Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Goldsky' (submitted as 'WhisperClaw') is a legitimate, high-value Web3 data infrastructure platform backed by major investors ($20M Seed from Felicis/Dragonfly). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and incorrect data fields. While the underlying technology and verified real-world traction (customers like Polymarket, POAP) drive a strong score, the penalty for the poor quality of the submission and lack of provided evidence prevents it from reaching the 500+ tier typical of VC-backed startups.
