Intuition is a protocol designed to build a decentralised knowledge graph that allows individuals, organisations, and applications to assert, verify, and access claims about identities and entities. The network provides a cryptographically verifiable structure for storing claims in a way that is composable, permissionless, and trust-anchored.

The protocol enables onchain and offchain entities to make attestations, called claims, about others. These claims can represent attributes such as social handles, credentials, roles, skills, affiliations, or relationships. Each claim is stored onchain and linked to both the claimant and the subject.

The protocol’s architecture supports the creation of nested “Knowledge Graphs” composed of these claim structures. These graphs can be accessed by applications for use in trust scoring, discovery, identity linking, and other verification logic.

Core components include:

• Entities – individuals or organisations represented by decentralised identifiers
• Claims – assertions about entities (e.g., “Alice is a developer”)
• Attestors – those who issue claims, either directly or through delegation
• Knowledge Graphs – composable networks of claims, linked and filtered by context

The system is chain-agnostic, supports identity-linked namespaces, and includes mechanisms for claim weighting, sourcing, expiry, and dispute handling. It provides a decentralised alternative to traditional identity and reputation systems.

TRUST is the native token of the Intuition protocol. It is used to coordinate participation, incentivise network operations, and manage the governance of the knowledge graph ecosystem.

TRUST is used to:

• Pay network fees for claim creation, resolution, and verification
• Incentivise attestors who provide useful, accurate, and timely claims
• Stake for reputation weight and participation in trust scoring logic
• Govern protocol parameters including claim schemas, resolution logic, and dispute handling processes
• Access premium claim layers or gated Knowledge Graphs with weighted contributions

The token supports an economic model where actors are rewarded for high-quality participation and penalised for abuse or misinformation. Fees are required for creating and resolving claims, and staking is necessary for elevated influence in the network’s reputation mechanisms.

• Claim creation and verification across onchain and offchain identity frameworks
• Staking for attestation trustworthiness and claim weighting
• Accessing data layers and graph queries within the protocol
• Participating in governance related to schema definitions, claim logic, and system upgrades
• Incentivising knowledge graph formation and cross-entity mapping

The token is embedded in protocol-level logic to coordinate actions across participants and maintain the integrity of the decentralised trust infrastructure.
