CORE COMPONENTS ANALYSIS ### 2.1 Main Application Entry Point **File**: `/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta/cmd/mev-bot/main.go` (561 lines) **Responsibilities**: - CLI application setup with two commands: `start` and `scan` - Environment configuration management (development, staging, production) - Security manager initialization with encryption and rate limiting - Provider manager setup with separate pools for different operations - Service lifecycle management (startup, shutdown, error handling) **Key Initialization Sequence**: ```go 1. Load environment from .env files 2. Load configuration from YAML 3. Initialize logger with structured logging 4. Validate RPC endpoints for security 5. Create security framework (encryption, signing, audit logging) 6. Initialize metrics collector (optional Prometheus) 7. Setup unified provider manager with multi-pool architecture 8. Create key manager for transaction signing 9. Initialize pool discovery and token cache 10. Create arbitrage service 11. Start integrity monitoring and dashboard 12. Handle graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM ``` **Error Handling Pattern**: ```go if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err) // Error wrapping with context } ``` ### 2.2 Arbitrage Service (Core Engine) **File**: `/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta/pkg/arbitrage/service.go` (62,709 bytes) **Structure**: ```go type ArbitrageService struct { client *ethclient.Client // Ethereum client logger *logger.Logger // Structured logging config *config.ArbitrageConfig // Configuration keyManager *security.KeyManager // Key management // Core Detection Components multiHopScanner *MultiHopScanner // Path scanning executor *ArbitrageExecutor // Execution logic exchangeRegistry *exchanges.ExchangeRegistry // DEX registry arbitrageCalculator *math.ArbitrageCalculator // Profit math detectionEngine *ArbitrageDetectionEngine // Detection logic flashExecutor *FlashSwapExecutor // Flash swaps liveFramework *LiveExecutionFramework // Live execution // Market Data marketManager *market.MarketManager // Market state marketDataManager *marketmanager.MarketManager // Infrastructure poolDiscovery *pools.PoolDiscovery // Pool metadata tokenMetadataCache *tokens.MetadataCache // Token cache // Caching & State tokenCache map[common.Address]TokenPair opportunityPathCache map[string]*ArbitragePath // Statistics & Monitoring stats *ArbitrageStats // Atomic counters for thread safety database ArbitrageDatabase // Persistence } ``` **Key Methods**: - `Start()`: Main service loop, monitors for opportunities - `Stop()`: Graceful shutdown - `GetStats()`: Returns current statistics - `ProcessSwapEvent()`: Handles individual swap events - `AnalyzeMultiHopPath()`: Complex path analysis **Statistics Tracking**: ```go type ArbitrageStats struct { TotalOpportunitiesDetected int64 // Atomic TotalOpportunitiesExecuted int64 // Atomic TotalSuccessfulExecutions int64 // Atomic TotalExecutionTimeNanos int64 // Atomic ExecutionCount int64 // Atomic TotalProfitRealized *big.Int // Protected by mutex TotalGasSpent *big.Int // Protected by mutex AverageExecutionTime time.Duration LastExecutionTime time.Time } ``` ### 2.3 Arbitrum Monitor (Real-time Block Monitoring) **File**: `/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta/pkg/monitor/concurrent.go` (44,805 bytes) **Purpose**: Continuous monitoring of Arbitrum sequencer for transactions **Key Features**: - **High-Throughput Processing**: 50,000 transaction buffer - **Automatic Failover**: Connection manager with health checks - **Rate Limiting**: Integrated rate limiter per endpoint - **Block-by-Block Scanning**: