Reputation
In a decentralized network without central authority, reputation provides the trust layer. NeoEngine uses an on-chain reputation system to help renters find reliable providers.
Reputation Score
Every provider has a reputation score from 0-1000, calculated from:
| Factor | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Job Success Rate | 40% | Percentage of jobs completed successfully |
| Uptime | 25% | Historical availability |
| Response Time | 15% | Speed of job acceptance and completion |
| Stake Duration | 10% | How long tokens have been staked |
| Dispute History | 10% | Track record in disputes |
Tier Requirements
| Tier | Min Score | Min Jobs | Min Stake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 0 (Nomad) | 0 | 0 | 100 NGNX |
| Tier 1 (Mercenary) | 200 | 10 | 1,000 NGNX |
| Tier 2 (Node Runner) | 500 | 100 | 10,000 NGNX |
| Tier 3 (Architect) | 800 | 500 | 50,000 NGNX |
Reputation is earned over time and cannot be purchased. New providers start at Tier 0 regardless of stake.
Building Reputation
Best Practices
- Maintain High Uptime — Keep your node online 24/7 if possible
- Accept Appropriate Jobs — Only accept jobs you can complete
- Respond Quickly — Fast acceptance improves your score
- Deliver Quality — Avoid errors and timeouts
- Stake Long-Term — Longer stake duration improves score
Recovery from Bad Reputation
If your score drops:
- Complete more jobs successfully
- Maintain perfect uptime for 30+ days
- Avoid disputes (or win them)
- Consider unstaking and restarting (reputation is tied to wallet)
Reputation Decay
Inactive providers experience reputation decay:
| Inactivity Period | Decay Rate |
|---|---|
| 1-7 days | None |
| 8-30 days | -1 point/day |
| 31-90 days | -2 points/day |
| 90+ days | Reset to tier minimum |

When results are disputed:
- Renter files dispute with evidence
- Result is re-executed on 3 neutral providers
- Majority vote determines outcome
- Losing party’s stake is slashed
- Reputation adjusted accordingly
Filing false disputes damages your own reputation. Only dispute when you have clear evidence.
