Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Chorus One is a highly established institutional staking provider with over $2.8 billion in assets under management (AUM) and a team of ~50. While the submission itself contained low-quality placeholder text (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and a mismatched name ('SwiftKeeper'), external verification confirms it is a market leader in the Proof-of-Stake infrastructure space. The project significantly exceeds the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) in terms of capital impact and infrastructure criticality, though consumer reach is more niche.
