```
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check logs
sudo journalctl -u mev-bot -n 100 --no-pager
# Common causes:
# 1. Missing environment variables
# 2. Invalid RPC endpoint
# 3. Permission issues
```
**Solution:**
```bash
# Verify environment file
cat /etc/systemd/system/mev-bot.env
# Test RPC connection manually
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' \
$ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT
# Fix permissions
sudo chown -R mev-bot:mev-bot /opt/mev-bot
```
---
#### Issue: High error rate
**Symptoms:**
```
[ERROR] Failed to fetch pool state
[ERROR] RPC call failed
[ERROR] 429 Too Many Requests
```
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check error rate
./scripts/log-manager.sh analyze | grep "Error Rate"
# Check RPC provider status
curl -s $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT
```
**Solution:**
```bash

```
---
## Architecture Components
### 1. Flash Loan Provider Interface
All flash loan providers implement this common interface:
```go
type FlashLoanProvider interface {
// Execute flash loan with given opportunity
ExecuteFlashLoan(ctx context.Context, opp *ArbitrageOpportunity, config *ExecutionConfig) (*ExecutionResult, error)
// Get maximum borrowable amount for token
GetMaxLoanAmount(ctx context.Context, token common.Address) (*big.Int, error)
// Calculate flash loan fee
GetFee(ctx context.Context, amount *big.Int) (*big.Int, error)
// Check if provider supports token
SupportsToken(token common.Address) bool
// Get provider name
Name() string
// Get provider priority (lower = higher priority)
Priority() int
}
```
### 2. Flash Loan Orchestrator
Central coordinator that:
- Receives validated arbitrage opportunities
- Selects optimal flash loan provider
- Manages execution queue and priority
- Handles concurrent execution limits
- Tracks execution state and history
```go
type FlashLoanOrchestrator struct {
providers []FlashLoanProvider
executionQueue *PriorityQueue
executionLimiter *ConcurrencyLimiter
stateTracker *ExecutionStateTracker
metricsCollector *MetricsCollector
}
```
### 3. Transaction Builder
Constructs and signs transactions for flash loan execution:
```go
type TransactionBuilder struct {
client *ethclient.Client
keyManager *security.KeyManager
nonceManager *arbitrage.NonceManager
gasEstimator *arbitrum.L2GasEstimator
// Build transaction calldata
BuildCalldata(opp *ArbitrageOpportunity, provider FlashLoanProvider) ([]byte, error)
// Estimate gas for transaction
EstimateGas(tx *types.Transaction) (uint64, error)
// Sign transaction
SignTransaction(tx *types.Transaction) (*types.Transaction, error)
}
```
### 4. Transaction Dispatcher
Sends signed transactions to the network:
```go
type TransactionDispatcher struct {
client *ethclient.Client
logger *logger.Logger
// Dispatch modes
useFlashbots bool
flashbotsRelay string
usePrivateRPC bool
privateRPCURL string
// Dispatch transaction
Dispatch(ctx context.Context, tx *types.Transaction, mode DispatchMode) (common.Hash, error)
// Wait for confirmation
WaitForConfirmation(ctx context.Context, txHash common.Hash, confirmations uint64) (*types.Receipt, error)
}
```
### 5. Execution Monitor
Monitors transaction execution and parses results:
```go
type ExecutionMonitor struct {
client *ethclient.Client
eventParser *events.Parser
// Monitor execution
MonitorExecution(ctx context.Context, txHash common.Hash) (*ExecutionResult, error)
// Parse profit from receipt
ParseProfit(receipt *types.Receipt) (*big.Int, error)
// Handle reverts
ParseRevertReason(receipt *types.Receipt) string
}
```
---
## Execution Flow
### Step-by-Step Execution Process
#### Phase 1: Pre-Execution Validation (500ms max)
```
1. Opportunity Received
├─ Validate opportunity structure
├─ Check price impact thresholds
├─ Verify tokens are not blacklisted
└─ Calculate expected profit
2. Provider Selection
├─ Check token support across providers
