ForensicBlock vs Arkham

Public on-chain intelligence platform with entity labeling, portfolio tracking, and a community bounty model for attribution research.

What Arkham is genuinely stronger at

The honest answer matters. If you need one of these things, Arkham may still be the right tool — and ForensicBlock is not trying to displace them on those dimensions.

  • Substantial free tier — accessible to retail users and researchers.
  • Bounty-driven attribution model that captures community intel quickly.
  • Strong UX for portfolio/wallet exploration and entity surfacing.

Pricing (public-source citations)

  • Arkham's public surface is free-to-use with premium and bounty mechanics; it is not positioned as a court-grade forensics tool. [source]

All pricing figures are from public sources or third-party comparisons as cited. Vendor pricing is quote-based and varies by deployment, seat count, and product mix; the citations above represent publicly visible reference points, not guaranteed quotes.

Scale & coverage claims

  • Arkham covers a broad set of EVM and some non-EVM chains for entity tracking; coverage details vary by product surface. [source]

What ForensicBlock can claim by virtue of architecture

These are commitments embedded in how the platform is built — not marketing choices a competitor could re-skin without rebuilding their evidence layer.

  • ForensicBlock produces court-ready, hash-sealed evidence — admissibility-prepared under FRE 902(13)/(14). Arkham is positioned as intelligence and research, not court evidence.
  • Methodology versioning and audit-log anchoring on every finding give ForensicBlock outputs a defensible legal posture that a bounty-board intel tool is not designed for.
  • No tradeoff: use Arkham for community-sourced intel, then run a ForensicBlock investigation when you need the sealed record.
