Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

HashKey Group is a verified unicorn ($1.2B+ valuation) and a leading licensed digital asset financial services group in Asia, holding SFC licenses in Hong Kong. While the project itself has immense real-world utility, significant traction ($60M+ est. revenue, 200k+ users), and strong technical infrastructure (HashKey Chain, Exchange), the submission quality was extremely poor. The submitter provided erroneous data (Team Size: 0, Traction: 'most people'), necessitating a heavy penalty via the Quality Factor (0.5x). The final score reflects a high-value project heavily discounted due to a lack of verifiable details in the submission itself.
