Scanner vs Arkham

Checked November 2026

Arkham is the broader tool: entity attribution across many chains, plus alerts. Scanner is narrower and deeper on Solana and Robinhood Chain: a free explorer that shows where any wallet's funds came from, bundle detection on token holders, bubble maps, and Seek for following Solana funding trails hop by hop. If you investigate memecoin launches, bundles and Solana funding trails, Scanner is the more direct fit; if you need attribution across Bitcoin, Ethereum and dozens of other chains, use Arkham.

Pick Scanner if

  • You trade or research Solana or Robinhood Chain tokens and want to know who holds the supply.
  • You need bundle detection on a token's holders, not just labels.
  • You want a free funding trace on any wallet without a paid plan.
  • You want to embed bubble maps or call an API priced in scans, not enterprise contracts.

Pick Arkham if

  • You need entity attribution across Bitcoin, Ethereum and many other chains.
  • You want alerts and a single profile per entity across every chain it uses.
  • Your work is institutional compliance rather than trading research.

Questions

Is Scanner a free Arkham alternative?

For Solana and Robinhood Chain lookups, yes: the explorer, Origin of Funds traces, Wallet Finder and KOL tracker are free with no account, and every account gets 30 scans a month. Arkham covers far more chains.

Does Scanner have Arkham-style entity labels?

Scanner labels exchanges, bridges and infrastructure on Solana and Robinhood Chain, and KOL wallets on Solana. Arkham's attribution database is larger and spans many more chains.

Can Scanner trace funds across chains like Arkham?

Seek starts on Solana and follows funds that leave through bridges onto the destination chain. It is not a general multi-chain entity database.