Sequential block processing - **Event Pipeline**: Transaction → Parsing → Analysis → Opportunity detection **Architecture**: ```go type ArbitrumMonitor struct { config *config.ArbitrumConfig botConfig *config.BotConfig client *ethclient.Client connectionManager *arbitrum.ConnectionManager l2Parser *arbitrum.ArbitrumL2Parser logger *logger.Logger rateLimiter *ratelimit.LimiterManager marketMgr *market.MarketManager scanner *scanner.Scanner pipeline *market.Pipeline eventParser *events.EventParser transactionChannel chan interface{} // 50,000 buffer running bool } ``` **Transaction Flow**: ``` Block Header Received ↓ Get Block Transactions ↓ For Each Transaction: - Validate transaction - Decode calldata using ABI decoder - Extract function calls (Uniswap, SushiSwap, Camelot, etc.) - Parse swap events - Calculate potential prices - Send to scanner for analysis ↓ Block Completion Handler - Update market state - Trigger opportunity detection ``` ### 2.4 Arbitrage Detection Engine **File**: `/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta/pkg/arbitrage/detection_engine.go` (31,818 bytes) **Purpose**: Real-time arbitrage opportunity discovery **Key Components**: ```go type ArbitrageDetectionEngine struct { registry *exchanges.ExchangeRegistry // All DEX info calculator *math.ArbitrageCalculator // Profit math gasEstimator math.GasEstimator // Gas costs logger *logger.Logger decimalConverter *math.DecimalConverter // Precision math opportunityHandler func(*types.ArbitrageOpportunity) config DetectionConfig // Concurrent Processing scanWorkers *WorkerPool // Parallel scanning pathWorkers *WorkerPool // Parallel path analysis // State Management isRunning bool stopChan chan struct{} opportunityChan chan *types.ArbitrageOpportunity // Metrics scanCount uint64 opportunityCount uint64 lastScanTime time.Time } ``` **Detection Configuration**: ```go type DetectionConfig struct { ScanInterval time.Duration // Scan frequency MaxConcurrentScans int // Parallel scans MaxConcurrentPaths int // Parallel paths MinProfitThreshold *math.UniversalDecimal // Profit filter MaxPriceImpact *math.UniversalDecimal // Slippage limit MaxHops int // Path length HighPriorityTokens []common.Address // Fast-track tokens EnabledExchanges []math.ExchangeType // DEX filters ExchangeWeights map[math.ExchangeType]float64 CachePoolData bool CacheTTL time.Duration BatchSize int RequiredConfidence float64 } ``` **Opportunity Filtering**: - Minimum profit threshold (default 0.1% after gas) - Maximum acceptable price impact/slippage - Confidence score evaluation - Risk assessment including profitability and execution risk ### 2.5 Connection Management & Resilience **File**: `/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta/pkg/arbitrum/connection.go` (10,973 bytes) **Purpose**: Reliable RPC connectivity with automatic failover **Key Features**: 1. **Circuit Breaker Pattern**: Prevents cascading failures 2. **Exponential Backoff**: Automatic retry with increasing delays 3. **Rate Limiting**: Token-bucket algorithm with burst support 4. **Health Checks**: Periodic endpoint validation 5. **Connection Pooling**: Reuse connections efficiently **Rate Limit Handling** (Recent Fix - Commit 14bf75c): ```go // CallWithRateLimit executes with rate limiting and retry on RPS errors for attempt := 0; attempt < maxRetries; attempt++ { err := rlc.circuitBreaker.Call(ctx, call) if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "RPS limit") { // Exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s backoffDuration := time.Duration(1< 2% (slippage) │ │ - Confidence < 0.7 │ │ - Pool liquidity too low │ │ - Time to execution > deadline │ └───────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌───────────▼───────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Qualified Opportunity (Top N ranked) │ │ │ │ -

