Efficiency and Stability Monitoring

Reputation is crucial for node operators, as it is the key factor by which they are assessed. Both computation customers and third-party delegators depend on a node's reputation for reliable and secure performance as computation customers need trustworthy nodes for accurate computation, while delegators seek reliable nodes in order to avoid slashing penalties.

Off-chain reputation is evaluated by factors like team credibility and infrastructure, while on-chain reputation focuses on a node's history of slashing, including penalties for downtime or dishonest computation. For newer nodes, the length of time they've been active in the network is considered when evaluating slashing records.
