Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Juspay is a confirmed unicorn (Valuation ~$1.2B, Jan 2026) processing over $1 Trillion in annualized payment volume. While the project submission description was outdated (referencing a 15-member team), the provided metadata regarding team size (1325) and valuation matches verifiable real-world data. As a critical infrastructure provider for Indian digital payments, it scores exceptionally high on utility, traction, and reach. Recent open-source initiatives (Hyperswitch) boost innovation scores, though competitive friction with other payment aggregators presents a minor market challenge. The low response quality score reflects the copy-pasted/outdated description relative to the project's actual massive scale.
