# MEV Bot Contract Funding Guide
|
||||
**Date:** October 29, 2025
|
||||
**Status:** Contracts Deployed, Wallet Setup Required
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Good News:** Your contracts use **flash loans**, which means **NO CAPITAL REQUIRED** for trading!
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Status Check
|
||||
|
||||
**Deployed Contracts:**
|
||||
- ✅ ArbitrageExecutor: `0x6C2B1c6Eb0e5aB73d8C60944c74A62bfE629c418` - Balance: **0 ETH** ✅
|
||||
- ✅ FlashSwapper: `0x7Cc97259cBe0D02Cd0b8A80c2E1f79C7265808b4` - Balance: **0 ETH** ✅
|
||||
- ✅ DataFetcher: `0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD` - Balance: **0 ETH** ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Why 0 ETH is CORRECT:**
|
||||
These contracts use flash loans (borrow → arbitrage → repay in single transaction), so they don't need pre-funded capital!
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 💰 What Actually Needs Funding?
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Contracts DON'T Need Funding
|
||||
Your contracts are **flash loan enabled**, which means:
|
||||
- ✅ Borrow funds from Balancer/Uniswap during execution
|
||||
- ✅ Execute arbitrage
|
||||
- ✅ Repay loan + profit
|
||||
- ✅ All in 1 atomic transaction
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** Zero capital required for trading!
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Executor Wallet DOES Need Gas
|
||||
|
||||
You need a **wallet with ~0.01-0.05 ETH** on Arbitrum for:
|
||||
- Gas to submit transactions (~$0.10-$0.50 per trade)
|
||||
- Contract interaction costs
|
||||
- Emergency operations
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Wallet Status:** ⚠️ **NOT CONFIGURED**
|
||||
- Keystore path: `keystore/production/`
|
||||
- Status: Empty (no wallet file found)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Two Options to Enable Execution
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Monitoring Only (Current Mode) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
- ✅ Detects arbitrage opportunities
|
||||
- ✅ Calculates profitability
|
||||
- ✅ Logs opportunities to console
|
||||
- ❌ Cannot execute trades (no wallet)
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- No funding required
|
||||
- No risk
|
||||
- Learn and test before going live
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** This is what you're running now!
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Live Execution Mode (Requires Wallet)
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
- ✅ Detects opportunities
|
||||
- ✅ Automatically executes profitable trades
|
||||
- ✅ Captures MEV profits
|
||||
- ✅ Uses flash loans (no capital needed)
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:**
|
||||
1. **Wallet with 0.01-0.05 ETH** on Arbitrum (for gas only)
|
||||
2. Wallet private key configured in keystore
|
||||
3. Execution mode enabled in config
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Cost Breakdown
|
||||
|
||||
### One-Time Setup Costs
|
||||
- ✅ Contract deployment: **DONE** (contracts already deployed)
|
||||
- ⏳ Wallet gas funding: **~$20-100 USD** (0.01-0.05 ETH on Arbitrum)
|
||||
|
||||
### Per-Trade Costs (Ongoing)
|
||||
- Gas per arbitrage: **~$0.10-0.50** (Arbitrum is cheap!)
|
||||
- Flash loan fees: **0.09%** of borrowed amount (Uniswap V3) or **0%** (Balancer)
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Trade Economics
|
||||
```
|
||||
Opportunity: WETH/USDC arbitrage
|
||||
- Flash loan: Borrow 10 ETH (~$20,000)
|
||||
- Execute arbitrage: Net profit $50
|
||||
- Gas cost: $0.30
|
||||
- Flash loan fee: $18 (0.09% of $20,000)
|
||||
- Net profit: $50 - $0.30 - $18 = $31.70 ✅
|
||||
|
||||
Your wallet only spends: $0.30 for gas
|
||||
Contract borrows and repays: $20,000
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
## 🔧 How to Set Up Wallet for Execution
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Get ETH on Arbitrum
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Bridge from Ethereum** (if you have ETH on mainnet)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Use official Arbitrum bridge
|
||||
open https://bridge.arbitrum.io/
|
||||
|
||||
# Bridge 0.02-0.05 ETH from Ethereum → Arbitrum
|
||||
# Takes 7-15 minutes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Buy directly on exchange**
|
||||
1. Buy ETH on Coinbase/Binance/Kraken
|
||||
2. Withdraw to **Arbitrum One network** (important!)
|
||||
3. Minimum: 0.01 ETH (~$20), Recommended: 0.05 ETH (~$100)
|
||||
|
||||
**Option C: Use existing Arbitrum wallet**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# If you already have ETH on Arbitrum, export private key
|
||||
# WARNING: Never share private keys!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Create or Import Wallet
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Create new wallet (recommended)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate new wallet (I can help with this)
|
||||
# Store private key securely
|
||||
# Fund with 0.01-0.05 ETH on Arbitrum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Import existing wallet**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# If you have existing Arbitrum wallet with funds
|
||||
# Export private key (keep it SECRET!)
|
||||
# Configure in keystore
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Configure Keystore
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a funded wallet:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# I can help configure the keystore with your wallet
|
||||
# Will encrypt private key with your MEV_BOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY
|
||||
# Stored securely in keystore/production/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Enable Execution Mode
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update config to enable execution
|
||||
# Bot will start executing profitable trades automatically
|
||||
# Restart bot with new configuration
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 Security Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Wallet Security
|
||||
1. ✅ **Use dedicated wallet** - Don't use your main wallet
|
||||
2. ✅ **Fund minimum amount** - Start with 0.01-0.02 ETH
|
||||
3. ✅ **Monitor regularly** - Check balance doesn't deplete
|
||||
4. ✅ **Backup private key** - Store encrypted backup
|
||||
5. ✅ **Never commit to git** - Keystore is in .gitignore
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Safety
|
||||
1. ✅ **Start small** - Test with min profitable threshold
|
||||
2. ✅ **Monitor first 24h** - Watch for issues
|
||||
3. ✅ **Set max gas price** - Prevent overspending on gas
|
||||
4. ✅ **Enable alerts** - Get notified of executions
|
||||
5. ✅ **Emergency stop** - Can pause execution anytime

## ❓ FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Do I need to fund the contracts?**
|
||||
A: **No!** Contracts use flash loans - zero capital required for trading.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What about the 0 ETH balance in contracts?**
|
||||
A: **This is correct!** Flash loans borrow funds during execution, no pre-funding needed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: How much ETH do I actually need?**
|
||||
A: **0.01-0.05 ETH** in executor wallet for gas only (~$20-100).
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Can I test without real money?**
|
||||
A: **Yes!** You're currently in monitoring-only mode (no execution).
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What if I run out of gas?**
|
||||
A: Bot will stop executing trades. Just add more ETH to wallet and restart.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Is this risky?**
|
||||
A: **Low risk** - Flash loans are atomic (succeed or revert), worst case is wasted gas (~$0.30).
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Can I withdraw profits?**
|
||||
A: **Yes!** Profits accumulate in executor wallet, withdraw anytime.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What if a trade fails?**
|
||||
A: Flash loan reverts entire transaction, no funds lost (only gas ~$0.30).
