Score: 6.7/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 5, Utility: 6)

Hashiverse is a decentralized social network built in Rust that uses cryptographic key pairs for identity and end-to-end encryption, aiming to provide a truly ownerless and algorithm-free alternative to platforms like X and Mastodon. Its interesting innovation lies in combining client-side identity, encrypted-at-rest storage, and proof-of-work spam prevention into a federated but censorship-resistant protocol.
