Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Stakin is a legitimate, high-value institutional staking provider managing over $1.5B in assets and recently acquired by 'The Tie'. However, the PoU score is significantly impacted by the low quality of the submission, which contains factually incorrect data (claiming a 2005 launch date for a 2020 company, and 'everyone' as the audience) and hyperbolic, unverifiable traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the project's actual utility and market position are strong, the submission failed to provide adequate evidence, resulting in minimum Quality Factors across several categories.
