Reserve is a well-established DeFi protocol with significant market capitalization (~$100M) and Total Value Locked (~$125M), offering innovative decentralized stablecoin and index solutions. However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, featuring verifiable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' for traction). While the project's real-world utility and technical sophistication are high, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission itself, which failed to accurately represent the project's actual success.
