Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Blockworks is a highly verified, top-tier crypto media and information platform with significant traction ($27M+ estimated revenue, $135M Series A valuation). Despite the high-value project reality, the submission itself was low-effort (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and using hyperbole for traction). The score reflects the exceptional real-world utility and verified market position, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission evidence.
