KSM is a cryptocurrency that powers Kusama, a protocol that enables cross-blockchain transfers of any type of data or asset. By uniting multiple blockchains, Kusama aims to achieve high degrees of security and scalability. KSM serves as the protocol’s governance token and can be used for staking to secure the network or to connect (“bond”) new chains. Kusama acts as a "canary" or experimental network for Polkadot (a separate protocol that shares the same codebase) in which developers can more quickly test new programs that can be deployed on both.

Arkham is a blockchain intelligence platform that provides entity-level insights through onchain data analysis. Arkham aims to deanonymize blockchain transactions made by exchanges, whales, funds, and other entities by tagging their address and associated onchain activity. ARKM is the utility token of Arkham and can be used to participate in governance. ARKM can also be used to fund bounties posted on Arkham’s Intel Exchange.
