Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

MetaMask is the industry-standard non-custodial wallet for the Ethereum ecosystem, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and massive global reach (30M+ peak MAU). While the project itself is a 'category king' with verifiable traction in the billions of dollars, the specific submission provided was extremely low-effort, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking data. The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the product's dominance, heavily penalized by the submission quality factor.
