# Alternative MEV Strategies - Implementation Guide
**Date:** October 26, 2025
**Purpose:** Expand beyond atomic arbitrage to profitable MEV extraction
---
## 🎯 Overview
Based on profitability analysis, atomic arbitrage alone is insufficient. This guide covers three high-profit MEV strategies:
1. **Sandwich Attacks** - Front-run + back-run large swaps
2. **Liquidations** - Liquidate under-collateralized lending positions
3. **JIT Liquidity** - Just-in-time liquidity provision
---
## 🥪 Strategy 1: Sandwich Attacks
### What is a Sandwich Attack?
```
User submits: Swap 100 ETH → USDC (0.5% slippage tolerance)
MEV Bot sees this in mempool:
1. Front-run: Buy USDC (pushes price up)
2. User's swap executes (at worse price due to #1)
3. Back-run: Sell USDC (profit from price impact)
Profit: Price impact captured = User's slippage
```
### Profitability
```
Target: Swaps > $10,000 with slippage > 0.3%
Profit per sandwich: $5-$50 (0.5-1% of swap size)
Frequency: 5-20 per day on Arbitrum
Daily profit: $25-$1,000
```
### Implementation Steps
#### 1. Mempool Monitoring
```go
// pkg/mev/sandwich/mempool.go
package sandwich
type MempoolMonitor struct {
client *ethclient.Client
logger *logger.Logger
targetChan chan *PendingSwap
}
type PendingSwap struct {
TxHash common.Hash
From common.Address
To common.Address
TokenIn common.Address
TokenOut common.Address
AmountIn *big.Int
AmountOutMin *big.Int // Minimum acceptable output
Slippage float64 // Calculated from AmountOutMin
GasPrice *big.Int
DetectedAt time.Time
}
func (mm *MempoolMonitor) MonitorMempool(ctx context.Context) {
pendingTxs := make(chan *types.Transaction, 1000)
// Subscribe to pending transactions
sub, err := mm.client.SubscribePendingTransactions(ctx, pendingTxs)
if err != nil {
mm.logger.Error("Failed to subscribe to mempool:", err)
return
}
defer sub.Unsubscribe()
for {
select {
case tx := <-pendingTxs:
// Parse transaction
swap := mm.parseSwapTransaction(tx)
if swap != nil && mm.isSandwichable(swap) {
mm.targetChan <- swap
}
case <-ctx.Done():
return
}
}
}
func (mm *MempoolMonitor) isSandwichable(swap *PendingSwap) bool {
// Criteria for profitable sandwich:
// 1. Large swap (> $10,000)
// 2. High slippage tolerance (> 0.3%)
// 3. Not already sandwiched
minSwapSize := big.NewInt(10000e6) // $10k in USDC units
minSlippage := 0.003 // 0.3%
return swap.AmountIn.Cmp(minSwapSize) > 0 &&
swap.Slippage > minSlippage
}
```
#### 2. Sandwich Calculation
```go
// pkg/mev/sandwich/calculator.go
type SandwichOpportunity struct {
TargetTx *PendingSwap
FrontRunAmount *big.Int
BackRunAmount *big.Int
EstimatedProfit *big.Int
GasCost *big.Int
NetProfit *big.Int
ROI float64
}
func CalculateSandwich(target *PendingSwap, pool *PoolState) (*SandwichOpportunity, error) {
// 1. Calculate optimal front-run size
// Too small = low profit
// Too large = user tx fails (detection risk)
// Optimal = ~50% of user's trade size
frontRunAmount := new(big.Int).Div(target.AmountIn, big.NewInt(2))
// 2. Calculate price after front-run
priceAfterFrontRun := calculatePriceImpact(pool, frontRunAmount)
// 3. Calculate user's execution price (worse than expected)
userOutputAmount := calculateOutput(pool, target.AmountIn, priceAfterFrontRun)
// 4. Calculate back-run profit
// Sell what we bought in front-run at higher price
backRunProfit := calculateOutput(pool, frontRunAmount, userOutputAmount)
// 5. Subtract costs
gasCost := big.NewInt(300000 * 100000000) // 300k gas @ 0.1 gwei
netProfit := new(big.Int).Sub(backRunProfit, frontRunAmount)
netProfit.Sub(netProfit, gasCost)
return &SandwichOpportunity{
TargetTx: target,
FrontRunAmount: frontRunAmount,
BackRunAmount: backRunProfit,
EstimatedProfit: backRunProfit,
GasCost: gasCost,
NetProfit: netProfit,
ROI: calculateROI(netProfit, frontRunAmount),
}, nil
}
```
#### 3. Execution (Bundle)
```go
// pkg/mev/sandwich/executor.go
func (se *SandwichExecutor) ExecuteSandwich(
ctx context.Context,
sandwich *SandwichOpportunity,
) (*ExecutionResult, error) {
// Create bundle: [front-run, target tx, back-run]
bundle := []common.Hash{
se.createFrontRunTx(sandwich),
sandwich.TargetTx.TxHash, // Original user tx
se.createBackRunTx(sandwich),
}
// Submit to Flashbots/MEV-Boost
bundleHash, err := se.flashbots.SendBundle(ctx, bundle)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to send bundle: %w", err)
}
// Wait for inclusion
result, err := se.waitForBundle(ctx, bundleHash)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return result, nil
}
```
### Risk Mitigation
**1. Detection Risk**
- Use Flashbots/MEV-Boost (private mempool)
- Randomize gas prices
- Bundle transactions atomically
**2. Failed Sandwich Risk**
- User tx reverts → Our txs revert too
- Mitigation: Require target tx to have high gas limit
**3. Competitive Sandwiching**
- Other bots target same swap
- Mitigation: Optimize gas price, faster execution
### Expected Outcomes
```
Conservative Estimate:
- 5 sandwiches/day @ $10 avg profit = $50/day
- Monthly: $1,500
Realistic Estimate:
- 10 sandwiches/day @ $20 avg profit = $200/day
- Monthly: $6,000
Optimistic Estimate:
- 20 sandwiches/day @ $50 avg profit = $1,000/day
- Monthly: $30,000
```

