Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents Pantera Capital, a top-tier blockchain venture firm with over $4B in AUM, indicating massive real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of critically low quality, featuring a likely pseudonym ('FrostStone'), a suspicious email format, and hallucinated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'space-technology'). While the underlying entity validates high theoretical scores, the lack of verifiable internal data and the presence of factual errors in the input trigger significant Quality Factor penalties (0.5x), reducing the score from a potential 700+ to the comparable range.
