+485
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'DEFIYIELD' (now rebranded as De.Fi) is a legitimate, high-traction platform in the cryptocurrency space, offering a 'Web3 Antivirus' and portfolio tracker. External verification confirms millions of users, significant investor backing, and a launched token ($DEFI). However, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the extremely low quality of the submission. The submitter provided lazy, hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and zero verifiable data, forcing the evaluation to rely entirely on external knowledge. While the project itself is a Tier-1 utility in its niche (comparable to or exceeding the calibration reference in complexity), the 'Response Quality' and 'Quality Factors' are drastically reduced due to the poor input.
