Company profile
researched Aug 2026Intuition (Intuition Systems) operates a decentralized knowledge network intended to apply blockchain mechanisms to information rather than money, covering the trust, ownership, discoverability and monetization of data. Its two headline components are the Intuition Network, described as a native chain for "Information Finance" implemented as a Base L3 on the Arbitrum Orbit stack, and the Trust Protocol, an attestation layer the company describes as the first token-curated knowledge graph, which converts facts, claims and signals into verifiable, tradable data assets. The company frames its addressable opportunity as the market for information, which it sizes at $200 trillion.
The system is organized in layers. At the foundation are the custom blockchain (Intuition Network), the Trust Protocol smart-contract logic that rewards creation and curation of data, and the Trust Graph, a unified verifiable knowledge graph combining on-chain and off-chain state. Service layers include 1DB, an aggregator that indexes multiple verifiable data registries into a single verifiable data registry; 1API, a gateway for retrieving and contributing data; 1SDK, a developer toolkit; and 1UI, a component library for web3 applications. Module-level products include Reason, an interpretation/DSL registry; Agora, a marketplace for AI agents and algorithms; and Reality Tunnels, which let developers and users adjust how data is prioritized and filtered.
Feature themes described by the company include knowledge as an asset class priced by bonding curves as users pay to write, reference and consume information; trust as a service through structured attestations carrying provenance; portable reputation attached to decentralized identifiers covering people, organizations, concepts and AI agents; and self-sovereign identity with selective disclosure composing identities, wallets and credentials into a verifiable graph.
Business model
Intuition provides protocol infrastructure and developer tooling (1API, 1SDK, 1UI, 1DB) on its own blockchain, with economic activity centered on paying to write, reference and consume information in a token-curated knowledge graph, and on marketplaces for agents and algorithms.
Traction
The company states the Intuition Network is live and lists an ecosystem of applications and collections built on its system, including the Intuition Portal, Intuition.Box, Ethereum Values System, Sofia, Spoc, Repustation, Revel8, Plebs and a MetaMask Snap. It also says it is backed by more than 100 investors, listing individuals affiliated with organizations such as ConsenSys, DARMA Capital, Delphi, Gitcoin, Archetype, Bankless Ventures, Foresight Ventures and Fenbushi.
Latest developments
The company reports that the Intuition Network — a Base L3 built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack — is live, and promotes an ecosystem of applications built on the system.

Market position
The company positions itself as building the native chain and protocol for "Information Finance" and the first token-curated knowledge graph, addressing what it describes as the $200 trillion information market.
Intuition combines a purpose-built blockchain with a token-curated knowledge graph, bonding-curve pricing for information, attestations with provenance, and DID-based portable reputation and self-sovereign identity in a single stack.
Technology
The stack comprises the Intuition Network, a purpose-built blockchain described as a Base L3 built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack; the Trust Protocol, on-chain smart contract logic that incentivizes creation and curation of data; and the Trust Graph, which unifies on-chain and off-chain state into a verifiable knowledge graph. Supporting services include 1DB (verifiable data registry aggregator), 1API (verifiable data gateway), 1SDK (developer toolkit) and 1UI (web3 component library), plus modules Reason (interpretation registry), Agora (agent and algorithm marketplace) and Reality Tunnels (configurable data prioritization and filtering). Bonding curves are used to price information, and decentralized identifiers (DIDs) underpin identity and reputation.
Go-to-market
Distribution is developer-led through APIs, SDKs and UI libraries, together with an ecosystem of third-party and first-party applications built on the network, including a MetaMask Snap and a user-facing portal.
Developers building web3 and AI applications that need verifiable data, attestations, reputation and identity primitives, alongside end users and AI agents that consume or contribute curated information.
