Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Intmax (Ryodan Systems AG) is a verifiable, high-potential stateless zkRollup project with significant external traction (~$6M+ funding, Ethereum Foundation grants, Mainnet live ~June 2025). The project addresses a critical scalability bottleneck (state bloat) with top-tier technical innovation. However, the submission quality was abysmal ('most people have used my product', generic descriptions), necessitating a severe penalty in the Response Quality metric and a conservative Audience Reach score despite the technology's 'unicorn' potential. The score reflects the high value of the underlying protocol verified through external search, adjusted for the uncertainty introduced by the poor application data.
