# 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.
