# 🚀 Deploy NOW for 24-Hour Execution Target
**Status:** CRITICAL BUG FIXED - READY TO DEPLOY
**Time:** October 29, 2025 04:20

---

## ✅ What Was Fixed

### CRITICAL BUG: Empty Token Graph
The multi-hop arbitrage scanner had **ZERO pools** in its token graph!

**Before (BROKEN):**
```go
func updateTokenGraph() error {
    mhs.tokenGraph.adjacencyList = make(...)  // Clear graph
    // Add some example pools...
    // ← THIS WAS EMPTY - NO POOLS ADDED
    return nil
}
```

**After (FIXED):**
- ✅ Added 8 high-liquidity Arbitrum pools
- ✅ WETH/USDC, ARB/USDC, USDC/USDC.e, etc.
- ✅ Real verified addresses with high volume

### AGGRESSIVE SETTINGS
Lowered ALL thresholds by 5-10x:
- Min profit: $0.20 → $0.02 (10x lower)
- Min ROI: 0.05% → 0.01% (5x lower)
- Gas safety: 5x → 1.5x (3.3x lower)

---

## 🎯 DEPLOYMENT STEPS

### 1. Stop Any Running Bot
```bash
pkill mev-bot
sleep 2
ps aux | grep mev-bot  # Verify stopped
```

### 2. Deploy with Production Config
```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta

# Start bot
GO_ENV=production \
PROVIDER_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/config/providers_runtime.yaml \
nohup ./bin/mev-bot start > /dev/null 2>&1 &

# Get PID
echo $! > /tmp/mev-bot.pid
```

### 3. Verify Startup (CRITICAL)
```bash
# Should see within 30 seconds:
tail -f logs/mev_bot.log | grep -i "token graph\|8 high-liquidity\|MEV bot\|arbitrage"

# Look for:
# ✅ "Token graph updated with 8 high-liquidity pools"
# ✅ "Arbitrage service started"
# ✅ "MEV coordinator operational"
```

### 4. Monitor for Non-Zero Profit
```bash
# Watch for opportunities with ACTUAL profit
tail -f logs/mev_bot.log | grep "estimatedProfitETH" | grep -v "0.000000"

# Should see within 1-2 hours:
# estimatedProfitETH:0.00002  (or higher)
```

---

## 📊 MONITORING COMMANDS

### Real-Time Monitoring
```bash
# Terminal 1: Watch opportunities
tail -f logs/mev_bot.log | grep "OPPORTUNITY"

# Terminal 2: Count profitable ones
watch -n 30 'tail -2000 logs/mev_bot.log | grep "estimatedProfitETH" | grep -v "0.000000" | wc -l'

# Terminal 3: Watch for executions
tail -f logs/mev_bot.log | grep -i "executing\|submitted\|success"
```

### Periodic Checks (Every Hour)
```bash
# Count opportunities detected
tail -3000 logs/mev_bot.log | grep "ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITY DETECTED" | wc -l

# Count with non-zero profit
tail -3000 logs/mev_bot.log | grep "estimatedProfitETH" | grep -v "0.000000" | wc -l

# Count execution attempts
tail -3000 logs/mev_bot.log | grep -i "executing arbitrage" | wc -l

# Check service stats
tail -100 logs/mev_bot.log | grep "Arbitrage Service Stats"
```

---

## ✅ SUCCESS INDICATORS

### Hour 1-2: Expect
- ✅ Bot running without errors
- ✅ Blocks being processed continuously
- ✅ DEX transactions detected (10-50 per hour)
- ✅ Opportunities showing up in logs (even if all rejected)

### Hour 2-6: Hope For
- ✅ At least 1 opportunity with `estimatedProfitETH` > 0.00001
- ✅ Net profit > $0 after gas on at least 1 opportunity
- ✅ First execution attempt (may fail - that's OK)

### Hour 6-24: TARGET
- ✅ **GOAL**: 1 successful profitable execution
- ✅ 5-20 opportunities with profit > $0.02
- ✅ 3-10 execution attempts
- ✅ Net P&L >= $0 (break-even or profit)

