Performance Scoring System

Monthly YMTA rewards are distributed proportionally based on your performance score across four weighted factors:

1. Maker Volume (40%) - Total volume provided through maker orders, rewarding liquidity contribution

2. Spread Tightness (25%) - Average bid-ask spread maintenance, incentivizing competitive pricing

3. Order Book Depth (20%) - Liquidity provided at various price levels, supporting market stability

4. Uptime (15%) - Percentage of time with active orders, encouraging consistent market presence

Calculation: Your monthly reward share = (Your performance score ÷ Total all MM scores) × Monthly reward pool
