# How can I increase my teaRank? There are several ways to increase your project’s teaRank but in general, it comes down to two factors: age of the project (from creation, not registration with the ***tea*** Protocol) and, most importantly, number of dependents. Age of the project allows the algorithm to focus on a project’s impact over time making it more difficult to control; however, a project can increase their teaRank by increasing the number of projects that depend on it. Additionally, a project can substantially increase their teaRank by having a project with a high teaRank become a dependent. Continue focusing on making software that is impactful to all open-source!
