The project 'Affine DeFi' is a legitimate, venture-backed protocol (raised ~$14M from Coinbase, Jump, etc.) offering cross-chain yield and restaking services. However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring verifiable falsehoods (e.g., traction claimed as 'most people have used my product'), non-sensical data ('leadership' listed as technology), and a lack of effort. While the underlying technology and capital backing provide a baseline of potential, the discrepancy between the significant funding and the relatively low current on-chain traction (~4,600 wallets, ~$1M TVL) combined with the unprofessional submission results in a heavily penalized score.
