## Phase 1 Deployment Command

```bash
cd /docker/mev-beta
./scripts/deploy_phase1.sh
```

**What this does:**
1. Validates `.env` configuration
2. Checks for `PRIVATE_KEY`
3. Verifies RPC connectivity to Arbitrum mainnet
4. Creates Phase 1 configuration (forces dry-run mode)
5. Deploys container: `mev-bot-v2-phase1`
6. Displays monitoring commands

---

## Monitoring Commands

### Real-time Logs
```bash
podman logs -f mev-bot-v2-phase1
```

### Check for Opportunities
```bash
podman logs mev-bot-v2-phase1 | grep -i 'opportunity'
```

### Check for Errors
```bash
podman logs mev-bot-v2-phase1 | grep -i 'error'
```

### View Safety Configuration
```bash
podman logs mev-bot-v2-phase1 | grep -A20 'SAFETY CONFIGURATION'
```

### Container Status
```bash
podman ps | grep mev-bot-v2-phase1
```

---

## Emergency Stop Procedures

### Method 1: Graceful Shutdown (Recommended)
```bash
podman exec mev-bot-v2-phase1 touch /tmp/mev-bot-emergency-stop
# Bot will detect file within 10 seconds and shutdown gracefully
```

### Method 2: Immediate Stop
```bash
podman stop mev-bot-v2-phase1
```

### Method 3: Force Kill (if unresponsive)
```bash
podman kill mev-bot-v2-phase1
```

---

## Phase 1 Success Criteria

**Duration:** 48 hours minimum

**Must achieve:**
- [ ] Bot runs stable for 48 hours without crashes
- [ ] At least 10 arbitrage opportunities detected
- [ ] No unhandled errors in logs
- [ ] RPC connection remains stable
- [ ] Safety configuration logged at startup
- [ ] Profit calculations appear reasonable

**Monitoring schedule:**
- Check logs every 4 hours
- Review opportunity detection rate
- Verify no memory leaks (resource usage stable)
- Confirm dry-run mode active (0 transactions executed)

---

## After Phase 1 Success

### Phase 2: SKIPPED
Per user requirement, testnet deployment skipped. Using Anvil fork only.

### Phase 3: Minimal Capital Test

**Only proceed if Phase 1 succeeds**

**Configuration changes needed:**
```bash
# In .env:
ENABLE_EXECUTION=true
DRY_RUN_MODE=false
MIN_PROFIT_THRESHOLD=0.01       # 1% minimum profit
MAX_POSITION_SIZE_ETH=0.01      # 0.01 ETH maximum
MAX_DAILY_VOLUME_ETH=0.1        # 0.1 ETH daily limit
MAX_CONSECUTIVE_LOSSES=1        # Stop after 1 loss
```

**Wallet funding:**
- Fund wallet with **0.1 ETH** on Arbitrum
- Bridge: https://bridge.arbitrum.io/
- Or use exchanges: Binance, Coinbase (withdraw directly to Arbitrum)

**Phase 3 duration:** 24-48 hours

---

## Security Reminders

### Critical Rules:
1. ✅ **NEVER commit `.env` to git** (contains private key)
2. ✅ **NEVER share private key** with anyone
3. ✅ **Use dedicated wallet** (not personal funds)
4. ✅ **Limit funds** (Phase 1: 0 ETH, Phase 3: 0.1 ETH max)
5. ✅ **Monitor continuously** (every 4 hours during Phase 1)

### Files to Protect:
- `.env` (contains `PRIVATE_KEY`)
- `.wallet_info.txt` (contains wallet backup)

Both are already protected by `.gitignore` with 600 permissions.
