Backed by $8.5 million from Superscrypt, Shima, F-Prime (Fidelity), ConsenSys, Polygon, CoinList, and Legion, Intuition launches its mainnet to build the decentralized trust layer for AI and the internet.
Intuition, the native chain for Information Finance, today announced the launch of its mainnet and the completion of its $8.5 million total funding round, marking a major milestone toward building a public, composable trust layer for the internet and AI. With this launch, Intuition transitions from successful beta and testnet phases into full production, empowering developers and AI systems to create, curate, and access verifiable on-chain data — driving a more transparent and trustworthy digital ecosystem.
Billy Luedtke, Founder & CEO of Intuition, said:
“Today’s mainnet launch marks the culmination of years of work to decentralize how information and the value it creates flow across the web. 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.”
Just as the cloud made it possible for everyone to share computing power instead of running their own servers, Intuition does the same for information, identity, and trust. On mainnet, developers can tap into a shared, open network of verifiable data instead of rebuilding databases and reputation systems from scratch. For users, that means your identity, relationships, preferences, and data can move freely between apps and AI tools. And for AI, it means access to information with clear provenance and reputation — so agents can cite and transact on reputable knowledge, rather than scraping potentially hallucinated, fake, or poisoned data from unverifiable sources.
Intuition’s total confirmed funding now stands at $8.5 million, reflecting prior venture backing and the recent, sold-out community token sales on CoinList and Legion. Intuition’s roster of backers includes many Tier-1 investors such as Superscrypt, Shima, F-Prime (Fidelity), ConsenSys, and Polygon, and notable angels such as Joseph Lubin (Co-founder of Ethereum, Founder of Consensys) and Jonathan Christodoro (Board of Directors, PayPal).
Scott Keto, President of CoinList, said:
“Intuition building one of the internet’s largest untapped markets: information itself. By aligning incentives around structured, portable knowledge, they’re opening a new information finance] category we’re excited to support. The community response through our platform underscores demand for credible, on-chain data primitives.”
The launch follows strong early traction, with Intuition’s beta on Base drawing over 244,000 participants, more than 5.3 million transactions, and over 5.1 million verified attestations. The most recent testnet cycle saw over 17.5 million transactions from over 900,000 unique accounts in approximately eight weeks. The team has also advanced ecosystem efforts that include integrations and collaborations across Web2 and Web3, including Google Cloud, MetaMask, Zero Gravity (0g), World, Fleek, Recall Network, Consensys, and Gaia.
Matty O’Connor, Co-Founder of Legion, said:
“Legion is built to enable crypto primitives like Intuition to connect with real users and value-add retail. It’s capital formation and community formation in one. The momentum behind Intuition’s InfoFi products and token-curated knowledge graph resonated with Legion users and we were proud to host a sold-out sale.”
The Intuition Network architecture is an Arbitrum Orbit Layer-3 (L3) rollup settling to Base, purpose-built for high-throughput information operations. The protocol introduces Atoms (canonical, token-curated identifiers) and Triples (subject-predicate-object statements) to form a Token Curated Graph that determines both relevance and credibility via staking, bonding curves, and fee flows. Developers can use $TRUST for gas, data creation fees, curation (staking on vaults), governance via bonded TRUST, and query fees (as end users gain fractional ownership in the knowledge they contribute).

About Intuition
The first blockchain (a Base L3) purpose-built for InfoFi, transforming information into a programmable, verifiable, and monetizable asset class. Intuition enables facts, claims, reputations, and attestations to move as freely as tokens — backed by economic weight and owned by the people who create and curate them. Powered by the Intuition Protocol and the $TRUST token, Intuition democratizes the ownership, value capture, and distribution of the world’s information.
