Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

DLC.Link is a legitimate and technically innovative project bringing native Bitcoin to DeFi using Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), verified through external sources (Seed funding of $3M, partnerships with Chainlink/OKX). However, the specific project submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical tags ('construction'). The score reflects the high potential and utility of the underlying technology, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the poor response quality.
