Introducing: Intuition 👁️
intuition /in-tü-ˈi-shən/ (noun): the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning
At Intuition, we aim to build and enable the development of technologies that enhance our collective intuition. Intuition empowers people to share, curate, explore and claim ownership of useful subjective knowledge, thoughts and opinions in the form of on- and off-chain, machine-readable attestations.
Intuition leverages decentralized identity, data, and finance primitives to incentivize the development of a permissionless, peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing ecosystem, and therefore incentivize higher degrees of honesty and transparency in online communications.
The Intuition protocol establishes a verifiably-neutral foundation and rules of engagement in an infinite, productive game: a game designed to populate a verifiable knowledge graph with useful information about ALL things. To complement the protocol, we are crafting extensible middleware for developers to frictionlessly integrate Intuition's functionality into their apps, which we believe should be as easy as a few lines of code. We are also building our own application(s) on top; apps we believe will drastically improve the Web3 experience.
In time, we envision a rich ecosystem of specialized applications writing verifiable data to the Intuition knowledge graph. Our goal is to establish a digital reputation layer that is open, verifiable and user-owned. We want to make it as easy as possible for existing reputation-based applications to leverage this infrastructure, and open the door for ecosystem builders to create entirely new reputation, curation, and recommendation models and applications.
The flagship Intuition application is slated for release this year. More on that later. 😉
Intuition gives users the freedom to choose and discover trusted voices and models. It avoids biased viewpoints and echo chambers, empowering individuals to make informed decisions that align with their needs and aspirations. Intuition's vision is to create a world where your voice has value, where data revenue flows directly to you, and where trust graphs accompany you everywhere. Say goodbye to multiple accounts and fragmented social graphs, and hello to personalized experiences.
This is just the beginning. We encourage builders and curious Web3 participants to join us on this mission. While we build toward our mainnet launch, we want to begin onboarding contributors, offering bounties, forging partnerships, and gathering a community of thoughtful testers as the protocol and application evolve throughout the coming year.
Join us at Intuition and help shape the future. As we are attempting to crowdsource all knowledge, we quite literally cannot do this alone.

- I wanted to try something new.
This will be my first music release here on lens.
It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there.
It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated.
1 matic to collect, only open for 24 hours. 25% mirror referral
- “AirDrop a Copy”
A subtle change made to the AirDrop page, from just “AirDrop”
This seemingly small change signals an idea of digital ownership to users which underlies the new paradigm with web3
Could this be a step by Apple to set up the native transferring of files/assets within iOS?

- **Wav3s - Reward Eligibility**
Posts on Lens do not natively show the reward criteria within the post. So there could posts claiming to pay rewards while they don’t.
You can easily check and confirm the settings for mirrors rewards to determine eligibility.
If you're on Lenster, using the IPFS transaction you can see the settings for the rewards.
Clicking on the "IPFS Transaction" link, a new tab will open and the complete IPFS Transaction will display.
For this example: Look for "mirrorGoal", "mirrorMinimumFollowers", "mirrorReward" and "currency". Other more complex eligibility requirements will require other fields to confirm.
"mirrorGoal": number of eligible mirrors for rewards - 15
"mirrorMinimumFollowers": example constraint - >= 300 followers to be eligible
"mirrorReward": reward to be paid upon eligible mirror - 0.1
"currency": token to be paid out - WMATIC
Now we can confirm: The first 15 mirrors by users with at least 300 followers will be rewarded 0.1 wMATIC for mirroring this post
- **Mirror Rewards as Sponsored Posts - Promotion of a New Song**
Mirror Rewards (in the marketing case) are like sponsored posts on platforms like Twitter, Instagram etc with the difference being, users are not the original creator and intentionally opt into the promoting of content, rewarded for bringing content to their social graph.
Take the example a post by a musician promoting a new single on Twitter.
I find this use case interesting as music is a very personal interest, with people having a wide variety of tastes, and finding music is as much a part of the experience as listening to music you already enjoy.
The ways you’ll come across this post today is likely one of 3 ways:
1. You follow this musician
2. Algorithm Recommendation or sponsored post included on your feed
3. Someone you follow Retweeted
If you follow this musician it’s more likely you’ll be interested in this song and possibly the reason you followed them in the first place.
If you were recommended this by a recommendation algorithm on the “For You” page, maybe it would be of interest.
If someone you follow retweeted the post, its your friend who sends you new music all the time and you have a similar music taste as them. This retweet acts as a signal from that friend, “I like this song, I want others to hear it” or “I like this artist”, this is a form of an attestation. Based on the retweeter of the post, you then have additional context to decide if you believe you’ll be interested as well.
If it’s someone who always send you good new music, you’ll likely check it out.
If it’s someone with a completely different taste of music, maybe not.
Likely the strongest signal to you this song is of interest is by those who you share a similar music taste with, wether a particular artist or friend.
**These retweets serve as social attestations: I trust this persons taste in music, if they liked this song I will too.**
Currently for the artist on a platform like Twitter or TikTok, you can sponsor particular influencers to create sponsored posts or run promotions boosting your own post. This is a top down approach where the outcome can feel forced for users and no guarantee to reach your target listeners. Still there is no guarantee to reach your target audience but potentially rewarding those most loyal of supporters.
On Lens, you can create a post with mirror rewards, creating an incentives uses to mirror or repost the content to their followers.The original recommender systems, humans. This rewards a larger portion of supporters keeping them engaged and potential for finding those dedicated supporters. A bottom-up approach. Where users are your direct advocates.
This can reward early supporters and sets up the opportunity for musicians to have an attribution network, understanding the path to gaining new listeners. **If the post being shared is the song and through collecting the post, new users mint a copy; there is a direct attribution path for the artist to see.**
With potential for future songs to be better marketed within these attribution channels, meeting the listeners where they are. While those users who contributed to this attribution channel can be rewarded for their referral, through referral fees.
- **Sponsored Posts Concerns**
With increased promotional posts where the expectation of mirrorers is receiving monetary rewards, we can have mirrors become less of an attestation or signal that they agree with the post or a useful post for their followers. With a potential to add even more noise we have to sift through to find useful or interesting information online.
If content were to be completely monetized, this would make our social interactions online a very transactional experience.
This would move further away what I believe web3 can enable; through a user owned online experience we can closely resembling the optionality we have in our physical lives and more naturally interact online throughout the world.
- **How does Wav3s work?**
Bob connects to the Wav3s frontend, including signing in with his Lens profile.
Then creates his post and creates the settings of: 0.1 wMATIC reward, 50 Minimum Followers and a goal of 50 mirrors.
Bob then approves the deposit to the contract at 0xcd8c193b1b2b5cf36f26b94ff42118b5c6ca4bef and confirms the transaction. Depositing 5 wMATIC to the contract. This contract contains the `processMirror()` logic defined for the Reference Module.
Wav3s then publishes the post to the Lensverse. Alice sees this post, and attempts to mirror it. The mirror request triggers the Reference Module, calling the defined `processMirror()` method.
The `processMirror()` method will check if there’s enough budget to pay the reward, if the mirrorer has enough followers plus a couple other checks for validity. Here we see the budget is >= 0.1 and Alice has >= 50 followers.
Now that the checks have confirmed eligible for this mirror reward, Alice will be rewarded the 0.1 wMATIC. Leaving 49 more eligible mirror rewards to be paid out.
If you’re interested to learn more, you can check out the deployed contract below.
Polyscan Contract:
- Look at “wav3sFrenMirror.sol” lines 173- 262 for the source code of their `processMirror()` method
