Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Arkham Intelligence is launching a marketplace and token that allows users to pay for on-chain sleuthing. The platform, Arkham Intel Exchange, uses a bounty system where users post a bounty and whoever fulfills it first gets paid in Arkham’s native coin, ARKM. Alternatively, users can auction off their independent findings if they are of interest to potential buyers. In addition to its token launch, Arkham gained some attention yesterday as news came out that they had been doxxing users’ email addresses in their referral links. While the links looked harmless, they were actually the users’ Base64 encoded email addresses, which tied their emails to their Twitter accounts when they unwittingly shared them.
