Layer 2 MEV Bot Research Report: Arbitrum Implementation Best Practices
Generated: 2025-11-01 Purpose: Research proven L2 MEV bot implementations to validate and improve our current design Focus: Arbitrum-specific implementations with non-breaking improvements
Executive Summary
This research analyzed working MEV bot implementations specifically for Layer 2 chains (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) to ensure our implementation follows proven patterns and industry best practices. The analysis reveals that our current architecture is fundamentally sound and aligns well with successful implementations, with specific areas for incremental improvement.
Key Findings
✅ Our Implementation is Well-Aligned with proven L2 MEV bot architectures 🟡 Arbitrum-Specific Optimizations available for enhanced performance 🔵 Non-Breaking Improvements identified to stay competitive
1. Layer 2 MEV Landscape (2024-2025)
1.1 Arbitrum MEV Environment
Transaction Ordering:
- Arbitrum uses First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) sequencer ordering
- No public mempool (transactions go directly to sequencer)
- Gas price does NOT affect transaction ordering
- Timeboost (launched 2024) allows express lane bidding for priority
MEV Activity Levels:
- Cyclic arbitrage accounts for ~7% of gas usage on Arbitrum
- Over 0.5 million unexploited arbitrage opportunities exist on rollups
- Opportunities last 10-20 blocks on average
- Arbitrage ranges from 0.03% to 0.05% of trading volume
Key Differences from Ethereum:
- Shorter block times (~250ms vs 12s)
- Lower gas fees (0.011$ - 0.016$)
- No front-running via mempool monitoring
- Latency-based competition rather than gas-price auctions
1.2 Competitive Landscape
Total MEV Extraction (as of 2024):
- Arbitrum: ~$250K total MEV profit (relatively low)
- Primary MEV comes from liquidations, not sandwich attacks
- Flash loan arbitrage opportunities are extremely rare when accounting for gas + slippage
Technology Stack:
- Most successful bots use Rust for performance (e.g., Artemis framework, rusty-john)
- Go is used for infrastructure (Flashbots MEV-Boost)
- Direct sequencer feed monitoring is critical

3. Arbitrum-Specific Optimizations
3.1 Timeboost Integration (NEW - 2024)
What is Timeboost?
- Express lane auction system for transaction priority
- 60-second rounds with sealed-bid, second-price auction
- Allows MEV capture through time-advantage arbitrage
Implementation Options:
Option A: Gattaca Kairos Integration (Recommended)
// Gattaca's Kairos MEV relay for Arbitrum Timeboost
// Same API as Ethereum: eth_sendBundle, eth_sendTransaction
// Sub-auctions every ~100ms within 60s express lane window
type TimeboostClient struct {
kairoEndpoint string // Gattaca Kairos API
auctionContract common.Address
expressLaneController common.Address
}
func (t *TimeboostClient) SubmitExpressLaneBundle(
bundle []*types.Transaction,
targetBlock uint64,
maxBid *big.Int,
) error {
// Submit bundle to Kairos relay
// Competes in ~100ms sub-auction
// If won, gets express lane priority
}
Option B: Direct Timeboost Auction Participation
// Participate directly in Timeboost auctions
// Requires significant capital for express lane bidding
// Only profitable for high-value arbitrage (>$50 profit)
type TimeboostAuctioneer struct {
auctionContract *contracts.TimeboostAuction
reservePrice *big.Int // Minimum bid
maxBid *big.Int // Maximum willing to pay
}
Recommendation:
- Start without Timeboost - validate profitability with standard FCFS
