In this episode of Blocklayer Podcast, Kenzi Takahashi speaks with Alex Svanevik about the leap from data science into building a Web3 company — and why on-chain data becomes truly valuable only when it’s translated into decisions users can act on.

Alex breaks down the business model behind Nansen: turning raw blockchain activity into clear, user-friendly intelligence for traders, teams, and institutions — without losing the nuance that makes on-chain data powerful in the first place. They also talk about what it takes to scale a user-centric product in Web3: choosing the right customer, building workflows (not just dashboards), earning trust through accuracy, and staying focused while the market constantly tries to pull you into the next narrative.
