Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project, DeFinity Markets, is a verifiable institutional digital asset ECN (Electronic Communication Network) with existing partnerships (Fireblocks, Utila) and a traded token (DEFX, ~$2.8M market cap). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (Audience Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and irrelevant data (Technology: 'construction'). While the underlying business solves a legitimate problem in the B2B crypto space, the Proof of Usefulness score is severely impacted by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the hyperbolic claims that contradict the niche, institutional nature of the actual product.