---

## 🆘 TROUBLESHOOTING

### Issue: Still seeing estimatedProfitETH: 0.000000

**Check 1: Token graph loaded?**
```bash
grep "Token graph updated" logs/mev_bot.log
grep "8 high-liquidity pools" logs/mev_bot.log
```

If **NOT found**, the fix didn't apply:
```bash
# Verify code was compiled correctly
grep -A20 "func.*updateTokenGraph" pkg/arbitrage/multihop.go | head -25

# Should see pool definitions (WETH, USDC, etc.)
# If you see "// Add some example pools..." with nothing after, code wasn't updated!

# Rebuild
make build

# Restart
pkill mev-bot
GO_ENV=production ./bin/mev-bot start
```

**Check 2: Multi-hop scanner being called?**
```bash
tail -1000 logs/mev_bot.log | grep -i "multi.*hop\|scan.*arbitrage"
```

If **NOT found**, scanner isn't running - this is a bigger problem.

### Issue: Opportunities found but none > $0.02 profit

**This is NORMAL for first few hours.** Market is efficient.

**Solutions:**
1. **Lower threshold further** (RISKY):
   ```yaml
   # In config/arbitrum_production.yaml
   min_profit_wei: 5000000000000  # $0.01 instead of $0.02
   ```

2. **Wait longer** - May take 6-12 hours to see first real opportunity

3. **Check if competing bots are faster** - Most opportunities taken in milliseconds

### Issue: Bot keeps crashing or stopping

**Check logs for errors:**
```bash
grep -i "error\|fatal\|panic" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -20
```

**Common issues:**
- RPC rate limiting → Already fixed
- Out of memory → Increase system RAM
- Invalid contract addresses → Verify contracts deployed

---

## 📈 EXPECTED TIMELINE

### Hour 0-2: Detection Phase
- Bot starts successfully
- Processes blocks continuously
- Detects 10-50 DEX transactions/hour
- ALL opportunities show $0 profit (normal initially)
- **No execution attempts** (normal)

### Hour 2-6: Discovery Phase
- First opportunities with profit > $0 appear
- Still mostly unprofitable opportunities
- **0-2 execution attempts** (may all fail)
- Learning phase - bot adapting to market

### Hour 6-12: Optimization Phase
- More frequent profitable opportunities
- **3-5 execution attempts**
- First successful execution (TARGET)
- Profit: $0.02-$0.10 per trade

### Hour 12-24: Stabilization Phase
- Consistent opportunity detection
- **5-10 execution attempts**
- **1-3 successful executions**
- Total profit: $0.05-$0.50

---

## ⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS

### This is AGGRESSIVE and RISKY

**With these settings:**
- Some trades WILL lose money (up to $0.02/trade)
- You're competing with PROFESSIONAL bots
- Success rate will be LOW (<10%)
- First 24h is LEARNING phase

**Monitor Closely:**
- Check logs every 2 hours
- Track cumulative P&L
- Be ready to stop if losing >$0.50
- Don't expect profits immediately

### Realistic Expectations

**Conservative (Likely):**
- Total opportunities: 20-50
- Profitable opportunities: 1-5
- Execution attempts: 3-10
- Successful executions: 0-1
- Net P&L: -$0.10 to $0.10

**Optimistic (Possible):**
- Total opportunities: 50-100
- Profitable opportunities: 5-15
- Execution attempts: 10-20
- Successful executions: 1-3
- Net P&L: $0.05 to $0.50

**Best Case (Unlikely):**
- Total opportunities: 100+
- Profitable opportunities: 15+
- Execution attempts: 20+
- Successful executions: 3-5
- Net P&L: $0.50 to $2.00

## 📞 HELP

If after 6 hours you see ZERO opportunities with profit > $0:

1. Check `CRITICAL_FIX_24H_EXECUTION.md` for troubleshooting
2. Verify token graph loaded: `grep "8 high-liquidity" logs/mev_bot.log`
3. Consider lowering threshold to $0.01 (edit config, rebuild, restart)
4. If still nothing, may need infrastructure upgrade (co-location, mempool monitoring)
