Only Dust is a legitimate, verified platform (onlydust.xyz) with approximately 21 employees and over $3M in seed funding, focused on incentivizing open-source contributions to the StarkNet ecosystem. While the project demonstrates significant real-world utility and verified traction (partnerships, funding, active contributors), the submission itself was of extremely low quality. The applicant provided hyperbolic/false claims ('most people have used my product'), vague descriptions ('construction'), and minimal effort. The score reflects the strong underlying fundamentals of the project, heavily penalized for the poor quality of the evidence and response provided.
