Arkham publishes an API setup guide as governments and major crypto firms adopt the platform for compliance, trading, and onchain research.
Tech & Launches ·
Arkham Intelligence has released a comprehensive guide to setting up its API as the blockchain analytics platform sees adoption by governments and major crypto firms for compliance, trading, and onchain research. The platform, which maps wallet addresses to real-world entities across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other networks, operates a core product called Arkham Intel that enables users to track historical balances, transaction flows, and entity attribution across multiple chains. Arkham, founded in 2020 and publicly launched in 2023, also maintains a native token, ARKM, that powers an Intel Exchange marketplace where users trade intelligence tips.
The API guide supports the platform's expansion into institutional use cases as compliance teams, traders, and researchers increasingly rely on Arkham for real-time monitoring of fund flows and wallet clustering. The guide details setup procedures for accessing Arkham's API capabilities alongside the existing Intel interface, which aggregates data through algorithmic clustering, public disclosures, and crowdsourced labeling to build a directory of crypto ownership across tens of thousands of labeled entities.
What remains unclear is the scope of government and firm adoption—specific agencies, institutions, or transaction volumes are not detailed in the available material. The timing and rollout of the API guide relative to these adoption announcements also lack definition.
