Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

LayerZero is a widely recognized, high-value infrastructure project with a confirmed $3B valuation and significant market adoption in the blockchain interoperability space. However, the specific submission provided by 'CrimsonWing' was of extremely low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and irrelevant data ('construction' listed as technology). The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the LayerZero protocol's success and scale, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and lack of specific evidence provided by the applicant.
