About Arkham
Arkham Intelligence is a blockchain analytics platform that deanonymizes crypto transactions by linking addresses to real-world entities. Founded in 2020, Arkham uses AI to identify wallet owners and track funds across chains.
The platform maintains one of the largest databases of labeled addresses, identifying wallets belonging to exchanges, institutions, protocols, and notable individuals. This makes it invaluable for investigating fund flows, researching whale activity, and understanding market movements.
Arkham's Intel Exchange allows users to buy and sell blockchain intelligence using ARKM tokens, creating a marketplace for wallet labels and investigation data. The platform serves investigators, researchers, journalists, and traders who need to understand who's behind crypto transactions.
