The problem intori solves

Intori solves the problem of meaningful discovery and connection in decentralized social spaces.

The Core Problem:

Social apps, especially in web3 and decentralized ecosystems, struggle with:

• Low-quality connections (random follows, bots, no context)
• Superficial engagement (likes, airdrops, farming, but no real insight into people)
• Lack of personalization (everyone sees the same content, same people)

How intori Solves It:

Intori helps people express who they are and connect with others based on meaningful traits, not just proximity or popularity.

1. Ask Insightful Questions
   → Users answer quick, thoughtful prompts about their preferences, values, routines, and beliefs.

2. Build a Personal Profile of Insights
   → Instead of shallow bios, users build a rich self-portrait that AI can understand and match.

3. Gift-based Matching
   → Intori turns discovery into a social game: you “gift” tokens to people you resonate with. This creates a warm, generous way to meet new people.

4. Earning Through Authenticity
   → You earn by being honest, active, and thoughtful.

5. Signal Quality in Decentralized Social
   → Intori becomes a trust layer on top of open protocols (like Farcaster), surfacing real, human signals in a sea of noise.

Big Picture:

Intori is creating a personal data layer that enables better discovery, connection, and AI personalization, all built from the inside out, based on what people say about themselves.

Challenges I ran into

As an early builder on Farcaster, we’ve had to continuously adapt, from Frames v1 to the new Mini Apps infrastructure. Each shift required rethinking UX, rebuilding features, and ensuring a seamless experience across both Farcaster and Base apps.

Cross-platform compatibility has been a consistent challenge making sure intori works smoothly within different apps and UI environments, especially as users come from apps with varying levels of support and behavior.

Spam and bot detection is another area we’ve had to invest heavily in. Because intori is about connecting with real people, the quality of the network is critical. We’ve developed and refined our own anti-spam system, which requires constant tuning to filter out bad actors without harming legitimate users.

Through all of this, we’ve stayed live and kept shipping, but these challenges have required deep focus on performance, trust, and user experience at every layer.
