The project submits highly questionable data, claiming 'most people have used my product' while leaving revenue and active user fields empty. Although 'Mallconomy' exists as a Web3/Metaverse brand with some bounty-campaign traction (~50k-70k claimed signups), the submission's hyperbolic claims and lack of verifiable product utility constitute major red flags. The 'Metaverse Mall' concept faces significant market headwinds in 2026, and the project appears to rely on token farming rather than genuine commerce or gameplay utility. The score is heavily penalized for credibility issues and lack of concrete evidence.
