While EdgeIn (edgein.io) is a verified and functional Web3 data intelligence platform that was reportedly acquired by Xade in Jan 2025 and has raised seed funding, the submission itself is of critically low quality. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. The listed team size of '1' contradicts external data showing 11-50 employees and a known leadership team. The project has real-world utility and traction (50k+ indexed companies), but the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the submission's failure to provide accurate evidence, relying instead on vague and inaccurate assertions.
