“Today, we will reveal the biggest reward at Intel Exchange – for solving perhaps the biggest mystery in the crypto industry: the identity of the FTX hacker,” the company said.
The people who find the hacker must not only name the culprit, but also provide irrefutable evidence of his guilt. Arkham will reward the winner with a sum of 100,000 ARKM (about $46,000). “Headhunters” have until Aug. 17 to submit their applications.
Arkham CEO Miguel Morel says the platform will drive investigations to thwart attackers in the crypto space. Critics say: such investigations could result in the release of users’ personal information.

Arkham had previously placed an order for information on the wallet information of the former head of Project Terra, which collapsed in the same 2022 hack. The amount of the reward is ARKM 9,519 (about $5,971). Two network sleuths have already found Terra Labs wallet data, proven authentic, and won their award;
