Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Dragonchain is a legitimate, established blockchain project with origins at Disney (2014) and a 2017 launch. While the technical foundation (hybrid public/private interoperability) remains valid and recent regulatory wins (SEC dismissal in 2025) provide a survival signal, the project currently exhibits 'zombie' metrics with a low market cap (~$4M) and minimal daily trading volume (~$100k). The submission itself was of very poor quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') which severely penalized the Reach and Traction scores. The final score reflects a legacy project with functional tech but niche adoption, weighed down by a deceptive submission.
