Revault is a legitimate, high-utility Bitcoin custody protocol developed by Wizardsardine, offering advanced security via vaults and covenants. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the technical innovation and real-world utility for institutions are verifiable and high, the submission's lack of seriousness and inaccurate data necessitate a low score based on the evaluation criteria.
