Arkham Launches World’s First On-Chain Intelligence Exchange
Arkham, a blockchain intelligence company, has announced the launch of the “world’s first on-chain intelligence exchange” and a new coin called ARKM. While some see the positive potential for this platform, there are concerns about its centralized nature and potential for misuse. Here are the key points:
1. Arkham’s Intel Exchange allows users to post and accept bounties for information on blockchain transactions.
2. The entity that paid the bounty will have exclusive access to the data for 90 days before it is released to the public.
3. Some experts are worried about the potential for the exchange to be misused, such as putting bounties on whale wallets for malicious purposes.
4. Arkham has been accused of leaking users’ email addresses through referral links shared on social media.
5. The encoding of email addresses in the referral links has raised suspicions that this was intentional “doxing” by Arkham.
It remains to be seen how the launch of this on-chain intelligence exchange will unfold, but there are valid concerns about privacy and misuse.
