About Arkham

Arkham is a crypto intelligence platform that systematically analyzes and deanonymizes blockchain transactions, showing users the people and companies behind blockchain activity, along with data and analytics about their behavior. To generate intelligence at scale, Arkham uses Ultra, a proprietary AI-powered algorithmic address matching engine. By systematically linking blockchain addresses to real-world entities, and providing aggregate data and analytics that give a complete picture of their behavior, Arkham reveals the activity driving digital asset markets, enabling market participants to outperform. 

We have completed our Seed and Series A fundraising from investors including the founders of Palantir and OpenAI, and VCs including Geoff Lewis at Bedrock and Tim Draper. Our founders are veterans of the crypto industry, having previously founded a stablecoin project for hyperinflationary economies with investors including Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Coinbase, and Digital Currency Group, among others.
