Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Lisk is an established blockchain platform with significant historical market capitalization (~$45M cited) and verifiable technical infrastructure (JavaScript SDK). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone'). While the underlying asset and technology justify a valuation comparable to established entities, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the application and the declining market relevance of the specific tech stack relative to modern Layer 2 solutions.
