# MEV Bot Log Analysis Report
**Generated:** November 1, 2025 11:00 AM
**Analysis Period:** Last session (Nov 1, 2025 10:43-10:55)

## Executive Summary

### Health Metrics
- **Overall Health Score:** 91.78/100 (Excellent)
- **Error Rate:** 8.22% (45,760 errors out of 556,224 log lines)
- **Success Rate:** 1.61% (9,005 successful operations)
- **Total Blocks Processed:** 147,848
- **DEX Transactions Analyzed:** 310,475
- **Opportunities Detected:** 17,938

## Critical Issues Identified

### 1. **Profit Threshold Inconsistency** ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY

**Issue:** Configuration mismatch between detection and execution thresholds

**Evidence:**
- Detection finds opportunities with 0.000316 ETH profit
- Execution rejects them requiring 0.001 ETH minimum
- **826 opportunities rejected** due to this mismatch

**Code Locations:**
- Hardcoded in `pkg/arbitrage/executor.go:125`
- Config in `config/arbitrum_production.yaml:263,290`

**Impact:** Missing profitable opportunities that meet ROI criteria but fall below absolute threshold

**Recommendation:**
- Lower `min_profit_wei` to `500000000000000` (0.0005 ETH / $1.00)
- Update hardcoded value in executor.go to match
- Align both thresholds to avoid wasted computation

### 2. **Pool Blacklist Saturation** ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY

**Issue:** 4,661 pools blacklisted, causing 637+ errors

**Top Blacklisted Pools:**
- `0xc473e2aEE3441BF9240Be85eb122aBB059A3B57c` - 637+ rejections
- `0xC6962004f452bE9203591991D15f6b388e09E8D0` - Multiple rejections

**Impact:**
- Reduced opportunity discovery
- Potential false negatives if pools recover
- Growing memory footprint (~200KB)

**Recommendation:**
- Implement time-based blacklist expiration (24 hours)
- Add pool health recovery checks
- Periodic cleanup of old entries

### 3. **Context Cancellation Cascade** ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY

**Issue:** 98 "context canceled" errors during shutdown

**Evidence:** Blocks 395712991-395713046 (55 blocks) lost during shutdown at 10:47:57

**Impact:**
- Lost block processing
- Potential missed opportunities
- Incomplete transaction analysis

**Recommendation:**
- Implement graceful shutdown with request draining
- Add checkpoint/resume capability
- Separate context for rate limiter

## Error Distribution

| Error Type | Count | Percentage | Severity |
|------------|-------|------------|----------|
| Profit below threshold | 826 | 1.8% | HIGH |
| Timeout errors | 1,653 | 3.7% | MEDIUM |
| Pool blacklisted | 637 | 1.4% | MEDIUM |
| Connection errors | 99 | 0.2% | LOW |
| Context canceled | 98 | 0.2% | LOW |

## Immediate Actions Required

### 1. Fix Profit Threshold Alignment (< 1 hour)

**Config Change:**
```yaml
# config/arbitrum_production.yaml
arbitrage:
  min_profit_wei: 500000000000000  # Changed from 1000000000000000
  min_profit_threshold: 0.0005     # Changed from 0.001
```

**Code Change:**
```go
// pkg/arbitrage/executor.go:125
minProfitThreshold, err := math.NewUniversalDecimal(big.NewInt(500000000000000), 18, "ETH")
```

**Expected Impact:** +15-25% opportunity execution (826 → 200+ more executions)

### 2. Implement Blacklist TTL (1-3 days)

Add new configuration:
```yaml
arbitrage:
  pool_blacklist_ttl: "24h"
  pool_recovery_check_interval: "1h"
  pool_blacklist_max_size: 10000
```

**Expected Impact:** +5-10% pool coverage

### 3. Improve Shutdown Handling (1-3 days)

Add configuration:
```yaml
arbitrage:
  graceful_shutdown_timeout: "60s"
  enable_checkpoint_resume: true
  drain_timeout: "30s"
```

**Expected Impact:** +2-3% block completeness

## Monitoring Recommendations

### Alert Thresholds
- ❌ Error rate > 10% (currently 8.22%)
- ✅ Blacklist size > 5,000 (currently 4,661)
- ✅ Profit rejections > 1,000/session (currently 826)

### Key Metrics to Track
1. Opportunity conversion rate (detected → executed)
2. Blacklist growth rate (entries/hour)
3. Average opportunity profit
4. RPC failover rate

## Conclusion

**Overall Assessment:** 91.78% health - System is stable and functional

**Critical Finding:** Profit threshold misalignment is the primary issue, causing 826 missed opportunities per session.

**Estimated Total Impact of All Fixes:**
- **+20-35% overall opportunity execution**
- **+5-10% pool coverage**
- **+2-3% block completeness**

**Priority Actions:**
1. ✅ Immediate: Fix profit thresholds (config + code)
2. 🔄 Short-term: Add blacklist TTL
3. 🔄 Short-term: Improve shutdown handling
4. 📊 Ongoing: Monitor conversion metrics
