Gaining Momentum

Zeek is a legitimate Seed-stage SocialFi project (backed by Animoca Brands and OKX Ventures with ~$3M funding) aiming to solve Web3 reputation via on-chain bounties ('Wishes') and social scores ('Rizz'). However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing a broken URL ('zeek.oneen' instead of 'zeek.one') and a demonstrably false traction claim ('most people have used my product'). While the project's market timing and backing suggest potential, the score is significantly penalized by the lack of verifiable user data in the submission and the exaggeration of its current reach.
