ConsenSys-backed Intuition launches mainnet and $TRUST token, aiming to build a public trust layer for the internet

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 an Arbitrum Orbit layer 3 settling 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 a Wednesday announcement.

The launch follows a solid beta and testnet phase, which saw meaningful engagement across 244,000 participants and more than 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 flow across the web,” said Billy Luedtke, founder and CEO of the project, in a statement. “We’re moving beyond using decentralized rails solely for finance, toward decentralizing information itself—so that people, communities, and AI agents can access the data they need, when they need it, from sources they trust, without intermediaries—and share more directly in the value they help create.”

The network’s goal is to make information, identity, and trust portable and verifiable across applications and AI systems, enabling developers to access open, on-chain data enriched with transparent provenance and cryptographic guarantees.

Intuition does this by turning crowdsourced attestations from people and platforms into a structured, verifiable knowledge graph.

Each claim is cryptographically signed and anchored to decentralized identifiers, creating a transparent record of provenance and reliability. Developers and AI systems can query this graph to assess the trustworthiness of entities and data sources, derive probabilistic trust scores, and build 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 backing the initiative.

“Intuition is building one of the internet’s largest untapped markets: information itself. By aligning incentives around structured, portable knowledge, they’re opening up a new information finance category we’re excited to support. The community response to our platform underscores the demand for credible, on-chain data primitives,” said Scott Keto, President of CoinList.

Intuition is built as an Arbitrum Orbit layer 3 rollup that settles on Base, optimized for high-throughput information operations.

The TRUST token secures the network and aligns incentives among builders, users, and AI systems.

The network’s participants can create, curate, and stake TRUST tokens on identities and claims within Intuition’s decentralized knowledge graph, earning rewards for accuracy and losing stake for misinformation.
