Intuition Network

Intuition Network is a specialized Layer 3 blockchain built on Arbitrum Orbit, optimized for knowledge graph operations and decentralized attestations.

Architecture​

Intuition leverages a multi-layer architecture designed for performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability:

  • Layer 3 on Base - Built using Arbitrum Orbit technology
  • AnyTrust DA - Arbitrum's data availability solution for scalability
  • Specialized for Knowledge Graphs - Optimized for semantic triple operations
  • EVM Compatible - Full Ethereum smart contract compatibility

Performance Benefits​

  • ~10,000x cheaper than Ethereum mainnet
  • ~100x faster transaction times
  • Block time: ~2 seconds
  • Transaction finality: Less than 10 seconds
  • Throughput: 1000+ TPS

Network Details​

Testnet​

The Intuition testnet is currently active for development and testing.

Testnet Tools:

Mainnet​

Coming soon! Testnet is currently active for development.

Running a Node​

Want to run your own Intuition node for indexing and querying the knowledge graph?

Node Setup - Contact support for node setup information

Running a node provides:

  • Full data access - Complete knowledge graph indexing
  • Custom queries - Direct database access
  • GraphQL API - Self-hosted query capabilities
  • Privacy - No reliance on third-party infrastructure

Infrastructure Components​

RPC Endpoints​

Managed infrastructure providing API access to the network:

  • HTTP RPC: For standard web3 calls
  • WebSocket RPC: For real-time subscriptions
  • Rate limiting: Fair usage policies apply

Use the RPC endpoint at https://testnet.rpc.intuition.systems/ for development.

Indexing Layer​

The Rust-based indexing subnet provides:

  • Fast queries - Optimized database for knowledge graph traversal
  • GraphQL API - Flexible query language for complex graph operations
  • Real-time updates - Live data synchronization
  • Semantic search - Full-text search across atoms and triples

Learn more: GraphQL API

Settlement Layer​

Transactions settle to Base (via Base Sepolia for testnet):

  • Security inheritance - Leverages Ethereum's security
  • Data availability - AnyTrust committee ensures data availability
  • Fraud proofs - Optimistic rollup security model

Network Economics​

Gas Costs​

Gas costs on Intuition are dramatically lower than Ethereum:

  • Atom creation: ~1/10,000th the cost
  • Triple creation: ~1/10,000th the cost
  • Vault operations: ~1/10,000th the cost

Native Token​

$TRUST is the native token of Intuition Network:

  • Gas fees - Pay for transactions
  • Staking - Signal on atoms and triples
  • Governance - (Coming soon)

See Signals for information about staking and token usage.
