+820
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission describes 'bloXroute Labs' (a well-established Series B blockchain infrastructure company with ~$90M funding), despite the mismatched project name 'SwiftKeeper' and low-effort metadata fields. Verifiable external search confirms bloXroute is a critical player in DeFi/MEV ('Flash Boys' for crypto), servicing over 300 institutional customers with $1.5B+ daily volume. The score reflects the project's massive real-world utility, proven traction, and technical sophistication, heavily discounted by a poor quality submission (incorrect name, hyperbolic 'everyone' audience claims, and vague metadata).