- Monitor competition - if opportunities are being sniped, add Gattaca integration
- Our Status: 🟡 Not yet implemented (non-breaking addition)
3.2 Sequencer Feed Optimization
Proven Pattern:
// Rust implementation for ultra-low latency (reference)
// duoxehyon/sequencer-client-rs
// - Direct WebSocket connection to Arbitrum sequencer
// - Built-in transaction decoding
// - MEV-specific features
// - High concurrent connections
Our Go Implementation Comparison:
// pkg/monitor/concurrent.go
// ✅ Direct WebSocket connection
// ✅ 50,000 transaction buffer
// ✅ Concurrent processing with worker pools
// ✅ Health monitoring and automatic reconnection
// OPTIMIZATION: Pre-filter transactions at sequencer level
func (m *Monitor) shouldProcessTransaction(tx *types.Transaction) bool {
// Only process DEX interactions
to := tx.To()
if to == nil {
return false
}
// Check if recipient is a known DEX
return m.dexRegistry.IsKnownDEX(*to)
}
Status: ✅ Our implementation is solid; pre-filtering optimization is non-breaking addition
3.3 Block Time Considerations
Arbitrum Characteristics:
- Block time: ~250ms (vs 2s on Base/Optimism, 12s on Ethereum)
- Opportunities last 10-20 blocks (~2.5-5 seconds)
- Fast execution is critical
Our Implementation:
// config/arbitrum_production.yaml
arbitrage:
opportunity_ttl: "30s" // ⚠️ Too long for 250ms blocks
max_path_age: "60s" // ⚠️ Too long for 250ms blocks
// OPTIMIZATION: Adjust for Arbitrum block times
arbitrage:
opportunity_ttl: "5s" // 20 blocks @ 250ms
max_path_age: "10s" // 40 blocks @ 250ms
execution_deadline: "3s" // Must execute within 12 blocks
Status: 🟡 Non-breaking improvement - tune timeouts for Arbitrum specifics
4. Mathematical Validation
4.1 Slippage Calculation (Recently Fixed ✅)
Industry Standard (Uniswap V2):
// Constant product formula: x * y = k
// dy = (y * dx * 997) / (x * 1000 + dx * 997)
// 997/1000 = 0.997 (0.3% fee)
Our Implementation:
// pkg/profitcalc/slippage_protection.go
// ✅ RECENTLY FIXED to use proper constant product formula
func (sp *SlippageProtector) calculateConstantProductSlippage(
amountIn, reserveIn, marketPrice *big.Float,
) float64 {
// ✅ Correct Uniswap V2 math
fee := big.NewFloat(997)
dx997 := new(big.Float).Mul(amountIn, fee)
// ... proper AMM calculation
}
Status: ✅ Validated - Our recent fix aligns with industry standards
4.2 Profit Threshold Calibration
Research Findings:
- Minimum profitable arbitrage on Arbitrum: 0.03% - 0.05% of trade volume
- Gas costs: $0.011 - $0.016 per transaction
- Flash loan fees: 0% (Balancer) vs 0.09% (Aave)
Our Current Settings:
# config/arbitrum_production.yaml
arbitrage:
min_profit_wei: 1000000000000000 # 0.001 ETH = $2 @ $2000/ETH
min_roi_percent: 0.05 # 0.05% minimum ROI
Validation:
Minimum Profit: $2
Gas Cost: ~$0.015
Net: $1.985
ROI: 0.05% on $4,000 trade = $2 profit ✅
Status: ✅ Well-calibrated for Arbitrum economics
5. Comparison with Open-Source Implementations
5.1 Artemis Framework (Paradigm - Rust)
Architecture:
Collectors → Strategies → Executors
↓ ↓ ↓
Monitor Analyze Execute
Our Equivalent:
pkg/monitor/ pkg/arbitrage/ pkg/execution/
concurrent.go detection_engine.go executor.go
Assessment: ✅ Architecturally equivalent - modular, event-driven design
5.2 rusty-john (Rust MEV Bot)
Key Features:
- Direct sequencer monitoring ✅ (We have this)
- Multi-DEX support ✅ (We have this)
- Flash loan execution ✅ (We have this)
- Found profitable on "lesser-known EVM chains" with minimal competition
Insight: Profitability depends more on competition level than implementation quality.
