What is Intuition?
Let me explain it like you’re a 10-year-old using these key points:
- It is a decentralized knowledge and reputation graph for Web3.
- It focuses on improving trust and decision-making.
- It uses crowd-sourced attestations to create verified social and data relationships that help users navigate the crypto and Web3 ecosystem more safely and effectively.
Let’s dive in deeper to learn more about Intuition and how it works 
Intuition uses blockchain to build an open knowledge graph, allowing users to create verifiable attestations data points or claims about anything. I remember that was the first thing I learned to do using Intuition. These attestations replace traditional social likes or endorsements with economic signals, which means they have real value (because I used the base Ethereum token) and are backed by incentives on the blockchain. This creates a trustworthy, transparent, and decentralized layer of knowledge that applications and users can rely on for accurate information and reputation data.
How Intuition stores data
Intuition stores data using “Atoms” and “Triples” to create a rich, verifiable semantic graph:
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks representing unique entities or concepts, each with a decentralized identifier.
- Triples are structures linking three Atoms together in a Subject-Predicate-Object form, expressing precise relationships and facts.
This approach, powered by the Intuition SDK, enables complex, machine-readable knowledge that can be verified and economically signaled on the blockchain for trust and transparency.
Practical application example
Users can post reviews about organizations or services transparently stored on the blockchain. For example, a question is given with many options, and you choose which one you trust, backing your choice by verifying it on the blockchain by paying a small, negligible gas fee.
Benefits of using Intuition
- It is a foundational protocol for trustworthy interactions across Web3 and social platforms.
- It integrates economic incentives with semantic data, enabling reliable verification of information and reputations.
- It aims to reduce misinformation, enhance security, and enable seamless, trustworthy decision-making in the decentralized ecosystem.
In conclusion
Intuition strives to be the core infrastructure that Web3 apps rely on for secure, transparent, and meaningful knowledge and social data, fostering a safer and more trustworthy digital environment. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
