Aelf is a verified, established Layer 1 blockchain project (founded 2017) with significant financial traction (Market Cap ~$70M-$145M) and a large team (~50+). While the project's longevity and capital resources justify a high score, the submission itself contained hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'), which necessitated a penalty on the quality factors. The recent pivot to AI-integrated blockchain (April 2024) indicates strong market timing, though actual user adoption of these new features remains to be proven compared to the financial valuation.
