# 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-app/urani-app.md)**:** 

➡ [**Urani Protocol**](/urani-protocol/urani-protocol-overview.md) 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**](/mev-agents/agents.md) 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**](/urani-swap/overview.md) 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**](/urani-arena/urani-arena-overview.md)[ ](/urani-arena/urani-arena-overview.md)is a *real-time* visual infrastructure for orderflow auction competition and peer-to-peer matches, designed to commoditize MEV agents and engage their fans.
