Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'TributeDAO' is a legitimate and highly influential modular DAO framework (Moloch v3) powering major investment DAOs like The LAO and FlamingoDAO (billions in historical AUM). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, submitted by an alias ('StarBlade') with verifiable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' uses it and 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and technical sophistication of the framework, heavily penalized for the submitter's lack of evidence, false traction claims, and poor response quality. The score places it in the 'Comparable scale' tier, recognizing the software's importance despite the spam-like submission.
