The project (CESS - Cumulus Encrypted Storage System) appears to be a legitimate Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) project with venture funding and active testnet participation. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking specific technical details. While the underlying technology and market timing are promising, the poor quality of the application and exaggerated traction claims significantly penalize the Proof of Usefulness score.
