Hackers League Sponsor Series | Arkham's Mission to Improve Blockchain Transparency

The Hackers League Sponsor Series celebrates the invaluable contributions of sponsors who help make the Hackathon possible. Their support fuels innovation, strengthens the developer community, and spotlights projects advancing blockchain. These articles dive into what sponsors hope to see from participants, offering insight into what makes a winning project.

Today, we’re featuring Arkham, a diamond sponsor and leader in blockchain intelligence dedicated to shining a light on crypto market activity. Supported by renowned founders of Palantir and OpenAI, alongside major trading firms and venture capitalists, Arkham has built an AI-powered platform that unveils the real-world identities behind blockchain transactions. Their mission centers on promoting transparency across the crypto space, making it easier for traders, investors, and researchers to access actionable insights.

Arkham’s sponsorship of the Hackers League marks a significant step in their partnership with TON. With plans to integrate the TON blockchain into their platform, Arkham is excited to empower developers and engage directly with the TON community through this event.

Could you introduce your project/entity? What motivated you to sponsor the Hacker?

Arkham is a blockchain intelligence company backed by the founders of Palantir and OpenAI, trading and market-making firms and some of the world's best venture capitalists. They've built an AI platform to provide information on the real-world entities and individuals behind crypto market activity.

Sponsoring the Hacker League was a no-brainer for Arkham, given our existing partnership with TON and the imminent integration of TON blockchain. The integration will enable far more advanced onchain analysis within the TON ecosystem than was previously possible, directly in line with Arkham’s mission of bringing unparalleled transparency to crypto markets.

The Hacker League is a great introduction for Arkham to the TON community, particularly its builders, investors, and traders. It is also a perfect opportunity for TON users to become familiar with Arkham (and be rewarded for doing so).

Are there specific ways you envision your tools/platforms helping developers build solutions on TON?

Arkham’s platform and API serve many users and use cases. However, they are especially well suited for crypto traders and investors, who can incorporate on-chain analysis into their strategies using Arkham.

Arkham is free and accessible via our platform. Sophisticated market participants can apply for access to the Arkham API at arkhamintelligence.com/api-platform.

In your view, how do hackathons like Hackers League encourage innovation within the TON ecosystem? Which track in the Hacker League do you find most promising, and why?

Initiatives like the Hackers League provide an excellent platform for dedicated users to collaborate and create impactful projects, bringing together individuals who often work independently. We look forward to the developments from the On-chain Data Analytics track we’re sponsoring.

Do you plan to build long-term relationships with innovators and developers after the Hackers League Hackathon? Do you have anything planned for projects that impress your team?

Absolutely. Arkham is always looking to work with and support users, especially builders, traders, and investors, who share its vision. It has a number of dedicated programs, like Arkham VIP, to reward users for contributing to its community and mission.

What to expect moving forward

Arkham’s involvement in the Hackers League Hackathon highlights its dedication to empowering the next wave of blockchain innovations.
