The internet is loud. Everyone has a take, but it’s hard to know who to believe.
Intuition is building a decentralized trust layer: a knowledge graph that links facts, opinions, and reputations on‑chain. It rewards honest contributions, makes data verifiable, and helps both people and AI systems trace who said what and why it matters.
A simple picture
You’re planning a trip to Lisbon. A hotel has 200 reviews. Some call it “amazing”; others say “avoid.”
Which do you trust?
Now imagine every review includes:
Proof of who wrote it
A reputation score based on past accuracy
Incentives for being truthful
If a review proves accurate, the author earns tokens. If it’s misleading, they lose part of their stake. That’s the idea: make trust measurable and valuable.
The problem
The modern web has a trust gap:
Identity is fragmented across platforms
Users don’t own their data
Opinions enrich platforms, not people
AI is trained on unverified, biased inputs
Intuition asks: What if people could own and verify their knowledge—and trust could be built from the ground up?
What Intuition is building
- The knowledge graph: facts and beliefs in one network
Think of it as a map of truth.
Atoms are entities (a person, project, concept)
Triples are relationships (e.g., “Alice founded Company X”)
Attestations are claims backed by someone’s reputation and stake
Both facts (“Ethereum launched in 2015”) and beliefs (“Vitalik is visionary”) live side by side, with clear provenance and verifiability.
- InfoFi: the economy of knowledge
Information Finance treats trust like an asset.
In traditional finance, people stake money. In Intuition, people stake trust. When you back a claim, you’re saying, “I stand behind this.” Others can agree, contest, or add context. Over time, reliable information rises; contributors are rewarded. Knowledge becomes an economic good.
- User empowerment: own what you know
Web2 captured your data. Intuition flips the model.
You create a decentralized identity, share verified insights, and earn for trustworthy contributions. You’re no longer the product; you’re a stakeholder.
- Infrastructure for builders
Intuition isn’t just a concept. It’s EVM‑compatible, composable infrastructure.
Developers can query verified information, attach trust scores to users, and design new economic models around reliable, shared data. Trust becomes a building block—like tokens or smart contracts.
A real‑world flow (back to Lisbon)
Open a travel app powered by Intuition:
Reviewers have verified on‑chain identities
You can see their travel history and trust scores
You can filter reviews by people like you
You can stake a small amount on a review you believe
If the review proves accurate, you and the reviewer are rewarded.
This pattern generalizes:
Investments: verified financial insights
Science: validated research data
Journalism: transparent sourcing
Social media: reputation tied to truthfulness
Why this matters for AI
Today’s AI ingests vast data without clear provenance. Intuition adds source, context, and verifiability.
Feed AI systems with the graph, and you get:
Every claim linked to a source
Opinions labeled and contextualized
Datasets that are auditable
Instead of guessing, AI can reason about trust. Imagine an assistant saying, “Confidence: 93%, backed by 250 verified attestations.” That’s what Intuition enables.
Who benefits
Everyday users — Build a knowledge identity, own your contributions, earn for accuracy
Developers — Access a universal trust graph and ship dApps or AI integrations
Organizations — Validate data sources and build credibility networks
AI systems — Learn from structured, human‑endorsed information
The bigger picture
The web evolved from information (Web1) to social (Web2) to ownership (Web3). The next step is trusting verifiable reputation and belief as first‑class primitives. when Intuition succeeds, truth and trust become native, composable parts of the digital world.
Bottom line: Intuition bridges human judgment and machine intelligence. By making trust open, verifiable, and rewarding, it turns what people know and believe into something the world can rely on.