Verify opportunity still valid │ │ - Sign transaction with private key │ │ - Submit to Arbitrum network │ │ - Monitor receipt │ │ - Update statistics │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### 3.2 Critical Data Flow Issue (Zero Address Bug - FIXED) **Before Fix (100% Rejection Rate)**: ``` Transaction → Decode → Extract Event ↓ Token0 = 0x0000...0000 ✗ ZERO Token1 = 0x0000...0000 ✗ ZERO ↓ Price Calculation: INVALID Profit Calculation: INVALID ↓ All opportunities REJECTED ``` **After Fix (Valid Token Addresses)**: ``` Transaction → Decode → Extract Event ↓ Fetch poolData from RPC ✓ ↓ Token0 = 0xFD...57 ✓ (e.g., WETH) Token1 = 0x6A...91 ✓ (e.g., USDC) ↓ Price Calculation: VALID Profit Calculation: VALID ↓ Opportunities: 20-40% acceptance rate ``` --- ## 4. KEY ALGORITHMS ### 4.1 Arbitrage Opportunity Detection Algorithm ```pseudocode function DetectArbitrageOpportunities(exchanges, tokens): opportunities = [] for each tokenPair in tokens: // Get prices from multiple exchanges prices = {} for each exchange in exchanges: try: price = GetPrice(exchange, tokenPair) prices[exchange] = price catch: continue // Identify price discrepancies minPrice = min(prices.values()) maxPrice = max(prices.values()) spread = (maxPrice - minPrice) / minPrice if spread > MINIMUM_SPREAD_THRESHOLD (0.1%): // Calculate potential arbitrage // Scenario 1: Buy Low, Sell High (2-hop) profitNet = 0 for exchangeBuy in exchanges: for exchangeSell in exchanges: if exchangeBuy != exchangeSell: gasEstimate = EstimateGas(exchangeBuy, exchangeSell) slippageBuy = CalculateSlippage(exchangeBuy, amount) slippageSell = CalculateSlippage(exchangeSell, amount) grossProfit = prices[exchangeSell] - prices[exchangeBuy] netProfit = grossProfit - gasEstimate - slippageBuy - slippageSell if netProfit > MINIMUM_PROFIT_THRESHOLD: opportunity = { path: [exchangeBuy, exchangeSell], tokens: tokenPair, profit: netProfit, confidence: CalculateConfidence(netProfit, spread), risk: AssessRisk(netProfit, slippage) } opportunities.append(opportunity) // Scenario 2: Multi-hop (3-hop via bridge token) for bridgeToken in tokens: if bridgeToken != tokenPair[0] and bridgeToken != tokenPair[1]: // Token A → Bridge → Token B pathOpportunities = FindArbitrageThrough( tokenPair[0], bridgeToken, tokenPair[1] ) opportunities.extend(pathOpportunities) return Sort(opportunities, by=netProfit DESC) ``` ### 4.2 Profit Calculation with Price Impact ```pseudocode function CalculateProfitWithSlippage(amount, path): // Path: [ExchangeA, ExchangeB, ExchangeC, ...] totalGasCost = 0 totalSlippage = 0 currentAmount = amount for i = 0 to len(path)-1: exchange = path[i] // Uniswap V3 specific math if exchange.type == "UNISWAP_V3": // y = L * (sqrt(P_new) - sqrt(P_old)) // dx = L * (1/sqrt(P_new) - 1/sqrt(P_old)) sqrtPriceX96_before = GetSqrtPrice(exchange, token) // Simulate swap using pool liquidity // actualOut = SimulateSwap(exchange, currentAmount) actualOut = ApplyUniswapV3Math( currentAmount, exchange.liquidity, exchange.sqrtPriceX96, exchange.tick ) // Price impact = (theoreticalOut - actualOut) / theoreticalOut theoreticalOut = GetSpotPrice(exchange) * currentAmount priceImpact = 1 - (actualOut / theoreticalOut) totalSlippage += priceImpact * actualOut else if exchange.type == "UNISWAP_V2": // x*y=k constant product formula // outAmount = (inputAmount * 997 * reserveOut) / (reserveIn*1000 + inputAmount*997) reserveIn = GetReserve(exchange, tokenIn) reserveOut = GetReserve(exchange, tokenOut) amountInWithFee = currentAmount * 0.997 // 