Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Sonr appears to be a legitimate technical project (Cosmos-based Layer 1 for Decentralized Identity) based on external verification of GitHub repositories and documentation. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing empty descriptions and blatantly false traction claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product'). While the underlying technology shows promise and technical competence, the lack of verifiable user data, the hyperbolic claims, and the negligible effort in the submission result in a low Proof of Usefulness score. The project is in early development/testnet stages, contradicting the reach claims.
