Complete all testnet testing (minimum 7 days) 2. Validate circuit breaker triggers correctly 3. Confirm emergency stop works in all scenarios 4. Test with small capital first (0.1-1 ETH) 5. Monitor continuously for first 24 hours --- ## Configuration Used **Safety Limits:** - Min Profit: 0.01 ETH - Max Position: 0.1 ETH - Max Daily Volume: 0.5 ETH - Max Slippage: 1% - Circuit Breaker: 2 consecutive losses **Test Environment:** - Anvil fork at block: - Test account: 0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 - RPC: http://localhost:8545 --- ## Conclusion **Some tests failed. Review the detailed logs above before proceeding.** Address any failures before testnet deployment. Most failures are likely due to: - Expected limitations of Anvil testing - Features that require live testnet/mainnet - Configuration adjustments needed **Recommend fixing failures before testnet deployment.** --- **Full test logs:** `/docker/mev-beta/safety_test.log` **Generated:** 2025-11-10 23:13:45
