The project 'disBalancer' (Token: DDOS) is a verifiable but currently dormant cryptocurrency project originally launched in 2021 for decentralized DDoS protection. While it gained temporary traction in 2022 with the 'Liberator' app during the start of the Ukraine conflict, current market data indicates the project is effectively dead, with a token price down >99% from ATH and negligible daily trading volume (<$50). The submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which severely impacts the score.
