Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Web3 Labs is a verified, high-utility entity in the blockchain infrastructure space, known for the widely used Web3j library (1M+ downloads) and enterprise partnerships (Microsoft, JP Morgan). However, the submission itself is of low quality, with hyperbolic and lazy entries for reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying reality of the project's utility and technical innovation, significantly penalized by the lack of verifiable detail in the specific form fields provided.