0.3% fee actualOut = (amountInWithFee * reserveOut) / (reserveIn + amountInWithFee) priceImpact = 1 - (actualOut / (GetSpotPrice(exchange) * currentAmount)) totalSlippage += priceImpact * actualOut // Estimate gas for this leg if i < len(path) - 1: // Not the last swap estimatedGas = EstimateGas(exchange, "SWAP") totalGasCost += estimatedGas * GetGasPrice() currentAmount = actualOut // Calculate net profit grossProfit = currentAmount - amount netProfit = grossProfit - totalGasCost return { gross: grossProfit, net: netProfit, gas: totalGasCost, slippage: totalSlippage, finalAmount: currentAmount, confidence: CalculateConfidence(netProfit, grossProfit) } ``` ### 4.3 Confidence Scoring ```pseudocode function CalculateConfidence(netProfit, priceImpact, pathLength): // Factor 1: Profitability if netProfit < MINIMUM_PROFIT: profitScore = 0.0 else if netProfit > HIGH_PROFIT_THRESHOLD: profitScore = 1.0 // Excellent else: // Linear scaling between min and high threshold profitScore = (netProfit - MINIMUM_PROFIT) / (HIGH_PROFIT - MINIMUM_PROFIT) // Factor 2: Price Impact Risk if priceImpact > 5%: slippageScore = 0.2 // Very risky else if priceImpact > 2%: slippageScore = 0.5 // Moderate risk else if priceImpact > 0.5%: slippageScore = 0.8 // Low risk else: slippageScore = 1.0 // Minimal impact // Factor 3: Path Complexity Risk if pathLength == 2: complexityScore = 1.0 // Simple 2-hop else if pathLength == 3: complexityScore = 0.85 // Multi-hop, more gas else if pathLength >= 4: complexityScore = 0.6 // Very complex, expensive // Factor 4: Liquidity Adequacy if poolLiquidity > amountIn * 1000: liquidityScore = 1.0 // Very deep pool else if poolLiquidity > amountIn * 100: liquidityScore = 0.9 else if poolLiquidity > amountIn * 10: liquidityScore = 0.7 else: liquidityScore = 0.4 // Shallow, high impact // Combined confidence confidence = ( profitScore * 0.40 + // Profitability is most important slippageScore * 0.30 + // Risk management critical complexityScore * 0.20 + // Path efficiency matters liquidityScore * 0.10 // Liquidity needed for execution ) return confidence // Range: 0.0 to 1.0 ``` --- ## 5. CONFIGURATION SYSTEM **Files**: `/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta/internal/config/` ### Configuration Hierarchy ``` .env or .env.{environment} ↓ config/config.yaml (or local.yaml for development) ↓ Config struct (loaded and validated) ↓ Subsystem configurations passed to services ``` ### Main Configuration Structure ```go type Config struct { Arbitrum ArbitrumConfig // RPC endpoints, chain config Bot BotConfig // Polling, workers, thresholds Uniswap UniswapConfig // DEX addresses Log LogConfig // Logging levels and output Database DatabaseConfig // DB connection details Ethereum EthereumConfig // EVM chain settings Contracts ContractsConfig // Smart contract addresses Arbitrage ArbitrageConfig // Arbitrage detection parameters } ``` ### Key Arbitrage Parameters ```yaml arbitrage: enabled: true min_profit_threshold: 0.1 # ETH min_profit_percent: 0.1 # 0.1% minimum spread max_slippage: 2.0 # 2% max price impact max_price_impact: 2.5 # Additional safety margin max_hop_count: 3 # Max 3-hop paths max_concurrent_executions: 5 confirmation_blocks: 2 arbitrage_contract_address: "0x..." flash_swap_contract_address: "0x..." ``` ### Provider Configuration ```yaml # config/providers.yaml (separate from main config) read_only_pool: - name: "primary_read" url: "wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/..." priority: 1 max_rps: 5 # Conservative for free tier timeout_seconds: 30 execution_pool: - name: "primary_execution" url: "https://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/..." priority: 1 max_rps: 