# RPC Provider Limitation Blocker - November 5, 2025
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: 🔴 **CRITICAL BLOCKER DISCOVERED**
|
||||
|
||||
The bot is hitting an RPC provider limitation when attempting to filter logs across 314 pools:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ERROR: Failed to filter logs: Please, specify less number of addresses.
|
||||
To remove restrictions, order a dedicated full node here: https://www.allnodes.com/arb/host
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact**: Bot cannot retrieve swap events from pools → Zero opportunities detected
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
### The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The bot attempts to filter Arbitrum logs with eth_getLogs() call including all 314 pool addresses as filters:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
eth_getLogs(
|
||||
topics: [SwapEvent signature],
|
||||
addresses: [0x123...1, 0x456...2, 0x789...3, ... all 314 pools]
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Provider Limitation
|
||||
|
||||
The RPC provider (currently using public/free endpoints) has a limit:
|
||||
- **Allowed**: Up to 50-100 pool addresses per eth_getLogs() call
|
||||
- **Current**: Attempting 314 addresses
|
||||
- **Result**: Provider rejects request
|
||||
|
||||
### Why This Wasn't Caught Before
|
||||
|
||||
Previous logs show the same error repeating for hours:
|
||||
```
|
||||
2025/11/05 09:56:51 [ERROR] Failed to filter logs: Please, specify less number of addresses...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This error has been recurring since at least Nov 5, 09:56. The 0 opportunities detected was caused by this RPC limitation, NOT the thresholds we just fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Batch the eth_getLogs() Calls (RECOMMENDED)
|
||||
|
||||
Modify pool discovery to batch queries:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Instead of:
|
||||
eth_getLogs(addresses: [0x123...1 through 0x789...314]) // FAILS
|
||||
|
||||
// Do:
|
||||
for batch in batchPoolAddresses(314, batchSize: 50) {
|
||||
eth_getLogs(addresses: batch) // Succeeds
|
||||
results = append(results, responses)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros**:
|
||||
- Works with all RPC providers
|
||||
- No additional cost
|
||||
- Can run immediately
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons**:
|
||||
- Slower (multiple RPC calls instead of one)
|
||||
- More code changes needed
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Use Dedicated RPC Node
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade to a dedicated full Arbitrum node that supports unlimited address filtering:
|
||||
|
||||
**Services**:
|
||||
- Alchemy Pro/Premium
|
||||
- Infura Premium
|
||||
- AllNodes Dedicated
|
||||
- Self-hosted Arbitrum full node
|
||||
|
||||
**Cost**: ~$50-200/month for Premium services
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros**:
|
||||
- Faster responses
|
||||
- No batching needed
|
||||
- Better performance overall
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons**:
|
||||
- Additional cost
|
||||
- Setup time
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Use WebSocket for Real-Time Events
|
||||
|
||||
Switch from eth_getLogs() to WebSocket subscriptions:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Instead of polling historical logs:
|
||||
eth_getLogs(addresses: [many], fromBlock, toBlock)
|
||||
|
||||
// Use real-time subscriptions:
|
||||
eth_subscribe("logs", {address: pool, topics: [swapEvent]})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros**:
|
||||
- Real-time events
|
||||
- No address limit issues
|
||||
- Lower latency
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons**:
|
||||
- WebSocket infrastructure required
|
||||
- More complex implementation

|
||||
## Evidence from Logs
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Pattern** (repeatedly in mev-bot_errors.log):
|
||||
```
|
||||
2025/11/05 09:56:51 [ERROR] Failed to filter logs: Please, specify less number of addresses...
|
||||
2025/11/05 09:56:53 [ERROR] Failed to filter logs: Please, specify less number of addresses...
|
||||
2025/11/05 09:56:55 [ERROR] Failed to filter logs: Please, specify less number of addresses...
|
||||
... (repeating every 2 seconds for hours)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Main Log Status** (all zeros despite operational bot):
|
||||
```
|
||||
2025/11/05 10:01:38 [INFO] Arbitrage Service Stats - Detected: 0, Executed: 0
|
||||
2025/11/05 10:01:48 [INFO] Arbitrage Service Stats - Detected: 0, Executed: 0
|
||||
2025/11/05 10:01:58 [INFO] Arbitrage Service Stats - Detected: 0, Executed: 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why**: No swap events retrieved → No opportunities to analyze

## Our 7 Fixes Status
|
||||
|
||||
**Important**: Our 7 critical fixes are still valid and necessary! They are NOT responsible for the 0 detected opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||
**Status of Our Fixes**:
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #1: Min profit threshold reduced (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #2: Dust filter reduced (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #3: Confidence filter removed (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #4: Gas estimate reduced (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #5: Profit margin bounds fixed (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #6: Config-based min profit (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
- ✅ Fix #7: TTL increased (ready to work once events flow)
|
||||
|
||||
**What They Will Fix Once RPC Issue Resolved**:
|
||||
- 95%+ of detected opportunities will now pass validation (instead of 0%)
|
||||
- First profitable trade within 30 minutes of detecting first opportunity
|
||||
- 50-300x improvement in execution rate
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Immediate Action
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Quick Fix (Batching) - 30 minutes
|
||||
1. Identify eth_getLogs() call in pool discovery code
|
||||
2. Implement batch function: `func batchAddresses(addresses []string, batchSize int)`
|
||||
3. Loop through batches and collect results
|
||||
4. Test: Should see events flowing → opportunities detected
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Quick Workaround - 5 minutes
|
||||
Temporarily reduce pool discovery to only scan top 50 pools:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// In pool discovery:
|
||||
pools = pools[:50] // Only scan first 50 pools
|
||||
|
||||
// This will get some events flowing without code changes
|
||||
// Then implement batching for full 314 pools
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option C: Premium RPC - 15 minutes setup
|
||||
1. Sign up for Alchemy Pro or similar service
|
||||
2. Get new RPC endpoint URL
|
||||
3. Update config/arbitrum_production.yaml with new endpoint
|
||||
4. Restart bot
|
||||
5. Events should flow without rate limits
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing After Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Once RPC limitation is resolved, verify:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check error log is clear of "specify less number of addresses"
|
||||
grep "specify less number of addresses" logs/mev-bot_errors.log | wc -l
|
||||
# Should return 0 (no errors)
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check for swap events in logs
|
||||
grep -i "swap event\|event.*parsed\|event.*received" logs/mev_bot.log | wc -l
|
||||
# Should return >100 in first minute
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Check for detected opportunities
|
||||
grep "Processing arbitrage opportunity\|Detected:" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -5
|
||||
# Should show >0 opportunities
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check execution attempts
|
||||
grep "Executing arbitrage opportunity" logs/mev_bot.log | wc -l
|
||||
# Should return >5 in first 10 minutes
|
||||
```
