## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- **Foundry** (for Anvil and Cast): https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation
|
||||
- **Docker or Podman**
|
||||
- **Git**
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Clone and Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /docker/mev-beta
|
||||
|
||||
# Environment file is already configured with test key
|
||||
# .env is ready with Anvil default test account
|
||||
|
||||
# Install Foundry if not already installed
|
||||
curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
|
||||
foundryup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Start Anvil Fork
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Terminal 1: Start Anvil fork of Arbitrum
|
||||
anvil \
|
||||
--fork-url https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc \
|
||||
--fork-block-number latest \
|
||||
--host 0.0.0.0 \
|
||||
--port 8545 \
|
||||
--chain-id 42161 \
|
||||
--accounts 10 \
|
||||
--balance 10000 \
|
||||
--gas-limit 30000000 \
|
||||
--block-time 1
|
||||
|
||||
# Keep this running...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Build and Run MEV Bot
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Terminal 2: Build the application
|
||||
cd /docker/mev-beta
|
||||
|
||||
# If using Docker
|
||||
docker build -t mev-bot-v2 .
|
||||
|
||||
# OR if using Podman
|
||||
podman build -t mev-bot-v2 .
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the bot (point to local Anvil)
|
||||
docker run --rm \
|
||||
--network host \
|
||||
--env-file .env \
|
||||
-e RPC_URL=http://localhost:8545 \
|
||||
-e WS_URL=ws://localhost:8545 \
|
||||
-e SEQUENCER_WS_URL=ws://localhost:8545 \
|
||||
-e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
|
||||
mev-bot-v2
|
||||
|
||||
# OR with Podman
|
||||
podman run --rm \
|
||||
--network host \
|
||||
--env-file .env \
|
||||
-e RPC_URL=http://localhost:8545 \
|
||||
-e WS_URL=ws://localhost:8545 \
|
||||
-e SEQUENCER_WS_URL=ws://localhost:8545 \
|
||||
-e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
|
||||
mev-bot-v2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Create Test Swaps
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Terminal 3: Generate test transactions
|
||||
# Wait for bot to discover pools first (30-60 seconds)
|
||||
|
||||
# Set up environment
|
||||
export PRIVATE_KEY=ac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80
|
||||
|
||||
# Wrap ETH to WETH
|
||||
cast send 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1 \
|
||||
"deposit()" \
|
||||
--value 1ether \
|
||||
--private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
|
||||
--rpc-url http://localhost:8545
|
||||
|
||||

1000000000000000000 \
|
||||
--private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
|
||||
--rpc-url http://localhost:8545
|
||||

|
||||
"swapExactTokensForTokens(uint256,uint256,address[],address,uint256)" \

}
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔍 Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
### Metrics Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View Prometheus metrics
|
||||
curl http://localhost:9090/metrics
|
||||
|
||||
# Example metrics:
|
||||
# mev_bot_tx_processed_total 156
|
||||
# mev_bot_opportunities_found_total 8
|
||||
# mev_bot_executions_attempted_total 5
|
||||
# mev_bot_parse_latency_seconds 0.003
|
||||
# mev_bot_detect_latency_seconds 0.008
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Pool Cache
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View bot logs for pool stats
|
||||
docker logs mev-bot-v2 2>&1 | grep "pools_cached"
|
||||
|
||||
# Should show: pools_cached > 0 (typically 20-50 pools)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Transaction Processing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View processing logs
|
||||
docker logs -f mev-bot-v2 2>&1 | grep -E "tx_processed|opportunity|execution"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: No pools discovered
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check RPC connectivity
|
||||
cast block-number --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
|
||||
|
||||
# Check bot logs
|
||||
docker logs mev-bot-v2 2>&1 | grep "discovery"
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify Anvil is running and forked correctly
|
||||
# Anvil logs should show: "Forked network at block..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Bot not detecting swaps
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Verify pools were discovered
|
||||
docker logs mev-bot-v2 2>&1 | grep "pools_discovered"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check WebSocket connection
|
||||
docker logs mev-bot-v2 2>&1 | grep "connected to sequencer"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Lower profit threshold for testing (in .env)
|
||||
MIN_PROFIT=1000000000000000 # 0.001 ETH
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Create larger swaps
|
||||
# Increase swap amount from 0.1 ETH to 1 ETH
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Compilation errors
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check Go dependencies
|
||||
cd /docker/mev-beta
|
||||
cat go.mod # Should show go 1.21
|
||||
|
||||
# Clean build
|
||||
rm -rf vendor/
|
||||
docker build --no-cache -t mev-bot-v2 .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Anvil fork failing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Use a public Arbitrum RPC
|
||||
anvil \
|
||||
--fork-url https://arbitrum.llamarpc.com \
|
||||
--fork-block-number latest \
|
||||
--host 0.0.0.0 \
|
||||
--port 8545 \
|
||||
--chain-id 42161
|
||||
|
||||
# OR use a specific block number (faster)
|
||||
anvil \
|
||||
--fork-url https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc \
|
||||
--fork-block-number 180000000 \
|
||||
--host 0.0.0.0 \
|
||||
--port 8545 \
|
||||
--chain-id 42161
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 Using Docker Compose (Alternative)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start all services at once
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
|
||||
# View logs
|
||||
docker-compose logs -f mev-bot
|
||||
|
||||
# Stop all services
|
||||
docker-compose down
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: This starts Anvil, MEV Bot, Prometheus, and Grafana together.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Performance Targets
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor these metrics during testing:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Parse Latency:** < 5ms ✅
|
||||
- **Detect Latency:** < 10ms ✅
|
||||
- **Execute Latency:** < 30ms ✅
|
||||
- **Total Latency:** < 50ms ✅
|
||||
- **Throughput:** > 100 tx/sec ✅
|
||||
- **Memory:** < 500MB ✅
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Success Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
Your local test is successful when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Bot starts without errors
|
||||
2. ✅ Pools discovered (pools_cached > 0)
|
||||
3. ✅ WebSocket connected (connected to sequencer)
|
||||
4. ✅ Test swaps detected (tx_processed increases)
|
||||
5. ✅ Opportunities found (opportunities_found > 0)
|
||||
6. ✅ Executions attempted (executions_attempted > 0)
|
||||
7. ✅ Metrics accessible (http://localhost:9090/metrics)
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎓 Next Steps After Successful Local Testing
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Optimize Parameters**
|
||||
- Tune MIN_PROFIT, MAX_SLIPPAGE based on observed opportunities
|
||||
- Adjust WORKER_COUNT for optimal throughput
|
||||
- Configure risk limits (MAX_POSITION_SIZE, MAX_DAILY_VOLUME)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Deploy Flashloan Contract**
|
||||
- Compile and deploy executor contract to Arbitrum testnet
|
||||
- Update EXECUTOR_CONTRACT in .env
|
||||
- Test flashloan execution on testnet
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Testnet Testing**
|
||||
- Test on Arbitrum Goerli with real test ETH
|
||||
- Validate end-to-end flow with real pending transactions
|
||||
- Benchmark latency and success rate
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Security Audit**
|
||||
- Review private key handling
|
||||
- Audit transaction signing
|
||||
- Test circuit breakers
|
||||
- Validate risk limits
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Mainnet Preparation**
|
||||
- Conservative parameters
|
||||
- Gradual rollout
|
||||
- Comprehensive monitoring
|
||||
- Emergency shutdown procedures
|
||||
