# Continuous Functioning of OMM

The OMM functioning is designed around the requirement for continuous update and tracking of its state – available balance, net premium values, outstanding position and current market pricing as implied by [Oracle](https://switchboard.xyz/explorer).

#### **OMM process is continuously run by crankers**

The whole purpose of crankers is to generate fixed yield on its operations – an initiation of recalculations process. Crankers do not control the recalculation or its results and are agnostic to the state of the OMM or its positioning. This ensures continuous recalculation as the only way to maximize yield from cranking is to kick-off recalculation as many times as possible.
