Binance announced the 32nd project on Binance Launchpad - Arkham (ARKM). Arkham's token sale will follow the Launchpad subscription format. Arkham was founded by serial entrepreneur Miguel Morel, whose previous project was the algorithmic stablecoin project Reserve protocol invested by Coinbase Ventures. As a data platform, Arkham currently has integrated support for the use of Bitcoin network, Optimism, Avalanche, Arbitrum, TRON, BNB Chain, and Polygon.
The project has raised more than $10 million through two rounds of equity financing, accounting for 20% of the total supply of ARKM tokens, and the latest round of equity financing valuation is approximately $150 million. Investors include Tim Draper, Bedrock Capital, Wintermute Trading, GSR Markets, and the co-founders of Palantir and OpenAI.
Main highlights of the project
Entity Analytics: Arkham connects blockchain addresses to entities such as exchanges, funds, and whales, and displays key data and analytics about these entities to users, giving them an advantage in their decision-making.
Token Pages: Arkham analytics are also applied on a token-by-token basis so that users analyzing a token project can see its top holders, trading activity, transaction flow, and other key metrics provided by de-anonymized Arkham data.
Visualization Tools: Visualization tools allow users to map the relationship between de-anonymized addresses and entities to intuitively grasp the flow of tokens. Multi-chain partnerships: Arkham has partnered with major blockchains to provide support for their networks, including BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Tron, and Optimism. Arkham also supports Bitcoin and Ethereum.
ULTRA: ULTRA is the technology behind Arkham, an AI-powered engine that algorithmically matches addresses to real-world entities. Ultra was developed over 3 years by Arkham core contributors with support from the founders of Palantir and OpenAI.
Intel Exchange: As cryptocurrency users become more sophisticated, the demand for blockchain intelligence continues to grow. There is also a large and growing community of blockchain detectives who collect blockchain intelligence. However, there is no marketplace to match these buyers and sellers, so cryptocurrency users miss out on valuable information and detectives go unpaid for their work. Arkham Interl Exchange created this marketplace, allowing buying and selling through smart contract bounties and auctions.
Buyers ask for intelligence from the community by offering a bounty, and bounty hunters receive rewards by submitting the requested intelligence. In addition, anyone with valuable information about a wallet or its owner can sell this information to other users for immediate purchase or through auctions.
Arkham’s Intel Trading Platform provides a way for on-chain detectives to monetize their skills. Any Intel bought or sold on the Intel Trading Platform will be held exclusively by the acquirer for 90 days. Trading products are not limited to physical tags, and any on-chain activity can issue bounties. The Intel Trading Platform will be officially launched on July 18 (Tuesday).
