Gaining Momentum

Razor Network is a verifiable decentralized oracle project launched around 2019/2020. However, current market data indicates it has reached 'zombie' status with a micro-cap valuation (~$185k) and negligible trading volume (~$250/day), suggesting minimal to no active usage or revenue. The submission itself is of very poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product and 'everyone' is the audience) and irrelevant tags ('space-technology'). While the technical implementation exists and solves a theoretical problem, the lack of adoption and the deceptive submission severely penalize the score.

Description
A truly decentralized oracle network. Razor network is the first oracle network, which is both fast AND secure. We will also be building apps to showcase the power of the oracle and to bootstrap user adoption.\nWe are solving the Oracle problem.\nOracle problem is a well-known problem in space and is one of the hardest to solve. The problem is that the smart contracts cannot access external data.\nSeven of the top 10 DeFi apps (according to defipulse) require an oracle. And due to the lack of a reliable decentralized oracle, they are relying on centralized oracles.\nRazor network will create the first truly decentralized, general-purpose oracle network, which is both fast and secure. The network is designed from the ground up to be robust and resistant to various game-theoretical vulnerabilities.
