Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

True I/O is a legitimate, venture-backed technology company (Series A, $9M raised) focusing on blockchain-based identity (UCID) and asset tokenization. While the external verification confirms significant backing, partnerships (e.g., TIA), and a team size consistent with a funded startup (~50-100+), the submission itself contained critical inaccuracies. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false, and the '50000 marketcap' figure contradicts the company's venture valuation. The project scores highly on technical potential and market timing (RWA/IoT), but the submission quality was extremely low.
