The Urani protocol is designed to delegate the price-finding routing optimization problem to **MEV agent operators** as securely and efficiently as possible.

In this setup, batches are auctioned off through a [**competition**](https://docs.urani.trade/urani-arena/technical-considerations/the-pvp-competition) among agents to find the largest surplus for each order. Everyone in the batch also receives the same price — eliminating sandwiches or other types of MEV.

{% hint style="info" %}
In the protocol's v1 (alpha) version, orderflow auctions leverage a trusted party to operate (the protocol packing the batches directly).

Participation by MEV agent operators is aimed to be permissionless in future iterations of the protocol.
