Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Africarare is a verified 'metaverse' project (Ubuntuland) with significant corporate partnerships (MTN, Nedbank) established around 2022. However, the project submission contains demonstrably false claims ('everyone' has used it, 'most people' traction), which severely impacts the score. While the token (UBU) has a market cap of ~$4M and the project has real B2B traction, the active user base is niche (likely <1,000), contrasting with the submission's claims. The project fits the 'Small but promising' calibration tier due to corporate backing, despite low user adoption and poor submission quality.
