The Trust Crisis of the Internet
There is a fundamental problem with how the internet operates: a lack of trust. Today, our digital lives are fragmented across different platforms, each controlling fragments of our identity. For example, Google decides what you can discover; Reddit filters what you can see; Amazon controls what you can purchase. These giants exist in the form of "walled gardens," trapping users in echo chambers through their data and algorithmic biases. Worse still, with the rise of AI technology, people will increasingly rely on single prompts to obtain so-called "truths." By 2028, AI-driven searches are expected to completely replace traditional searches, with "truth" determined by a few models, controlled by algorithms and centralized companies.
This status quo means our worldview will be shaped by corporate interests. Ironically, while we have made significant progress in decentralized trading technologies (such as DeFi protocols and NFT markets), we have overlooked how to decentralize the discovery and consumption of information.
The Solution of Intuition Protocol
To address this issue, Intuition Protocol proposes a brand new solution. It builds a decentralized way of discovery, transforming information into an asset class and forming an open, composable trust layer through economic incentives.
The Evolution of Information Markets: A Comparison Between Prediction Markets and Intuition Protocol
Prediction markets (like Polymarket) showcase the potential of information markets, incentivizing people towards a singular binary "truth." However, the real world is filled with complexity and diversity, with different communities having different understandings of "truth." Intuition Protocol addresses the limitations of prediction markets by introducing multidimensional expressions. Users can express their trust in information through signals and annotate its relevance and context. Unlike the simple binary choices of prediction markets, Intuition Protocol allows multiple viewpoints to coexist and be rewarded.
Core Technology: Atoms and Triples
The technical framework of Intuition Protocol is based on two core concepts: Atoms and Triples.
Atoms: Atoms are the most basic units of knowledge, representing unique decentralized identifiers (DIDs). They can be a word, a concept, or a piece of complex information. For example, the singular identifier for "Ethereum" will be determined by the market, ensuring global consistency and relevance of data. Users can express support for an Atom through signals, forming a decentralized "Token Curated Graph."
Triples: Triples define the relationships between Atoms, using a "subject-predicate-object" semantic structure, such as: [The New York Times][is][a reliable news source]. Users indicate their support or opposition to a Triple through signals, forming an economically driven validation system.
Signal Economy and Incentive Mechanism
Intuition Protocol achieves ranking and validation of information through a signal economy. Users express support for Atoms or Triples by locking the native token TRUST. TRUST is used not only to measure the relevance of information but also to verify its authenticity. Through economic incentives, users can contribute to the quality and credibility of information while receiving rewards. This design prevents spam and encourages the generation of high-quality data.
Application Scenarios and User Experience
At the application layer, ordinary users do not need to understand the complex technologies of Atoms or Triples but can interact with the protocol through intuitive applications. For example, a Reddit-like application can display community signals regarding information, or an AI assistant can provide information based on an open and verifiable knowledge graph. For developers, Intuition Protocol offers a shared structured knowledge graph, reducing development costs and accelerating innovation. For users, their preferences, trust circles, and reputations can seamlessly migrate with applications, truly achieving data sovereignty.
The Core Role of the TRUST Token
The TRUST token is the core driving force of Intuition Protocol. It is used not only for transaction fees within the network but also as an economic signal to help the community reach consensus. Through the TRUST token, users can endorse information, and developers can benefit from the appreciation of the token, thus forming a sustainable ecosystem.
Strategic Significance in the Age of AI
With the rise of AI-driven searches, the problem of information centralization is becoming increasingly severe. Intuition Protocol provides a solution by building an open and verifiable data foundation. AI systems can utilize the structured data within Atoms and Triples to provide users with answers that have context and credibility, rather than relying on a single black-box model.
Initial Achievements and Future Plans
Intuition Protocol has achieved significant results in its testing phase: over 244,000 users participated, completing 5.3 million transactions, of which 5.1 million were for data validation. These numbers indicate a genuine demand for decentralized information markets. Next, the team will complete the final preparations for the mainnet, including security audits and data migration, to ensure the stability and scalability of the system.
Over the past decade, we have focused on building "trustless" cryptographic technologies that allow assets to flow without intermediaries. However, the true changers of the internet are not just money, but trust and knowledge. Intuition Protocol is building the foundational layer of the next generation internet by making trust visible, measurable, and community-recognized. It not only changes the way information is organized but also transforms the way people interact with information. The vision of Intuition Protocol is a decentralized discovery center, making information a shared, composable resource, providing a transparent, verifiable, and truly owned information world for humanity, communities, and even AI agents.
