Xsolla is a verified, large-scale financial technology company serving the global video game industry with estimated annual revenues between $100M and $500M. While the project submission itself was of extremely low quality (vague claims, lack of specific evidence, inaccurate team size), external verification confirms the entity is a critical infrastructure provider for major clients like Twitch, Valve, and Epic Games. The high score reflects the verifiable real-world utility and massive market traction of the company, despite the poor effort in the submission form.
