# MEV Bot Application Documentation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The MEV Bot is a Go application that monitors the Arbitrum sequencer for swap opportunities and executes arbitrage strategies to capture Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). The application provides two main modes of operation: continuous monitoring and one-time scanning.
|
|
|
|
## Command Line Interface
|
|
|
|
The application uses the `urfave/cli/v2` library for command line parsing. It supports the following commands:
|
|
|
|
### `start` - Start the MEV Bot
|
|
|
|
Starts the MEV bot in continuous monitoring mode. The bot will:
|
|
|
|
1. Connect to the Arbitrum network
|
|
2. Monitor the sequencer for Uniswap V3 swap events
|
|
3. Detect arbitrage opportunities
|
|
4. Execute profitable trades
|
|
5. Log statistics and performance metrics
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./mev-bot start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `scan` - Scan for Opportunities
|
|
|
|
Performs a one-time scan for arbitrage opportunities without executing trades. This mode is useful for:
|
|
|
|
1. Testing the detection algorithms
|
|
2. Analyzing market conditions
|
|
3. Validating configuration parameters
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./mev-bot scan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Application Flow
|
|
|
|
### 1. Configuration Loading
|
|
|
|
The application loads configuration from YAML files in the following priority order:
|
|
1. `config/arbitrum_production.yaml` (if exists)
|
|
2. `config/local.yaml` (if exists)
|
|
3. `config/config.yaml` (default)
|
|
|
|
### 2. Environment Validation
|
|
|
|
Before connecting to the network, the application validates:
|
|
- RPC endpoint URL format and security
|
|
- Required environment variables
|
|
- Network connectivity
|
|
|
|
### 3. Component Initialization
|
|
|
|
The application initializes the following components:
|
|
- **Logger** - Structured logging system
|
|
- **Metrics Collector** - Performance metrics collection
|
|
- **Ethereum Client** - Connection to Arbitrum network
|
|
- **Key Manager** - Secure key management
|
|
- **Arbitrage Database** - SQLite database for persistence
|
|
- **Arbitrage Service** - Core arbitrage detection and execution engine
|
|
|
|
### 4. Service Startup
|
|
|
|
The arbitrage service is started with:
|
|
- Blockchain monitoring
|
|
- Statistics collection
|
|
- Market data synchronization
|
|
|
|
### 5. Operation Mode
|
|
|
|
#### Continuous Mode (`start`)
|
|
- Runs indefinitely until interrupted
|
|
- Monitors for swap events in real-time
|
|
- Executes profitable arbitrage opportunities
|
|
- Updates statistics periodically
|
|
- Handles graceful shutdown on interrupt signals
|
|
|
|
#### Scan Mode (`scan`)
|
|
- Runs for a fixed duration (30 seconds)
|
|
- Detects arbitrage opportunities without execution
|
|
- Reports findings to console and logs
|
|
- Exits after scan completion
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
### Required Variables
|
|
|
|
1. **MEV_BOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY** - Encryption key for secure key management
|
|
- Must be set for both modes
|
|
- Should be a strong, randomly generated key
|
|
|
|
### Optional Variables

1. **MEV_BOT_KEYSTORE_PATH** - Path to keystore directory (default: "keystore")
|
|
2. **MEV_BOT_AUDIT_LOG** - Path to audit log file (default: "logs/audit.log")
|
|
3. **MEV_BOT_BACKUP_PATH** - Path to backup directory (default: "backups")
|
|
4. **MEV_BOT_ALLOW_LOCALHOST** - Allow localhost RPC endpoints (default: false)
|
|
5. **METRICS_ENABLED** - Enable metrics server (default: false)
|
|
6. **METRICS_PORT** - Port for metrics server (default: "9090")
|
|
|
|
## Security Features
|
|
|
|
### Key Management
|
|
- Encrypted storage of private keys
|
|
- Key rotation policies
|
|
- Rate limiting for transaction signing
|
|
- Session timeout mechanisms
|
|
- Audit logging for all key operations
|
|
|
|
### RPC Endpoint Validation
|
|
- URL format validation
|
|
- Scheme validation (http, https, ws, wss)
|
|
- Hostname validation
|
|
- localhost restriction in production
|
|
|
|
### Secure Operations
|
|
- All sensitive operations require encryption key
|
|
- No plaintext key storage
|
|
- Secure memory handling
|
|
|
|
## Logging and Monitoring
|
|
|
|
### Log Levels
|
|
- **Debug** - Detailed debugging information

|
|
|
|
### Metrics Collection
|
|
When enabled, the application exposes metrics via HTTP server:
|
|
- Performance metrics
|
|

|
|
- Gas costs incurred
|
|
|
|
## Graceful Shutdown
|
|
|
|
The application handles shutdown signals (SIGINT, SIGTERM) gracefully:
|
|
1. Stops blockchain monitoring
|
|
2. Waits for ongoing operations to complete
|
|
3. Flushes logs and metrics
|
|
4. Reports final statistics
|
|
5. Cleans up resources

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Common Issues
|
|
|
|
1. **Missing Encryption Key**
|
|
- Error: "MEV_BOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable is required"
|
|
- Solution: Set the encryption key environment variable
|
|
|
|
2. **RPC Connection Failure**
|
|
- Error: "failed to connect to Ethereum client"
|
|
- Solution: Verify RPC endpoint URL and network connectivity
|
|
|
|
3. **Configuration Errors**
|
|

|
|
- Solution: Check configuration file format and required fields
|
|
|
|
4. **Permission Issues**
|
|
- Error: File access denied
|
|
- Solution: Verify file permissions and user privileges
|
|
|
|
### Log Analysis
|
|
- Check INFO level logs for operational status
|
|
- Check WARN level logs for potential issues
|
|
- Check ERROR level logs for failures
|
|
- Use DEBUG level for detailed troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
- Never commit encryption keys to version control

|
|
|
|
### Operations
|
|
- Monitor logs for errors and warnings
|
|
- Enable metrics for performance tracking
|
|
- Regularly review statistics for optimization opportunities
|
|
- Test configuration changes in development first |