├─ Calculate fees for each provider
├─ Select provider with lowest cost
└─ Verify provider has sufficient liquidity
3. Risk Assessment
├─ Check current gas prices
├─ Validate slippage limits
├─ Verify position size limits
└─ Check daily volume limits
4. Final Profitability Check
├─ Net Profit = Gross Profit - Gas Costs - Flash Loan Fees
├─ Reject if Net Profit < MinProfitThreshold
└─ Continue if profitable
```
#### Phase 2: Transaction Construction (200ms max)
```
1. Build Flash Loan Calldata
├─ Encode arbitrage path
├─ Calculate minimum output amounts
├─ Set recipient address
└─ Add safety parameters
2. Estimate Gas
├─ Call estimateGas on RPC
├─ Apply safety multiplier (1.2x)
├─ Calculate gas cost in ETH
└─ Re-validate profitability with gas cost
3. Get Nonce
├─ Query pending nonce from network
├─ Check nonce manager for next available
├─ Handle nonce collisions
└─ Reserve nonce for this transaction
4. Build Transaction Object
├─ Set to: Flash Loan Provider address
├─ Set data: Encoded calldata
├─ Set gas: Estimated gas limit
├─ Set gasPrice: Current gas price + priority fee
├─ Set nonce: Reserved nonce
└─ Set value: 0 (flash loans don't require upfront payment)
5. Sign Transaction
├─ Load private key from KeyManager
├─ Sign with EIP-155 (ChainID: 42161 for Arbitrum)
├─ Verify signature
└─ Serialize to RLP
```
#### Phase 3: Transaction Dispatch (1-2s max)
```
1. Choose Dispatch Method
├─ If MEV Protection Enabled → Use Flashbots/Private RPC
├─ If High Competition → Use Private RPC
└─ Default → Public Mempool
2. Send Transaction
├─ Dispatch via chosen method
├─ Receive transaction hash
├─ Log submission
└─ Start monitoring
3. Handle Errors
├─ If "nonce too low" → Get new nonce and retry
├─ If "gas too low" → Increase gas and retry
├─ If "insufficient funds" → Abort (critical error)
├─ If "already known" → Wait for existing tx
└─ If network error → Retry with exponential backoff
```
#### Phase 4: Execution Monitoring (5-30s)
```
1. Wait for Inclusion
├─ Poll for transaction receipt
├─ Timeout after 30 seconds
├─ Check if transaction replaced
└─ Handle dropped transactions
2. Verify Execution
├─ Check receipt status (1 = success, 0 = revert)
├─ If reverted → Parse revert reason
├─ If succeeded → Continue
└─ If dropped → Handle re-submission
3. Parse Events
├─ Extract ArbitrageExecuted event
├─ Parse actual profit
├─ Parse gas used
└─ Calculate ROI
4. Update State
├─ Mark nonce as confirmed
├─ Update profit tracking
├─ Log execution result
└─ Emit metrics
```

## Provider Implementations
### 1. Aave Flash Loan Provider
**Advantages:**
- Large liquidity pools
- Supports many tokens
- Fixed fee (0.09%)
- Very reliable
**Implementation:**
```go
func (a *AaveFlashLoanProvider) ExecuteFlashLoan(
ctx context.Context,
opp *ArbitrageOpportunity,
config *ExecutionConfig,
) (*ExecutionResult, error) {
// 1. Build flash loan parameters
assets := []common.Address{opp.TokenIn}
amounts := []*big.Int{opp.AmountIn}
modes := []*big.Int{big.NewInt(0)} // 0 = no debt, must repay in same transaction
// 2. Encode arbitrage path as userData
userData := encodeArbitragePath(opp)
// 3. Build flashLoan() calldata
aaveABI := getAavePoolABI()
calldata, err := aaveABI.Pack(
"flashLoan",
a.receiverContract, // Receiver contract
assets, // Assets to borrow
amounts, // Amounts to borrow
modes, // Interest rate modes (0 for none)
a.onBehalfOf, // On behalf of address
userData, // Encoded arbitrage data
uint16(0), // Referral code
)
// 4. Build and sign transaction
tx := buildTransaction(a.poolAddress, calldata, config)
signedTx, err := signTransaction(tx, keyManager)
// 5. Dispatch transaction
txHash, err := dispatcher.Dispatch(ctx, signedTx, DispatchModeMEV)
// 6. Monitor execution
receipt, err := monitor.WaitForConfirmation(ctx, txHash, 1)
// 7. Parse result
result := parseExecutionResult(receipt, opp)
return result, nil
}
```
### 2. Balancer Flash Loan Provider
**Advantages:**
- Zero fees (!)
