The project appears to be Allink Co., Ltd. (Korea), a fintech provider known for NFC tag-based payments on iOS. While the technology was innovative for bypassing Apple's NFC restrictions prior to Apple Pay's launch in Korea, the primary use case (Mirae Asset Pay) was discontinued in June 2023 following Apple Pay's official entry. The submission contains hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), and the provided URL (allink.io) does not resolve to the primary business site. The combination of obsolete market timing, loss of major traction, and poor submission quality results in a low score.
