Industry Mainstay

Ocean Protocol is a verifiable, established Web3 infrastructure project with significant team size (125) and market history (2017 launch). However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic false claims ('most people have used my product') and vague technical details ('Software Development'). The score reflects the project's high intrinsic value and market relevance (AI/Data), heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the poor response quality.