## 💰 Strategy 2: Liquidations
### What are Liquidations?
```
Lending Protocol (Aave, Compound):
- User deposits $100 ETH as collateral
- User borrows $60 USDC (60% LTV)
- ETH price drops 20%
- Collateral now worth $80
- Position under-collateralized (75% LTV > 70% threshold)
Liquidator:
- Repays user's $60 USDC debt
- Receives $66 worth of ETH (10% liquidation bonus)
- Profit: $6 (10% of debt)
```
### Profitability
```
Target: Under-collateralized positions on Aave, Compound
Profit per liquidation: 5-15% of debt repaid
Typical liquidation: $1,000-$50,000 debt
Profit per liquidation: $50-$5,000
Frequency: 1-5 per day (volatile markets)
Daily profit: $50-$500 (conservative)
```
### Implementation Steps
#### 1. Position Monitoring
```go
// pkg/mev/liquidation/monitor.go
type Position struct {
User common.Address
CollateralToken common.Address
CollateralAmount *big.Int
DebtToken common.Address
DebtAmount *big.Int
HealthFactor float64 // > 1 = healthy, < 1 = liquidatable
Protocol string // "aave", "compound"
LastUpdated time.Time
}
type LiquidationMonitor struct {
aavePool *aave.Pool
compTroller *compound.Comptroller
priceOracle *oracle.ChainlinkOracle
logger *logger.Logger
}
func (lm *LiquidationMonitor) MonitorPositions(ctx context.Context) {
ticker := time.NewTicker(5 * time.Second)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
// 1. Fetch all open positions from Aave
aavePositions := lm.getAavePositions()
// 2. Fetch all open positions from Compound
compoundPositions := lm.getCompoundPositions()
// 3. Calculate health factors
for _, pos := range append(aavePositions, compoundPositions...) {
healthFactor := lm.calculateHealthFactor(pos)
// Under-collateralized?
if healthFactor < 1.0 {
lm.logger.Info(fmt.Sprintf("🎯 Liquidation opportunity: %s", pos.User.Hex()))
lm.executeLiquidation(ctx, pos)
}
}
case <-ctx.Done():
return
}
}
}
func (lm *LiquidationMonitor) calculateHealthFactor(pos *Position) float64 {
// Get current prices
collateralPrice := lm.priceOracle.GetPrice(pos.CollateralToken)
debtPrice := lm.priceOracle.GetPrice(pos.DebtToken)
// Calculate values in USD
collateralValue := new(big.Float).Mul(
new(big.Float).SetInt(pos.CollateralAmount),
collateralPrice,
)
debtValue := new(big.Float).Mul(
new(big.Float).SetInt(pos.DebtAmount),
debtPrice,
)
// Health Factor = (Collateral * LiquidationThreshold) / Debt
liquidationThreshold := 0.70 // 70% for most assets on Aave
collateralValueFloat, _ := collateralValue.Float64()
debtValueFloat, _ := debtValue.Float64()
return (collateralValueFloat * liquidationThreshold) / debtValueFloat
}
```
#### 2. Liquidation Execution
```go
// pkg/mev/liquidation/executor.go
type LiquidationExecutor struct {
aavePool *aave.Pool
flashLoan *flashloan.Provider
logger *logger.Logger
}
func (le *LiquidationExecutor) ExecuteLiquidation(
ctx context.Context,
position *Position,
) (*ExecutionResult, error) {
// Strategy: Use flash loan to repay debt
// 1. Flash loan debt amount
// 2. Liquidate position (repay debt, receive collateral + bonus)
// 3. Swap collateral to debt token
// 4. Repay flash loan
// 5. Keep profit
// Calculate max liquidation amount (typically 50% of debt)
maxLiquidation := new(big.Int).Div(position.DebtAmount, big.NewInt(2))
// Execute flash loan for liquidation
userData := le.encodeLiquidationData(position, maxLiquidation)
result, err := le.flashLoan.ExecuteFlashLoan(
ctx,
position.DebtToken,
maxLiquidation,
userData,
)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("liquidation failed: %w", err)
}
return result, nil
}
```
#### 3. Flash Loan Callback
```solidity
// contracts/liquidation/LiquidationBot.sol
function receiveFlashLoan(
IERC20[] memory tokens,
