One token weights the entire knowledge graph — aligning everyone who writes, curates, and serves information.

Gas → Signal → Query
Gas
TRUST is the gas token of the Intuition network. Every transaction — including every write to the graph — settles in TRUST.
Signal
Use TRUST to stake FOR or AGAINST claims. That economic weight turns individual conviction into a signal the network can read.
Query
Pay in TRUST to query the graph. Those fees flow to the people who signaled on the information behind the answer.
02 / Why a token at all
Trust has to cost something.
A knowledge graph anyone can write to needs a way to tell signal from spam. TRUST is that way. Writing, staking, and querying all carry a cost — so noise is expensive and conviction is legible. An attack on the graph is just a donation to it.

Skin in the game
Claims backed by real stake can be weighed. Claims that aren't, can't.
Spam has a price
Fees make junk data and Sybil attacks economically irrational.
Attacks pay the network
Hostile volume still pays fees — straight to the people maintaining the graph.
Consensus with a market
Stake converges on the identifiers and claims worth keeping. The crowd's conviction becomes the ranking signal.
03 / Put it to work
Gas. Signal. Query.
Three jobs. One token.

TRUST is the gas token that powers every transaction on the network.
TRUST is required to stake on claims and make conviction legible.
Queries are paid in TRUST, and those fees flow to the people who signaled.
Gas
TRUST is the gas token of the Intuition network. Every transaction — including every write to the graph — settles in TRUST.
Every write and transaction pays its own way in the network's native token.
Signal
Use TRUST to stake FOR or AGAINST claims. That economic weight turns individual conviction into a signal the network can read.
Deposits buy shares in a claim's vault. Staked TRUST turns belief into an economic signal.
Query
Pay in TRUST to query the graph. Those fees flow to the people who signaled on the information behind the answer.
Query fees flow to the people whose signals help surface useful answers.
