NAUT FAQ
Choosing NAUT
What is NAUT?
NAUT is a directory of the people building in crypto and how to reach them. It lists 13,100+ people and the Telegram, email, LinkedIn and X it holds for them, plus the projects, funds, service providers and events they belong to. About NAUT
Who is NAUT for?
NAUT is for anyone whose work depends on reaching the right person in crypto: founders raising a round, business development and sales teams, investors sourcing deals, and service providers looking for clients. Why NAUT exists
How do I find a crypto founder's or investor's Telegram?
Search NAUT for the person, their project or their fund, open their profile and unlock the contact for 10 credits. If NAUT does not hold them yet, every paid plan includes Concierge lookups, where the research desk finds and verifies their Telegram for you. Unlocking contacts
Are the contacts on NAUT verified?
Yes. Every Telegram, email and LinkedIn is checked before it enters the directory, and you only spend credits once a contact is confirmed. Unlocking contacts
Where does NAUT's data come from?
NAUT aggregates publicly available information about crypto companies and projects and the people associated with them. Sources include public websites, public social media and information submitted by users. Privacy Policy
Is NAUT a market data or on-chain analytics tool?
No. For prices, TVL and on-chain analytics, use a market data platform, and for following money on-chain, use a block explorer. NAUT is the directory of who to reach, how to reach them and how you are connected to them. About NAUT
Pricing and credits
Is NAUT free?
Yes, the Free plan costs $0 a month. It covers searching and filtering the whole directory and reading every profile and timeline. Unlocking a contact needs credits, which come with a paid plan, its free trial or referrals. Plans and pricing
How much does NAUT cost?
Essential is $49 a month, Pro is $99 and Team is $249, and annual billing costs $490, $990 and $2,390 a year. Enterprise pricing is custom. Every plan can browse the directory for free. Pricing
Is there a free trial?
Yes. A monthly Essential or Pro plan starts with a 7-day free trial, which comes with 600 credits on Essential and 1,200 on Pro. Pricing
What does one unlock cost?
10 credits on every plan except Enterprise, where unlocks are included. An unlocked contact stays yours permanently, including after a plan ends, and you are never charged twice for the same person. How credits work
Do unused credits roll over?
Yes, up to 2 times your monthly allowance. Essential refreshes 3,000 credits a month and can hold up to 6,000 at once. Browsing, searching and reading profiles never use credits. How credits work
Am I locked into a contract?
No. You are month to month, you can cancel any time, and every contact you have unlocked stays yours. If NAUT is not what you expected, ask within 14 days of a charge and we refund the part you have not used. We reply within 5 business days. Refund policy
Warm intros and Concierge
How do warm introductions work on NAUT?
Name the person you want to reach, and Mesa reaches out on your behalf and gets you an answer either way within 72 hours. Warm intros come with every paid plan and never spend credits, and without a plan 1 intro costs $9.90. Concierge
What if NAUT does not have the person I need?
Name them. Every paid plan includes Concierge lookups: the research desk finds and verifies their Telegram, within 5 business days on Essential, 3 business days on Pro and 1 business day on Team. Concierge
API and AI agents
Does NAUT have an API?
Yes. The developer API at api.naut.so/v1 serves projects, people, investors and service providers, billed in the same credits as the app: 5 per data call and 10 to reveal a private contact the first time. A free key with no credits gets clearly marked sample data at 0 credits, so you can build before you pay. Developer API
Can an AI agent use NAUT?
Yes. NAUT publishes an integration guide for AI agents and a downloadable agent skill folder, so an agent can search NAUT, build against sample data and go live once its account holds credits. For AI agents
Can I export contacts from NAUT?
Yes, as CSV on every paid plan: up to 1,000 rows a day on Essential, 10,000 on Pro, and no daily cap on Team and Enterprise. Pro and above add bulk search. Exporting and bulk search