uint256[] memory amounts,
uint256[] memory feeAmounts,
bytes memory userData
) external override {
require(msg.sender == BALANCER_VAULT, "Only vault");
// Decode liquidation data
(address user, address collateralAsset, address debtAsset, uint256 debtToCover)
= abi.decode(userData, (address, address, address, uint256));
// 1. Approve Aave to take debt tokens
IERC20(debtAsset).approve(AAVE_POOL, debtToCover);
// 2. Liquidate position
IAavePool(AAVE_POOL).liquidationCall(
collateralAsset, // Collateral to receive
debtAsset, // Debt to repay
user, // User being liquidated
debtToCover, // Amount of debt to repay
false // Don't receive aTokens
);
// 3. Now we have collateral + liquidation bonus
uint256 collateralReceived = IERC20(collateralAsset).balanceOf(address(this));
// 4. Swap collateral for debt token
uint256 debtTokenReceived = swapOnUniswap(
collateralAsset,
debtAsset,
collateralReceived
);
// 5. Repay flash loan
IERC20(tokens[0]).transfer(BALANCER_VAULT, amounts[0]);
// 6. Profit = debtTokenReceived - debtToCover - flashLoanFee
uint256 profit = debtTokenReceived - debtToCover;
emit LiquidationExecuted(user, profit);
}
```
### Risk Mitigation
**1. Price Oracle Risk**
- Use Chainlink price feeds (most reliable)
- Have backup oracle (Uniswap TWAP)
- Validate prices before execution
**2. Gas Competition**
- Liquidations are competitive
- Use high gas price or Flashbots
- Monitor gas prices in real-time
**3. Failed Liquidation**
- Position already liquidated
- Mitigation: Check health factor immediately before execution
### Expected Outcomes
```
Conservative Estimate:
- 1 liquidation/day @ $100 profit = $100/day
- Monthly: $3,000
Realistic Estimate (volatile market):
- 3 liquidations/day @ $300 profit = $900/day
- Monthly: $27,000
Optimistic Estimate (market crash):
- 10 liquidations/day @ $1,000 profit = $10,000/day
- Monthly: $300,000
```

## ⚡ Strategy 3: JIT Liquidity
### What is JIT Liquidity?
```
Large Swap Pending:
- User wants to swap 100 ETH → USDC
- Current pool has low liquidity
- High price impact (1-2%)
JIT Liquidity Strategy:
1. Front-run: Add liquidity to pool
2. User's swap executes (we earn LP fees)
3. Back-run: Remove liquidity
4. Profit: LP fees from large swap - gas costs
```
### Profitability
```
Target: Large swaps with high price impact
LP Fee: 0.3% (UniswapV3) or 0.05-1% (custom)
Profit per JIT: $2-$50
Frequency: 10-50 per day
Daily profit: $20-$2,500
```
### Implementation (Simplified)
```solidity
// contracts/jit/JITLiquidity.sol
function executeJIT(
address pool,
uint256 amount0,
uint256 amount1,
int24 tickLower,
int24 tickUpper
) external {
// 1. Add liquidity in tight range around current price
INonfungiblePositionManager(POSITION_MANAGER).mint(
INonfungiblePositionManager.MintParams({
token0: token0,
token1: token1,
fee: 3000,
tickLower: tickLower,
tickUpper: tickUpper,
amount0Desired: amount0,
amount1Desired: amount1,
amount0Min: 0,
amount1Min: 0,
recipient: address(this),
deadline: block.timestamp
})
);
// Position will earn fees from the large swap
// 2. In next block, remove liquidity
// (This happens in a separate transaction after user's swap)
}
```
### Risk Mitigation
**1. Impermanent Loss**
- Tight price range minimizes IL
- Remove liquidity immediately after swap
**2. Gas Costs**
- Adding/removing liquidity is expensive (400k+ gas)
- Only profitable for very large swaps (>$50k)
**3. Timing Risk**
- User tx might not execute
- Mitigation: Bundle with Flashbots
### Expected Outcomes
```
Conservative Estimate:
- 5 JIT opportunities/day @ $10 profit = $50/day
- Monthly: $1,500
Realistic Estimate:
- 20 JIT opportunities/day @ $25 profit = $500/day
- Monthly: $15,000
```
