The project 'Salarium' permanently suspended operations in December 2023 amid allegations of financial mismanagement, frozen user funds, and a 'rug pull.' The submission contains verified false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and ignores the widely publicized shutdown. The URL points to a defunct service or pivot attempt with no live utility. Due to the confirmed shutdown and deceptive submission, the PoU is negligible.
