# MEV Bot - Path to Profitability Roadmap
|
||||
**Date:** October 26, 2025
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ NOT PROFITABLE (0/5,058 opportunities profitable)
|
||||
**Target:** ✅ $350-$3,500/day profit in 4 weeks
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Current Situation
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Results (4h 50m)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Opportunities Analyzed: 5,058
|
||||
Profitable: 0 (0.00%)
|
||||
Average Net Profit: -$0.01 (gas costs)
|
||||
DEXs Monitored: 1 (UniswapV3 only)
|
||||
Arbitrage Type: 2-hop only
|
||||
Daily Profit: $0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Causes
|
||||
1. **ONLY monitoring UniswapV3** (missing 95% of market)
|
||||
2. **ONLY 2-hop arbitrage** (single swaps rarely profitable)
|
||||
3. **Gas costs too high** for small opportunities
|
||||
4. **No alternative strategies** (sandwiches, liquidations)
|
||||
