🔍 Arkham is starting to charge—are free users now limited to their 100 most recent transactions?
On October 20, Arkham officially announced the launch of Arkham Enterprise. That same day, the free version was noticeably scaled back.
Here’s the situation now:
🔹 Free users can only see the 100 most recent transactions for each address
🔹 Full history, filters, advanced Tracer 2.0 tracking, risk scores, and case management are all part of the paid Enterprise plan
🔹 Visualizer 2.0 remains free, with real-time updates available to everyone
🔹 The company also offers grants to eligible applicants
The community reaction has been intense. One analyst said they had labeled 2,274 wallets on the free platform, and that this change had completely disrupted their on-chain research workflow. Another user posted a screenshot showing a $1,500 monthly fee and joked, “At this price, it’s the whales’ turn to track us.” Quite a few people are switching back to block explorers like Etherscan and BscScan, which still offer complete transaction histories.
My take: On-chain data itself is public. What you’re really paying for is the extra layer of “labeling + organization + tracking.” Arkham is targeting compliance teams and professional researchers, so it’s no surprise that retail users are being pushed to the sidelines. For most people, 100 transactions are usually enough to check a whale’s recent activity. But if you want to piece together the full flow of funds, you’ll have to put in more work yourself or cross-check across multiple tools.
Free lunches are getting rarer. Which tools do you usually use to look up on-chain data? Would you pay for it? 👇
