Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mask Network is a well-established Web3 project with significant verifiable traction, including listings on major exchanges (Binance, Coinbase) and a market cap frequently exceeding $60M. However, the submission itself is of exceptionally low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and empty fields. While the project's real-world utility as a Web2-Web3 bridge is high and its technology is innovative, the lazy submission style significantly impacts the Response Quality and Audience Reach confidence scores. The evaluation relies heavily on external verification of the project's known status rather than the provided text.

Project Details

Project URL
Description
Mask Network is a portal that allows users to seamlessly send encrypted messages, cryptocurrencies, and even DApps (Defi, NFTs, DAO) over the top of social networks without migrating, and thereby creating a decentralized Applet(DApplet) ecosystem. In short, we want to bridge the New, Open Internet right on top of the current one.\n\nInstead of creating a new platform, Mask Network aims to bridge Web2 (the current web) and so-called Web3, to empower the general public to use the better web within the current mainstream platforms, without using any API or centralized server.
