Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Banxa is a prominent, verifiable global fiat-to-crypto infrastructure provider with significant revenue (~$50M+ AUD) and a recent acquisition by OSL Group (Jan 2026). While the submission text itself was of extremely poor quality (hyperbolic claims, missing data), external verification confirms the project's high utility, large user base (1.6M+ verified), and successful market exit. The score reflects the project's real-world success and scale, heavily penalized by the lack of specific technical evidence and effort in the submission.
