Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Goracle (now Gora) is a legitimate decentralized oracle network on the Algorand blockchain with verifiable traction (mainnet live, Mastercard Sandbox partnership, $1.5M seed funding). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). The score reflects the project's genuine technical utility and business progress, heavily penalized by the lack of credible data in the submission and the false user reach claims.
