The people shaping Arkham’s on-chain intelligence after 2026 relaunch
Arkham Intelligence leaders Miguel Morel and the Lerangis family manage an ecosystem where users earn ARKM tokens through the Intel Marketplace. The platform utilizes Ultra AI and a 1,000,000,000 token supply to provide real-time entity tracking and automated blockchain analysis.
Intelligence feeds and the user community
Arkham Intelligence provides entity-level intelligence that links 800,000 named wallets to real-world identities. Miguel Morel, Henry Fisher, Zachary Lerangis, and Alexander Lerangis lead the platform. The Intel Marketplace allows community members to earn ARKM tokens by contributing verified intelligence like new address labels or entity attributions. Users place bounties for specific information, while others use auctions to sell data. To prevent spam, bounty hunters and auctioneers stake 10 ARKM in a smart contract. If the Arkham Foundation rejects a submission, the platform keeps the 10 ARKM stake. Users experience a 15-day lockup period before they withdraw rewards, although early withdrawal incurs a 10% fee. The ecosystem hosts the Decentralized AI Training Accelerator program where sleuths earn ARKM for providing training data for the Ultra AI. If you track specific wallets, you already understand the value of these labels. Arkham provides the best entity tracking for researchers on a budget. Users express skepticism regarding the privacy of deanonymization tools. It also faced criticism when the referral program exposed user emails via Base64 encoding.
Automating analysis with AI
The September 2026 API upgrade reduced data latency so users receive updated on-chain intelligence within minutes, which replaces the previous hourly or daily delays for wallet labels and entity data. The platform’s API documentation allows users to connect AI agents like Anthropic’s Claude directly to on-chain intelligence to perform complex data analysis and build dashboards through natural language prompts without writing any code. The proprietary Ultra AI monitors large exchange inflows and outflows, changes in top token holder concentrations, and whale positions on the Hyperliquid derivatives exchange. These automated insights appear on user dashboards to prevent manual investigation. In April 2026, Arkham released documentation to facilitate these AI integrations. The Ultra AI uses machine learning and the Common Input Ownership Heuristic to group isolated wallets that behave as a single entity. This technology helps users identify patterns and present them as actionable insights. Developers use the API to integrate real-time blockchain data into their own systems. Arkham supports over 40 blockchains. The platform helps users avoid rug pulls by showing if a tiny cluster of unknown wallets controls 80% of a token’s supply.
Incentives and the ARKM token
The ARKM token powers the incentive system through rewards and discounts. On October 18, 2026, four recipients receive a 2.50% unlock of the total supply. The total initial supply consists of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with 37.3% allocated to ecosystem and community incentives, 20% to core contributors, 17.5% to investors, 17.2% to the foundation, and 5% to Binance. Holders of the token receive a holding discount of up to 50% after locking tokens for at least 30 days. Users also receive a 20% discount when they pay for platform services using ARKM.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Total Initial Supply | 1,000,000,000 ARKM |
| Community Allocation | 37.3% |
| Bounty/Auction Stake | 10 ARKM |
| Bounty Lockup Period | 15 days |
| Pay-in-ARKM Discount | 20% |
| Max Holding Discount | 50% |
| Minimum Holding Lock | 30 days |
The Intel Marketplace uses audited smart contracts to ensure the platform does not hold funds centrally. Buyers use ARKM to lock rewards for bounties. Some 50 million ARKM, or 5% of the total supply, went on sale on the Binance Launchpad in July. Does the community always vote correctly on governance proposals regarding sensitive entity information?
