Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Stader Labs is a verified, high-traction liquid staking protocol in the DeFi sector with over $700M in Total Value Locked (TVL) and ~$6M annual revenue, placing it significantly above the calibration baseline in terms of financial scale and utility. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and confusing market cap with revenue. Independent verification confirms strong market fit, innovative multi-chain architecture (ETHx, MaticX, BNBx), and a user base of ~150,000 wallets. The score reflects the project's high actual utility and traction, penalized for the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission text.
