Certified Problem Solver

Topl is a verifiable, venture-backed (Series A, $19.5M funding) blockchain protocol focused on supply chain and impact monetization. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality (containing hyperbolic/false claims like 'most people have used my product' and missing data), external verification confirms significant partnerships (Mercury Fund, track-and-trace use cases) and technical legitimacy. The project demonstrates strong B2B utility and innovation, though mass audience reach is naturally lower than consumer products.
