About the Company
Arkham is deanonymizing the blockchain through its flagship product, Arkham Intel, building a crypto intelligence platform backed by the founders of Palantir and OpenAI that shows users the people and companies behind blockchain activity, along with advanced data and analytics about their behavior. Since launching the Arkham Private Beta in autumn 2022, we have experienced rapid growth, adding over 2 million users to our platform. The importance of on-chain data has emerged as one of the most important themes in crypto, and Arkham is leading the industry's transformation toward transparency and deanonymization.
Arkham has also just announced a new business line, Arkham Exchange - a crypto derivatives and spot exchange—and we’re excited to continue to drive innovation forward with this new venture.
