On-chain sleuths submit intel into Arkham Intel Exchange and receive fees from intel requestors (supply-side fees).

Arkham is an on-chain intelligence exchange protocol built on Ethereum. Arkham was founded by Miguel Morel and their on-chain protocol launched in 2023.

ARKM tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total intel fees paid by intel requestors (revenue). Arkham's investors include DGC, Coinbase, Sam Altman etc.

# Arkham Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Arkham token supply maximum metric represents the predefined maximum number of tokens that can ever exist for the Arkham protocol. This metric is a static value of 1 billion tokens that was established at the token's launch on July 5, 2023. Unlike circulating supply metrics that change based on on-chain activity, maximum supply is a fixed tokenomics parameter that provides the upper bound for total token issuance.

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on predefined tokenomics specifications rather than blockchain data:
- **Token specifications**: Hardcoded maximum supply value defined in the project's tokenomics documentation
- **Launch date information**: Official token launch timestamp from project documentation

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fixed maximum token supply and launch date
- **Logic**: The calculation sets a hardcoded value of 1,000,000,000 tokens as the maximum supply. The launch date is set to July 5, 2023 at 00:00:00 UTC, representing when the Arkham token became active. The timestamp grain is set to daily to provide consistent daily reporting.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` set to the launch date, `token_supply_maximum` set to 1 billion tokens, `timestamp_grain` set to 'day'

### Final aggregation
- **Time series standardization**: The finalize macro applies a fill-forward strategy to ensure the maximum supply value is consistently reported for all days from the launch date onwards
- **Output formatting**: The macro standardizes the metric output format to match Token Terminal's reporting requirements
- **Data continuity**: Since maximum supply is a static value, the fill-forward strategy simply repeats the same 1 billion token value for each day in the time series from launch date to present

The final metric value is consistently 1,000,000,000 tokens for all reporting periods from July 5, 2023 onwards, representing the immutable maximum supply cap established in Arkham's tokenomics.

*This methodology was automatically generated by Token Terminal's methodology analyzer.*