- Large liquidity
- Multi-token flash loans supported
**Implementation:**
```go
func (b *BalancerFlashLoanProvider) ExecuteFlashLoan(
ctx context.Context,
opp *ArbitrageOpportunity,
config *ExecutionConfig,
) (*ExecutionResult, error) {
// 1. Build flash loan parameters
tokens := []common.Address{opp.TokenIn}
amounts := []*big.Int{opp.AmountIn}
// 2. Encode arbitrage path
userData := encodeArbitragePath(opp)
// 3. Build flashLoan() calldata for Balancer Vault
vaultABI := getBalancerVaultABI()
calldata, err := vaultABI.Pack(
"flashLoan",
b.receiverContract, // IFlashLoanReceiver
tokens, // Tokens to borrow
amounts, // Amounts to borrow
userData, // Encoded arbitrage path
)
// 4-7. Same as Aave (build, sign, dispatch, monitor)
// ...
}
```
### 3. Uniswap Flash Swap Provider
**Advantages:**
- Available on all token pairs
- No separate flash loan contract needed
- Fee is same as swap fee (0.3%)
**Implementation:**
```go
func (u *UniswapFlashSwapProvider) ExecuteFlashLoan(
ctx context.Context,
opp *ArbitrageOpportunity,
config *ExecutionConfig,
) (*ExecutionResult, error) {
// 1. Find optimal pool for flash swap
pool := findBestPoolForFlashSwap(opp.TokenIn, opp.AmountIn)
// 2. Determine amount0Out and amount1Out
amount0Out, amount1Out := calculateSwapAmounts(pool, opp)
// 3. Encode arbitrage path
userData := encodeArbitragePath(opp)
// 4. Build swap() calldata for Uniswap V2 pair
pairABI := getUniswapV2PairABI()
calldata, err := pairABI.Pack(
"swap",
amount0Out, // Amount of token0 to receive
amount1Out, // Amount of token1 to receive
u.receiverContract, // Recipient (our contract)
userData, // Triggers callback
)
// 5-8. Same as others
// ...
}
```

## Safety & Risk Management
### Pre-Execution Checks
```go
type SafetyValidator struct {
priceImpactValidator *validation.PriceImpactValidator
blacklistChecker *security.BlacklistChecker
positionLimiter *risk.PositionLimiter
}
func (sv *SafetyValidator) ValidateExecution(opp *ArbitrageOpportunity) error {
// 1. Price Impact
if result := sv.priceImpactValidator.ValidatePriceImpact(opp.PriceImpact); !result.IsAcceptable {
return fmt.Errorf("price impact too high: %s", result.Recommendation)
}
// 2. Blacklist Check
if sv.blacklistChecker.IsBlacklisted(opp.TokenIn) || sv.blacklistChecker.IsBlacklisted(opp.TokenOut) {
return fmt.Errorf("token is blacklisted")
}
// 3. Position Size
if opp.AmountIn.Cmp(sv.positionLimiter.MaxPositionSize) > 0 {
return fmt.Errorf("position size exceeds limit")
}
// 4. Slippage Protection
if opp.Slippage > sv.maxSlippage {
return fmt.Errorf("slippage %f%% exceeds max %f%%", opp.Slippage, sv.maxSlippage)
}
return nil
}
```
### Circuit Breakers
```go
type CircuitBreaker struct {
consecutiveFailures int
maxFailures int
resetTimeout time.Duration
lastFailure time.Time
state CircuitState
}
func (cb *CircuitBreaker) ShouldExecute() bool {
if cb.state == CircuitStateOpen {
// Check if we should try half-open
if time.Since(cb.lastFailure) > cb.resetTimeout {
cb.state = CircuitStateHalfOpen
return true
}
return false
}
return true
}
func (cb *CircuitBreaker) RecordSuccess() {
cb.consecutiveFailures = 0
cb.state = CircuitStateClosed
}
func (cb *CircuitBreaker) RecordFailure() {
cb.consecutiveFailures++
cb.lastFailure = time.Now()
if cb.consecutiveFailures >= cb.maxFailures {
cb.state = CircuitStateOpen
// Trigger alerts
}
}
```

## Transaction Signing & Dispatch
### Transaction Signing Flow
```go
func SignFlashLoanTransaction(
opp *ArbitrageOpportunity,
provider FlashLoanProvider,
keyManager *security.KeyManager,
nonceManager *NonceManager,
gasEstimator *GasEstimator,
) (*types.Transaction, error) {
// 1. Build calldata
calldata, err := provider.BuildCalldata(opp)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to build calldata: %w", err)
}
// 2. Estimate gas
gasLimit, err := gasEstimator.EstimateGas(provider.Address(), calldata)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to estimate gas: %w", err)
}
// 3. Get gas price
gasPrice, priorityFee, err := gasEstimator.GetGasPrice(context.Background())
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get gas price: %w", err)
}
// 4. Get nonce
nonce, err := nonceManager.GetNextNonce(context.Background())
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get nonce: %w", err)
}
// 5. Build transaction
tx := types.NewTx(&types.DynamicFeeTx{
