Pyth Network

+573
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project is a verified, high-value decentralized oracle network (Pyth Network) with a confirmed market cap of ~$1.5B and significant industry traction. The identity is verified via the submission email domain (@pyth.network). However, the submission quality is extremely poor (lazy descriptions, hyperbolic claims like 'everyone'), which necessitates heavy penalties on the Quality Factors. The final score reflects a 'Unicorn' tier project significantly discounted due to the lack of effort in the PoU submission.
