Project Vision and Purpose

Intuition aims to provide the missing layer of trust for the internet and AI. Its goal is to shift control of knowledge away from big tech companies and create an economy where individuals own and monetize their information. In the same way Ethereum transformed money, Intuition transforms knowledge: making it programmable, combinable, and tradable.

Key goals include:

• Structuring knowledge as financial assets

• Reliably transferring human intuition to AI systems

• Breaking centralized control of data by large tech firms

• Building a new economy where everyone can earn from knowledge

Three Core Products

1. Intuition Core Network: Ensures transparency and integrity by handling data submission, verification, and access.

2. TRUST Collateral Portal: Users bond tokens through smart contracts to secure the network and earn rewards.

3. Decentralized Governance Module: Token holders influence protocol development through proposals and voting.

Founders and Team

The team consists of developers and researchers with long-standing experience in Ethereum, digital identity (DID), and Web3 infrastructures.

• Founder & CEO: William Luedtke (Billy Luedtke)

• The founding team has nearly a decade of experience in decentralized systems and identity solutions. Billy Luedtke actively advocates for a trusted layer for high-quality data and AI models.

Investors and Partnerships

Intuition has raised funding from major venture capital firms and industry leaders.

• Total Funding: Reports indicate $4M–$8.5M raised, including a $4M Seed round in June 2023.

• Notable Investors: Superscrypt (Seed lead), ConsenSys, Shima Capital, Angel Investor Joseph Lubin (Ethereum co-founder & ConsenSys CEO).

• Partners/Platforms: CoinList (Token sale platform).

Key Features and Mechanisms

• Decentralized Knowledge Graph (Token-Curated): A decentralized knowledge graph curated using $TRUST tokens, transforming how data is created, verified, and owned.

• Programmable Trust: Trust is cryptographically proven and economically incentivized.

• Core Building Blocks: Atoms, Triples, and Signals enable developers to build applications.

• Verifiability: Every claim or data point can be cryptographically verified.

• Decentralized Data Liquidity Layer: Prevents censorship, bias, manipulation, and monopolization.

• Reputation Systems: Cross-platform systems ensuring digital identity and data ownership security.

• InfoFi Infrastructure: Enables the programmed monetization and distribution of data.

How Intuition Works

The protocol uses a Token-Curated Knowledge Graph (TCKG):

• Users stake TRUST tokens to add knowledge or claims.

• Correct information is rewarded, while incorrect information results in token penalties.

• Data is stored as atoms, triples, and signals for real-time querying.

• This creates an economically incentivized, verifiable knowledge network.

TRUST Token Use Cases

• Data creation: Stake TRUST to add new knowledge

• Gas fees: Network transaction payments

• Network security: Bond TRUST to run nodes

• Governance: Voting rights on protocol decisions

• Speculation & liquidity: Exchange trading and liquidity pools

• Buybacks & emissions: Protocol revenue used for token buybacks

Token Distribution

• Community: 20% (200M)
• Investors: 20% (200M)
• Treasury: 20% (200M)
• Labs Co.: 15% (150M)
• Core Contributors: 14% (140M)
• Ecosystem Incentives: 7% (70M)
• Exchange Liquidity: 4% (40M)

Token Info and Governance

• Ticker: $TRUST

• Type: Utility & Governance token

• Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 TRUST

• Governance: Users bond $TRUST to vote, incentivizing high-quality, verifiable data while penalizing misinformation.

Roadmap (2026)

• Smart Contracts 3.0: Advanced smart contract capabilities

• ZK Integrations: Privacy and security via zero-knowledge proofs

• Intuition AVS: Integration of Active Verified Services with Eigenlayer

• AI Enhancements: Advanced AI and knowledge processing

• Full Stack Verifiability: End-to-end verification across layers

• Native VC & DID Support: Decentralized identity and verifiable credentials

The Intuition (TRUST) token will be available for trading for the first time on Binance Alpha starting November 5

Ecosystem

The Intuition ecosystem enables next-gen applications built on open, decentralized infrastructure.

• Developers: Can build decentralized search engines, knowledge bases, AI datasets, marketplaces, and news platforms.

• Users: Gain control over knowledge, earn rewards, and contribute to more reliable AI data.
