Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Project is 'iZUMi Finance', a legitimate and well-funded ($30M+) DeFi protocol offering Liquidity-as-a-Service (LaaS) and DL-AMM technology. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. While the underlying technology and capital backing are significant (verified ~$5.3M TVL), the evaluation applies heavy penalties to confidence/quality factors due to the disconnect between the submission's negligence and the project's actual status.
