Despite a low-quality submission with vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'), external verification confirms OwnID is a highly significant project. Acquired by the Brazilian unicorn Unico (valued at $2.6B) in late 2025, OwnID processes over 3.5 million authentications monthly for major global clients like Nestlé, the NFL, and Michael Kors. The project addresses a critical cybersecurity problem (passwordless authentication/passkeys) with verified massive scale and utility. The score reflects the high verifiable traction and utility, penalized slightly only by the poor quality of the input submission.
