+## 🚀 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
+
+# Approve SushiSwap router
+cast send 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1 \
+  "approve(address,uint256)" \
+  0x1b02dA8Cb0d097eB8D57A175b88c7D8b47997506 \
+  1000000000000000000 \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
+
+# Execute swap (bot should detect this!)
+cast send 0x1b02dA8Cb0d097eB8D57A175b88c7D8b47997506 \
+  "swapExactTokensForTokens(uint256,uint256,address[],address,uint256)" \
+  100000000000000000 \
+  0 \
+  "[0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1,0xFF970a61A04b1cA14834A43f5dE4533eBDDB5CC8]" \
+  0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 \
+  $(($(date +%s) + 3600)) \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
+```

+```
+
+## 🔍 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
