Category Standard

The project 'Virtually Human' is confirmed as Virtually Human Studio (VHS), the creators of the hit blockchain game ZED RUN. While the submission data is poor (hyperbolic claims of reaching 'everyone', ambiguous revenue fields), external verification confirms this is a Tier-1 Web3 gaming studio backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and TCG with over $20M in funding and $400M+ in historical transaction volume. The score reflects the massive verifiable traction and technical innovation of the studio, heavily penalized by the low-quality submission and the current downturn in the Web3 gaming market.
