Revel8 - Intuition Ecosystem Grant Application
1. Applicant & Project Overview
Required
Project Name: Revel8
Team / Individual Name(s): Kylan Hurt
Links:
-
Website:
https://revel8.io -
Snap (npm):
https://www.npmjs.com/package/revel8-snap -
Snap (GitHub):
https://github.com/revel8-io/intuition-snap -
Explorer:
https://explorer.revel8.io(under construction) -
Browser Extension: in development (repository private)
100-Word Summary:
Revel8 is a consumer-facing trust layer for Web3, powered by Intuition. Three components:
-
Revel8 Snap: Displays trust signals and aliases for addresses in MetaMask’s transaction confirmation flow
-
Revel8 Explorer: Web interface for viewing, creating, and (un)staking Intuition data
-
Revel8 Browser Extension: Detects entities (addresses, URLs, social profiles) while browsing and surfaces relevant Intuition insights. Users able to contribute to the knowledge graph through write smart contract actions
Together, these tools make Intuition’s knowledge graph accessible to everyday users—helping them avoid scams and verify trusted entities at the moment they need it most.
Project Category: Consumer App / Identity / DID / Reputation
Optional
Notable Traction:
-
Snap v1.0.0 published to npm, pending MetaMask Snaps Directory listing
-
Browser Extension built with Plasmo, supports
X.comprofile detection, EVM addresses, and URLs -
Full testnet and mainnet support across all products
2. What You’re Building
Required
Problem Statement:
Users interact with unknown addresses and entities without any trust context. Intuition’s knowledge graph contains valuable data, but it’s not accessible where users need it—in their wallet and browser.
Proposed Solution:
| Product | Function |
|---------|----------|
| Snap | Trust signals during MetaMask transaction signing (support/oppose, nicknames, market cap) |
| Explorer | Create atoms, triples, nicknames; stake on trust signals |
| Extension | Detect entities while browsing (X.com profiles, addresses, URLs) and show Intuition insights in sidepanel |
Stage of Development:
-
Snap: MVP / live
-
Explorer: MVP / live
-
Extension: Prototype
Optional
Architecture:
-
Explorer and extension write to Multivault smart contract (create / stake)
-
Intuition node indexes and serves updated data
-
Explorer, extension, and Snap read data and present to end-user
-
Rinse and repeat
Note: Snap may be able to create / stake if and when they support the following Snap Improvement Proposals:
https://github.com/MetaMask/SIPs/pull/180 (submitted by me)
Security: No key management permissions. All transactions require user approval.
3. Team & Execution Ability
Required
Team:
- Kylan Hurt — application developer (Web3, React, TypeScript)
Execution Proof:
-
Snap v1.0.0 shipped to npm with full test suite
-
Multiple live demos of all three products while in development
-
Comprehensive documentation (User Knowledge Base, Architecture docs)
Commitment: Currently part-time… would love to leave my MetaMask job to work on Revel8 / Intuition full-time
4. Grant Request & Milestones
Required
Amount Requested: 100,000 USD and/or TRUST
| Milestone | Deliverable | Timeline |
|-----------|-------------|----------|
| M1 | Snap in MetaMask Snaps Directory | 2 weeks |
| M2 | Explorer v1.0 (create atoms, triples, stake) | 4-6 weeks |
| M3 | Extension v1 in Chrome Web Store | 3-4 months |
| M4 | Extension + bonding curve functionality | M3 + 1-2 months
| M5 | Extension plugin development program launched | M4 + 1-2 months
Success Criteria:
| Milestone | Criteria |
|-----------|----------|
| M1 | Snap listed; >100 installs first month |
| M2 | Explorer live with atom & triple creation, lists, and tables + sorting and pagination |
| M3 | Extension approved by Chrome store including social media functionality |
| M4 | Implementation of multiple bonding curves within extension and explorer
| M5 | Extension plugin development program launched with 5+ external developers contributing
5. Intuition Ecosystem Alignment
Required
Why Intuition: I have always wanted to build apps that have a social aspect and incentivize good behavior.
Primitives Used: Atoms, triples, signals, and eventually bonding curves.
Why built on Intuition: I had been waiting six years for a reputation management system that actually made sense. Intuition is the first one I’ve seen that meets that criteria.
Optional
TRUST Integration: TRUST is used for the signals that we display (and sort by market cap), users will be encouraged to stake (and unstake), generating significant fees for the network
Network Contribution: I want users to be able to see Intuition insights on nearly every web-based entity that encounter while browsing the internet. And THEN once we’ve caught the public’s attention hopefully we can encourage large web platforms to integrate Intuition into their apps so that we can penetrate into the mobile ecosystem
6. Sustainability & Long-Term Vision
Required
Vision:
-
6 months: All three products live with 10K+ combined users
-
12 months: enter into the public’s consciousness, pushing TRUST price up and attract more developers
-
24 months: Disruption
-
Next: integration into major web, mobile, and social media platforms
Sustainability: Charge small fees during smart contract interactions (atom & triple creation, staking, etc)
