browser session, so run `nansen auth status` first. `NANSEN_API_KEY` overrides the saved session. Each call, loops included, can spend funds through x402, while an auth or session-renewal failure never triggers payment. Expansion stops at 10 wallets, and the skill asks the human before querying each new address.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nansen-ai/nansen-cli --skill nansen-wallet-clustering -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/nansen-wallet-clustering/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/nansen-wallet-clustering/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nansen-ai/nansen-cli --skill nansen-wallet-clustering -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/nansen-wallet-clustering/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nansen-ai/nansen-cli --skill nansen-wallet-clustering -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/nansen-wallet-clustering/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install nansen-ai/nansen-cli nansen-wallet-clustering
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/nansen-wallet-clustering/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/nansen-ai/nansen-cli --path skills/nansen-wallet-clustering
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/nansen-wallet-clustering/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nansen-ai/nansen-cli --skill nansen-wallet-clustering -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- find out who is behind an unfamiliar wallet
- compare two addresses for shared tokens and counterparties
- group wallets by shared Safe signers
- follow a funding chain two hops deep
- spot wallets drained via historical balances

## Example prompts
- Profile 0x… on ethereum — who controls it and which wallets are related
- Compare these two solana addresses for shared counterparties and tokens
- Batch-profile this cluster with labels, balance and PnL

## Authentication

Browser login requests `nansen:api` for API-key-equivalent account API permissions; existing OAuth/MCP `nansen:read` semantics and separate wallet authorization are unchanged.

Before any research command or loop, require an explicitly selected API key or saved browser session. Run `nansen auth status` first. Its cached/unverified metadata does not prove credential validity or unlocked storage. Cached access-token expiry alone does not mean the session is unusable: the CLI normally renews a selected session automatically during an already-authorized research task, without another consent request or a separate account check. Stop on anonymous selection, invalid authentication state, blocked or uncertain renewal/cleanup, or an actual authentication failure, including rejected or expired refresh authority. Follow the CLI error guidance; use the free `nansen account` check when troubleshooting calls for it. Do not unset a failed key, erase a session or switch to anonymous access to retry.

Use `nansen login` for fresh browser approval within the documented platform scope, or configure a conventional API key. `NANSEN_API_KEY` overrides the saved session. OpenClaw's optional `primaryEnv` mapping preserves configured API-key injection; it is not a required-key gate or proof of authentication. Normal credits and entitlements apply. Login does not purchase credits. Browser login is available in CLI 2.0.0 within the [macOS arm64 preview scope](https://github.com/nansen-ai/nansen-cli/blob/main/docs/browser-login.md#preview-platform-scope).
