Gaining Momentum

Electra Protocol (XEP) is a legitimate but micro-cap Layer-1 blockchain project (approx. $4M market cap) focused on payments. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring demonstrably false claims of mass adoption ('most people have used my product') and vague data. While the technology is functional and the project has existed since 2021, it lacks significant market traction or differentiation in the crowded L1 sector.