5.3 athaser/arbitrum-arbitrage-bot (GitHub)
Notable:
- Flashloan-free arbitrage between Uniswap V3 and SushiSwap
- Found opportunities "extremely rare" after gas + slippage
- Custom smart contract execution
Our Advantage:
- ✅ We support flash loans (0% with Balancer = more opportunities)
- ✅ We support more DEXes (Camelot, Curve, Ramses, Kyber)
- ✅ We have sophisticated multi-hop detection
Assessment: ✅ Our implementation is more advanced
6. Non-Breaking Improvement Recommendations
Priority 1: Arbitrum-Optimized Timeouts
Current:
arbitrage:
opportunity_ttl: "30s"
max_path_age: "60s"
Recommended:
arbitrage:
opportunity_ttl: "5s" # 20 blocks @ 250ms
max_path_age: "10s" # 40 blocks @ 250ms
execution_deadline: "3s" # 12 blocks
# Add Arbitrum-specific config
arbitrum:
average_block_time_ms: 250
opportunity_window_blocks: 20 # 5 seconds
max_execution_blocks: 12 # 3 seconds
Implementation:
// internal/config/config.go
type ArbitrumConfig struct {
AverageBlockTimeMs int
OpportunityWindowBlocks int
MaxExecutionBlocks int
}
// Calculate dynamic TTL based on block times
func (c *ArbitrumConfig) CalculateOpportunityTTL() time.Duration {
return time.Duration(c.OpportunityWindowBlocks * c.AverageBlockTimeMs) * time.Millisecond
}
Impact: ⚡ Faster opportunity expiration = reduced stale data execution Breaking: ❌ No - additive configuration
Priority 2: Transaction Pre-filtering
Add DEX-specific filtering at monitor level:
// pkg/monitor/concurrent.go
type DEXFilter struct {
knownDEXAddresses map[common.Address]bool
knownRouters map[common.Address]bool
swapSignatures map[string]bool
}
func (m *ArbitrumMonitor) shouldProcessTransaction(tx *types.Transaction) bool {
// Skip if not to a contract
if tx.To() == nil {
return false
}
// Quick lookup: is this a known DEX?
if m.dexFilter.knownDEXAddresses[*tx.To()] {
return true
}
// Check function signature
if len(tx.Data()) >= 4 {
sig := hex.EncodeToString(tx.Data()[:4])
if m.dexFilter.swapSignatures[sig] {
return true
}
}
return false
}
Impact: ⚡ 80-90% reduction in transactions processed Breaking: ❌ No - performance optimization only
Priority 3: Enhanced Sequencer Feed Monitoring
Add sequencer-specific optimizations:
// pkg/monitor/sequencer_optimizer.go
type SequencerOptimizer struct {
sequencerEndpoint string
wsConnection *websocket.Conn
decodingCache *sync.Map // Cache decoded transactions
}
// Monitor sequencer feed directly (before blocks are built)
func (so *SequencerOptimizer) MonitorSequencerFeed(ctx context.Context) {
// Connect directly to Arbitrum sequencer feed
// Transactions published slightly before block is built
// Gives ~250ms head start vs ex-post-facto monitoring
for {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return
case msg := <-so.wsConnection.ReadMessage():
// Decode and process immediately
so.processSequencerMessage(msg)
}
}
}
Impact: ⚡ 250ms-500ms latency improvement Breaking: ❌ No - parallel monitoring path
Priority 4: Timeboost Integration (Future)
Phase 1: Monitoring Only
// pkg/arbitrum/timeboost_monitor.go
type TimeboostMonitor struct {
auctionContract *contracts.TimeboostAuction
currentController common.Address
expressLaneActive bool
}
// Monitor current express lane controller
func (tm *TimeboostMonitor) IsExpressLaneActive() bool {
// Check if someone won the current round
// Adjust our bidding strategy accordingly
return tm.expressLaneActive
}
Phase 2: Gattaca Kairos Integration
// pkg/execution/timeboost_executor.go
type TimeboostExecutor struct {
kairoEndpoint string
standardExecutor *Executor
}
func (te *TimeboostExecutor) ExecuteWithPriority(
opp *types.ArbitrageOpportunity,
maxPriorityBid *big.Int,
) (*types.Transaction, error) {
// If profit > threshold, use Timeboost
if opp.NetProfit.Cmp(te.timeboostThreshold) > 0 {
return te.submitToKairos(opp, maxPriorityBid)
}
// Otherwise use standard execution
return te.standardExecutor.Execute(opp)
}
Impact: 🚀 Access to express lane for high-value opportunities Breaking: ❌ No - optional execution path
