Escaping the Cave: The Identity Ideal
Understanding our reflections in the hall of mirrors“I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.” — Charles Horton Cooley Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” found in Book VII of The Republic, has been a cornerstone of philosophical discussion for over two millennia (fun fact — it was also the cornerstone of my (Billy’s) middle-school valedictorian speech (thanks dad)). It describes prisoners chained in a cave, forced to watch shadows on the wal...

Intuition: Side Quest Season Recap
Five weeks. Five MVPs. Hackathon Finalists. Sometimes, you just gotta #BUIDL. For the Intuition team, the month of March was full of experiments, side quests, and puzzle pieces falling into place.

A History of Attestation Infrastructure | Part 1
Where we’ve come from and where we are going.The BeginningIn the earliest days of Ethereum, a novel concept emerged — instead of only signing codified transactional data with our Ethereum accounts, what if we made it easy to sign ANY piece of data? Though signing messages with private keys to make statements / attestations / pieces of data “cryptographically verifiable” was not a novel concept, the proliferation of consumer-centric PKI in the form of “blockchain accounts” made this a potentia...
