Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Lemma Finance is a legitimate DeFi protocol backed by top-tier investors (Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly), verified via external search despite a low-quality submission. The project offers basis trading and stablecoin solutions (USDL), showing technical competence and verifiable historical traction. However, the submission itself contained false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacked current usage data. The score reflects the project's 'Small but promising' technical reality (Tier 100-250), penalized heavily for poor response quality and lack of verifiable recent growth.
