Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Salsa Valley is a verifiable GameFi project with niche traction (approx. $40k revenue, 44k social followers, and a 'Startup of the Year' award in Miami). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. While the project has a tangible ecosystem (cartoons, board games, tokens), its real-world utility is limited to entertainment, and actual user activity appears significantly lower than implied. The score reflects a legitimate early-stage project severely penalized for exaggerated reach and poor data presentation.
