Key takeaways
- Intuition’s mainnet launch positions it as a pioneer in information finance, transforming verified data into an on-chain asset class that can be owned, traded and monetized.
- The project implements its protocol as layer 3 Arbitrum Orbit running on Base, Ethereum L2 developed by Coinbase.

Intuition, a blockchain purpose-built for information finance (InfoFi), has entered full production with the launch of its mainnet and TRUST token, according to an announcement on Wednesday.
The launch follows a robust beta and testnet phase, which saw significant engagement from 244,000 participants and over 5 million transactions and attestations on Base.
“Today’s mainnet launch marks the culmination of years of work to decentralize how information and the value it creates flows across the web,” Billy Luedtke, the project’s founder and CEO, said in a statement. “We’re moving beyond using decentralized rails just for finance, to decentralizing information itself, so people, communities, and AI agents can access the data they need, when they need it, from sources they trust, without intermediaries, and more directly share the value they help create.
The network’s goal is to make information, identity and trust portable and verifiable in applications and AI systems, allowing developers to access open on-chain data enriched with transparent provenance and cryptographic guarantees.
To do this, Intuition transforms collaborative attestations from people and platforms into a structured and verifiable knowledge graph.
Each claim is cryptographically signed and anchored to decentralized identifiers, creating a transparent record of provenance and trustworthiness. Developers and AI systems can query this graph to assess the trustworthiness of entities and data sources, derive probabilistic trust scores, and create products that operate on verified information.
Intuition has raised $8.5 million from investors including Shima Capital, Superscrypt, ConsenSys, Polygon and F-Prime, with CoinList and Legion also supporting the initiative.
“Intuition is building one of the Internet’s largest untapped markets: information itself. By aligning incentives with structured, portable knowledge, they are opening up a new category of information finance that we are excited to support. The community response to our platform highlights the demand for credible, on-chain data primitives,” said Scott Keto, President of CoinList.
Intuition is built as an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 3 stack that sits on top of the base, optimized for high-throughput information operations.
The TRUST token secures the network and aligns incentives between builders, users and AI systems.
Network participants can create, curate, and stake TRUST tokens on identities and claims within Intuition’s decentralized knowledge graph, earning rewards for accuracy and losing share for misinformation.
