+660
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Solv Finance is a verifiable, high-impact DeFi protocol with over $1B in TVL (SolvBTC) and significant innovation (ERC-3525 standard). The project fits the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier despite a low-quality submission. The user correctly identified the team size (23) and valuation ($200M), but provided hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and lazy descriptions. The high score reflects the objective reality of the project's success and utility, heavily penalized by Quality Factors due to the poor submission effort.
