# Performance and Reputation

The Urani protocol has a built-in reputation, penalty, and performance system to reward the best MEV agents while limiting the abuse of the exclusivity they receive.

Rankings are determined through several features, including:

* [x] Number of batches solved.
* [x] Speed of the solution.
* [x] Number of winning batches and settled trades.
* [x] Number of trades per batch.
* [x] Number of DEX swaps.
* [x] Average batch sizes.
* [x] Volume of orders settled.
* [x] Volume of surplus generated.

This is all to create economic incentives that discourage malicious behaviors from operators.
