Archblock

+651
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission describes Archblock, a significant blockchain infrastructure company (formerly TrustToken) responsible for TrueFi and TrueUSD (TUSD), which has processed billions in volume. However, the submission quality is critically low: the project name is listed as 'StarForge' (an unrelated astrophysics project), and the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is factually false and hyperbolic. Despite the high real-world utility and verifiable multi-billion dollar traction of the actual entity (Archblock), the score is heavily penalized due to the erratic and low-effort submission data.