ChainID: big.NewInt(42161), // Arbitrum
Nonce: nonce,
GasTipCap: priorityFee,
GasFeeCap: gasPrice,
Gas: gasLimit,
To: &provider.Address(),
Value: big.NewInt(0),
Data: calldata,
})
// 6. Sign transaction
privateKey, err := keyManager.GetPrivateKey()
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get private key: %w", err)
}
signer := types.LatestSignerForChainID(big.NewInt(42161))
signedTx, err := types.SignTx(tx, signer, privateKey)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to sign transaction: %w", err)
}
return signedTx, nil
}
```
### Dispatch Strategies
**1. Public Mempool (Default)**
```go
func (d *TransactionDispatcher) DispatchPublic(ctx context.Context, tx *types.Transaction) (common.Hash, error) {
err := d.client.SendTransaction(ctx, tx)
if err != nil {
return common.Hash{}, err
}
return tx.Hash(), nil
}
```
**2. Flashbots Relay (MEV Protection)**
```go
func (d *TransactionDispatcher) DispatchFlashbots(ctx context.Context, tx *types.Transaction) (common.Hash, error) {
bundle := types.MevBundle{
Txs: types.Transactions{tx},
BlockNumber: currentBlock + 1,
}
bundleHash, err := d.flashbotsClient.SendBundle(ctx, bundle)
if err != nil {
return common.Hash{}, err
}
return bundleHash, nil
}
```
**3. Private RPC (Low Latency)**
```go
func (d *TransactionDispatcher) DispatchPrivate(ctx context.Context, tx *types.Transaction) (common.Hash, error) {
err := d.privateClient.SendTransaction(ctx, tx)
if err != nil {
return common.Hash{}, err
}
return tx.Hash(), nil
}
```

## Error Handling & Recovery
### Common Errors and Responses
| Error | Cause | Response |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `nonce too low` | Transaction already mined | Get new nonce, retry |
| `nonce too high` | Nonce gap exists | Reset nonce manager, retry |
| `insufficient funds` | Not enough ETH for gas | Abort, alert operator |
| `gas price too low` | Network congestion | Increase gas price, retry |
| `execution reverted` | Smart contract revert | Parse reason, log, abort |
| `transaction underpriced` | Gas price below network minimum | Get current gas price, retry |
| `already known` | Duplicate transaction | Wait for confirmation |
| `replacement transaction underpriced` | Replacement needs higher gas | Increase gas by 10%, retry |
### Retry Strategy
```go
func (executor *FlashLoanExecutor) executeWithRetry(
ctx context.Context,
opp *ArbitrageOpportunity,
) (*ExecutionResult, error) {
var lastErr error
for attempt := 0; attempt < executor.config.RetryAttempts; attempt++ {
result, err := executor.attemptExecution(ctx, opp)
if err == nil {
return result, nil
}
lastErr = err
// Check if error is retryable
if !isRetryable(err) {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("non-retryable error: %w", err)
}
// Handle specific errors
if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "nonce too low") {
executor.nonceManager.Reset()
} else if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "gas price too low") {
executor.increaseGasPrice()
}
// Exponential backoff
backoff := time.Duration(stdmath.Pow(2, float64(attempt))) * executor.config.RetryDelay
time.Sleep(backoff)
}
return nil, fmt.Errorf("max retries exceeded: %w", lastErr)
}
```

## Monitoring & Analytics
### Metrics to Track
1. **Execution Metrics**
- Total executions (successful / failed / reverted)
- Average execution time
- Gas used per execution
- Nonce collision rate

- Total profit (gross / net)
- Average profit per execution
- Profit by provider
- ROI by token pair
3. **Performance Metrics**
- Latency from opportunity detection to execution

- Revert rate by reason
4. **Risk Metrics**
- Largest position size executed
- Highest price impact accepted
- Slippage encountered

2. **Use hardware security modules (HSM) in production**
3. **Implement key rotation**
4. **Encrypt keys at rest**
5. **Limit key access to execution process only**
### Smart Contract Security
1. **Audit all receiver contracts before deployment**
2. **Use access control (Ownable)**
3. **Implement reentrancy guards**
4. **Set maximum borrow limits**
5. **Add emergency pause functionality**
### Transaction Security
1. **Validate all inputs before signing**
2. **Use EIP-155 replay protection**
3. **Verify transaction before dispatch**
4. **Monitor for front-running**
5. **Use private mempools when needed**