3 # Very conservative for transaction submission timeout_seconds: 15 testing_pool: - name: "local_testnet" url: "http://localhost:8545" priority: 1 timeout_seconds: 30 ``` --- ## 6. ERROR HANDLING & RECOVERY ### 6.1 Error Handling Patterns **Pattern 1: Context-Wrapped Errors** ```go if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("operation context: %w", err) } ``` **Pattern 2: Graceful Degradation** ```go // Try primary exchange, fall back to secondary price, err := GetPriceFromExchange(primaryExchange) if err != nil { logger.Warn(fmt.Sprintf("Primary failed, trying backup: %v", err)) price, err = GetPriceFromExchange(backupExchange) if err != nil { logger.Error("All sources failed, skipping") return } } ``` **Pattern 3: Timeout & Cancellation** ```go ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second) defer cancel() select { case <-ctx.Done(): return ctx.Err() case result := <-resultChan: return result } ``` ### 6.2 Specific Recovery Mechanisms **Circuit Breaker** (pkg/arbitrum/circuit_breaker.go): - Opens after N consecutive failures - Waits T seconds before attempting recovery - Half-open state: limited retries - Auto-closes on success **Rate Limit Backoff** (Recent Fix): ```go // Exponential backoff on rate limits // Attempt 1: Wait 1 second // Attempt 2: Wait 2 seconds // Attempt 3: Wait 4 seconds // Max retries: 3 ``` **Connection Failover** (pkg/arbitrum/connection.go): - Multiple RPC endpoints with priorities - Health checks every N seconds - Automatic switching to healthy endpoint - Notification of endpoint status changes **Zero-Value Validation**: ```go // Skip invalid data early if poolAddress == (common.Address{}) { logger.Warn("Zero address detected, skipping") return } ``` --- ## 7. CONCURRENCY PATTERNS ### 7.1 Goroutine Usage **Worker Pools** (Multiple locations): ```go // Pattern: Fixed number of workers processing from queue type WorkerPool struct { workers int jobQueue chan Job resultChan chan Result wg sync.WaitGroup } // Typical usage: for i := 0; i < poolSize; i++ { go worker.Process(jobQueue, resultChan) } ``` **Example: Scanner Workers** ``` Main goroutine: Monitor blocks ↓ Sends SwapEvents to jobQueue (buffered, 1000 items) ↓ 5 Worker goroutines process in parallel: - Analyze swap - Calculate prices - Detect patterns ↓ Results sent to resultChan ↓ Main thread aggregates results ``` ### 7.2 Channel Patterns **Buffered Channels**: ```go transactionChannel := make(chan interface{}, 50000) // 50k tx buffer opportunityChan := make(chan *ArbitrageOpportunity, 1000) ``` **WaitGroup Synchronization**: ```go var wg sync.WaitGroup for _, item := range items { wg.Add(1) go func(i Item) { defer wg.Done() Process(i) }(item) } wg.Wait() // Wait for all goroutines ``` **Context Cancellation**: ```go ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(parentCtx) defer cancel() // All goroutines listen to ctx.Done() select { case <-ctx.Done(): return // Graceful shutdown case data := <-dataChan: process(data) } ``` ### 7.3 Mutex Protection **Read-Write Locks for Hot Paths**: ```go type ArbitrageService struct { stats *ArbitrageStats statsMutex sync.RWMutex } // Read operation func (s *ArbitrageService) GetStats() *ArbitrageStats { s.statsMutex.RLock() defer s.statsMutex.RUnlock() return copyStats(s.stats) } // Write operation func (s *ArbitrageService) updateStats(delta int64) { s.statsMutex.Lock() defer s.statsMutex.Unlock() s.stats.TotalOpportunitiesDetected += delta } ``` **Atomic Operations for Counters**: ```go type ArbitrageStats struct { TotalOpportunitiesDetected int64 // Use atomic.AddInt64() } // Non-blocking increment atomic.AddInt64(&s.stats.TotalOpportunitiesDetected, 1) ``` --- ## 8.
