Use Cases

The Power of Programmable Trust

Intuition's unique architecture enables a new paradigm of digital interactions where trust is not just assumed, but programmatically verified and incentivized. Our decentralized knowledge graph provides the foundation for applications that can:

Core Capabilities

• Verify and validate any claim or assertion with cryptographic proof
• Build reputation systems that work across platforms and applications
• Create economic incentives for quality contributions and honest behavior
• Enable cross-platform identity that users truly own and control
• Foster collaborative knowledge through community-driven curation

By leveraging Intuition's primitives (Atoms, Triples, and Signal), developers can create applications that fundamentally change how we think about trust, reputation, and collaboration online.

Detailed Implementation Examples

Decentralized Social Media Platform

Learn how to build a decentralized social media platform using Intuition's primitives. This example demonstrates how to create a feature-rich social network with decentralized content ownership and monetization.

Architecture Overview

interface Profile extends Atom {
  username: string;
  bio: string;
  avatar: string;
  followers: number;
}

interface Post extends Atom {
  content: string;
  media?: string[];
  tags: string[];
  monetization?: {
    enabled: boolean;
    curveId: string;
  };
}

interface Follow extends Triple {
  timestamp: number;
  notification: boolean;
}

Implementation Guide

1. User Profiles

// Create a new profile
const profile = await intuition.createAtom({
  type: 'profile',
  content: {
    username: 'alice',
    bio: 'Blockchain developer',
    avatar: 'ipfs://...'
  }
});

// Set up profile monetization
const creatorCurve = await intuition.createBondingCurve({
  type: 'exponential',
  parameters: {
    initialPrice: 1.0,
    growthRate: 0.1
  }
});

2. Content Creation

// Create a new post
const post = await intuition.createAtom({
  type: 'post',
  content: {
    content: 'Exploring Intuition primitives...',
    tags: ['blockchain', 'web3'],
    monetization: {
      enabled: true,
      curveId: creatorCurve.id
    }
  }
});

// Link post to profile
await intuition.createTriple({
  subject: profile.id,
  predicate: 'AUTHORED',
  object: post.id
});

3. Social Connections

// Follow a profile
await intuition.createTriple({
  subject: follower.id,
  predicate: 'FOLLOWS',
  object: profile.id,
  metadata: {
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    notification: true
  }
});

// Query followers
const followers = await intuition.queryTriples({
  subject: profile.id,
  predicate: 'FOLLOWED_BY'
});

4. Content Monetization

// Enable post monetization
const postCurve = await intuition.createBondingCurve({
  type: 'linear',
  parameters: {
    initialPrice: 0.1,
    slope: 0.05
  }
});

// Users can purchase access to premium content
await intuition.purchaseFromCurve(postCurve.id, {
  amount: 1.0,
  buyer: user.id
});

Decentralized Q&A Platform

Learn how to build a decentralized Stack Overflow-like platform using Intuition's primitives. This example demonstrates how to create a fully functional Q&A application with decentralized ownership and incentives.

Architecture Overview

interface Question extends Atom {
  title: string;
  content: string;
  tags: string[];
  bounty?: number;
}

interface Answer extends Atom {
  content: string;
  accepted: boolean;
}

interface Vote extends Triple {
  direction: 'up' | 'down';
  weight: number;
}

Implementation Guide

1. Setting Up Questions

// Create a new question
const question = await intuition.createAtom({
  type: 'question',
  content: {
    title: 'How to implement bonding curves?',
    content: questionContent,
    tags: ['defi', 'bonding-curves']
  }
});

// Add bounty using bonding curve
const bounty = await intuition.createBounty(question.id, {
  curveType: 'linear',
  initialAmount: 100
});

2. Managing Answers

// Submit an answer
const answer = await intuition.createAtom({
  type: 'answer',
  content: {
    content: answerContent,
    accepted: false
  }
});

// Link answer to question using triple
await intuition.createTriple({
  subject: question.id,
  predicate: 'HAS_ANSWER',
  object: answer.id
});

3. Implementing Voting

// Create a vote
await intuition.createTriple({
  subject: user.id,
  predicate: 'VOTES',
  object: answer.id,
  metadata: {
    direction: 'up',
    weight: userReputation
  }
});

// Update answer reputation
await updateReputation(answer.id);

4. Reputation System

// Define reputation curve
const reputationCurve = await intuition.createBondingCurve({
  type: 'polynomial',
  parameters: {
    baseReward: 10,
    votePower: 1.5
  }
});

// Award reputation for good answers
await intuition.awardReputation(answer.id, {
  amount: calculatedReward,
  curveId: reputationCurve.id
});
