# Node Reputation Index

The Node Reputation Index is a scoring system that evaluates the quality of nodes in the Anglium network. It determines how reliable and valuable each node is, influencing its rewards, traffic routing priority, and eligibility for special programs.

**Key metrics:**

* **Uptime:** overall node stability over time.
* **Bandwidth:** data transfer speed and capacity.
* **Geo uniqueness:** value of IP addresses from specific regions.
* **IP stability:** consistency without frequent changes or bans.
* **Traffic quality:** absence of errors, spam, or invalid sessions.

**Reputation levels:**

* **Starter** — a newly joined node.
* **Trusted** — a stable node with consistent uptime.
* **Premium** — a high-speed node with strong metrics.
* **Elite** — top-tier status, maximum rewards, and traffic priority.

**Impact on the network:**

* High-reputation nodes get **priority in traffic distribution**.
* Higher reputation leads to better reward multipliers.
* DAO may grant additional bonuses to high-scoring nodes to maintain network reliability.

**Advantages of the system:**

* Motivates nodes to maintain high performance.
* Ensures fair reward distribution.
* Increases overall network stability and security.
