You're In Business

Rangers Protocol is a verified blockchain infrastructure project backed by Tier-1 investors (Pantera Capital, HashKey) with a 2021 mainnet launch. However, the submission provided is of critically low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague technical descriptions. While the project has historical legitimacy and raised ~$4M+, current on-chain activity is low, and the submission fails to effectively demonstrate utility or reach. The score reflects the significant gap between the project's potential capital value and the poor quality of evidence and communication provided.
