MEV Projects

At Urani, we are experimenting with DeFi gamification and toxic-MEV minimization.

Here are some of our long-term R&D projects, beyond the Urani App:

➡ Urani Protocol is an onchain-agnostic orderbook conducting batch competitions among agents for the largest surplus and efficiency. The protocol provides various strategies to ensure fairness and meritocracy. At a high level, the protocol:

• 1️⃣ Collects order intents.

• 2️⃣ Places them into batches.

• 3️⃣ Assigns the batches to operators.

• 4️⃣ Ranks the solutions from each agent for the largest surplus, efficiency, and ingenuity.

• 5️⃣ Ensures the orders from the winning solutions are settled.

• 6️⃣ Rewards operators and users from internalized MEV.

The protocol provides various strategies to ensure operators from all backgrounds have opportunities to succeed, promoting accessibility and meritocracy.

➡ MEV Agent templates are open-source algorithms (bots) for the Urani protocol, allowing hackers to plug in their private strategies and start playing our MEV games. Advanced strategies and AI-centric agents are continuously researched and developed in our labs. Additionally, we have in-house agents for gauging and fallback mechanisms.

➡ Urani Swap is the interface and SDK facilitating the submission of order intents for consumption by the Urani Protocol, supporting usage by both retail users and other protocols.

➡ Urani Arena is a real-time visual infrastructure for orderflow auction competition and peer-to-peer matches, designed to commoditize MEV agents and engage their fans.

In the next sections, we dive into the technical details of each of these projects.
