+423
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project is identified as Avalanche, a major Layer 1 blockchain with significant real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing copied descriptions (referencing HackerNoon), false claims ('everyone', 'most people'), and missing data (revenue, team size). While the entity's established status justifies high base scores for utility and innovation, the 'Quality Factor' penalties for the submission's lack of evidence and vague claims significantly reduce the final Proof of Usefulness score.
