Astar Network

Astar Network is a verifiable, high-impact infrastructure project within the Polkadot ecosystem, offering significant utility through EVM/WASM interoperability and its 'Build2Earn' model. External verification confirms major partnerships (Sony, Toyota) and substantial market presence (Top 100-200 crypto assets), placing it in the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier. However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing verifiable falsehoods (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. Consequently, while the project scores highly on utility and innovation due to its established nature, the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' scores were penalized heavily via Quality Factors to reflect the discrepancy between the project's reality and the submission's effort.
