## 🔴 Active Error #1: ABI Unmarshaling (CRITICAL)

### Error Pattern
```
[WARN] Failed to fetch batch 0-1: failed to unpack response:
abi: cannot unmarshal struct {
    V2Data []struct {...};
    V3Data []struct {...};
    BlockNumber *big.Int;
    Timestamp *big.Int
} in to []datafetcher.DataFetcherV2PoolData
```

### Frequency
- **12,094 errors** in current log
- **Continuous occurrence** (latest at 01:04:36)
- **Every pool data fetch attempt fails**

### Affected Pools (Recent Examples)
1. `0x5886e46E6DD497d7501f103a58ff4242bCaa2556` - Block 395229561
2. `0xc1bF07800063EFB46231029864cd22325ef8EFe8` - Block 395229589
3. `0xd13040d4fe917EE704158CfCB3338dCd2838B245` - Block 395229626 (3 failures)
4. `0x62Ca40a493e99470e6fa0F2Dc87b5634515B6211` - Block 395229703
5. `0xC6962004f452bE9203591991D15f6b388e09E8D0` - Block 395229703
6. `0xbF24f38243392A0b4b7A13d10Dbf294F40aE401B` - Block 395229747

### Root Cause Analysis

**The Error Message Reveals**:
```
Contract returns: BatchResponse { V2Data, V3Data, BlockNumber, Timestamp }
Code expects:     []V2PoolData (array)
```

**THIS IS A MISMATCH** between:
1. **Deployed contract ABI** (returns BatchResponse struct)
2. **Code expectation** (expects simple array)

### Deployed Contract Investigation

**Contract Addresses Found**:
- `.env.production`: `0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD`
- `.env.staging`: `0x3c2c9c86f081b9dac1f0bf97981cfbe96436b89d`
- `.env`: NOT SET (using production by default?)

**Critical Question**: Does the deployed contract at `0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD` have:
- Function: `batchFetchAllData()` returning `BatchResponse`?
- OR: Old function returning just arrays?

### Source of Error

**File**: `pkg/datafetcher/batch_fetcher.go:144`
```go
var response datafetcher.DataFetcherBatchResponse
err = dataFetcherABI.UnpackIntoInterface(&response, "batchFetchAllData", result)
```

**Code is CORRECT** - it unpacks into `BatchResponse`.

**BUT**: Error message says it's trying to unpack into `[]DataFetcherV2PoolData`

**HYPOTHESIS**: There might be TWO different code paths:
1. New code (batch_fetcher.go) - Uses BatchResponse ✅
2. Old code (somewhere else) - Expects arrays ❌

## 🔴 Active Error #2: Zero DEX Transactions Detected

### Current Behavior
```
[INFO] Block 395229898: Processing 14 transactions, found 0 DEX transactions
[INFO] Block 395229899: Processing 12 transactions, found 0 DEX transactions
[INFO] Block 395229900: Processing 14 transactions, found 0 DEX transactions
```

### Analysis
- Bot is processing blocks ✅
- Bot is checking transactions ✅
- **NO DEX transactions being detected** ❌

### Related to Swap Detection Fix
This confirms the issue identified in the swap detection fix:
- Discovered pools (96) NOT in DEX filter
- Only hardcoded routers (~20) in filter
- Result: All swaps on discovered pools filtered out

**Status of Fix**: ✅ Code written, ⏸️ Needs bot restart to activate

---

## 🔴 Active Error #3: WebSocket Connection Failures

### Errors on Startup
```
Warning: failed to connect to WebSocket endpoint
wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/...:
websocket: bad handshake (HTTP status 403 Forbidden)

Warning: failed to connect to WebSocket endpoint
wss://arb1.arbitrum.io/ws:
websocket: bad handshake (HTTP status 404 Not Found)
```

### Impact
- ⚠️ Bot falls back to HTTP polling
- ⚠️ Higher latency for new blocks
- ⚠️ Increased RPC call overhead
- ✅ Bot still operational (not fatal)

### RPC Endpoints Status
1. **Chainstack WS** (`wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/...`) - 403 Forbidden (API key issue)
2. **Public Arbitrum WS** (`wss://arb1.arbitrum.io/ws`) - 404 Not Found (endpoint doesn't exist)
3. **HTTP Fallback** - Working

## 📁 Log File Growth Analysis

### Current Growth Rate
```
Oct 30 19:40: mev_bot_errors.log = 56MB
Oct 31 01:05: mev_bot_errors.log = 60MB
Growth: 4MB in ~5.5 hours = 727KB/hour = 17.4MB/day
```

### Projection
- **24 hours**: Error log will reach **77MB**
- **7 days**: Error log will reach **178MB**
- **30 days**: Error log will reach **580MB**

### Recommendation
Implement log rotation immediately or archive current logs.

## 🔍 Detailed Error Chain Analysis

### Error Sequence for Pool Data Fetch
```
1. Swap event detected on pool X
2. Bot attempts to fetch pool data via DataFetcher contract
3. Contract called: batchFetchAllData([X])
4. Contract returns: BatchResponse { V2Data: [], V3Data: [pool X data], ... }
5. ABI unmarshaling ERROR: "cannot unmarshal struct ... in to []V2PoolData"
6. Result: "no data returned for pool X"
7. Pool data unavailable for arbitrage calculation
```

### Impact on Arbitrage Detection
```
Swap Detected → Pool Data Needed → Fetch FAILS → No Arbitrage Check
     ✅              ✅               ❌           ❌
```

**Result**: Even if swaps were detected, arbitrage calculation would fail due to missing pool data.

## 🎯 Root Cause Hypotheses

### Hypothesis #1: Deployed Contract Has Old ABI (MOST LIKELY)
**Evidence**:
- Bindings are correct (verified in previous analysis)
- Code usage is correct (unpacking into BatchResponse)
- Error says contract returns struct BUT code expects array

**Explanation**: The deployed contract at `0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD` might be an OLD version that:
- Has function `batchFetchV2Data()` returning `[]V2PoolData`
- Does NOT have `batchFetchAllData()` returning `BatchResponse`
- OR has `batchFetchAllData()` but returns different structure

**Test**: Call the contract directly to check actual ABI

### Hypothesis #2: Multiple Contract Instances
**Evidence**: Found different addresses in different env files

**Explanation**:
- Production contract: `0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD`
- Staging contract: `0x3c2c9c86f081b9dac1f0bf97981cfbe96436b89d`
- Bot might be calling one while bindings match another

### Hypothesis #3: Network Response Corruption
**Evidence**: Intermittent nature of errors

**Explanation**: Network issues or RPC provider problems corrupting responses

**Likelihood**: LOW (errors are consistent, not intermittent)

## 🔧 Immediate Actions Required

### Priority 1: Verify Deployed Contract ABI ⏰ 15 minutes
```bash
# Option A: Use cast (Foundry)
cast abi 0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD --rpc-url https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc

# Option B: Check Arbiscan
curl "https://api.arbiscan.io/api?module=contract&action=getsourcecode&address=0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD"

# Option C: Try calling the function directly
cast call 0xC6BD82306943c0F3104296a46113ca0863723cBD \
  "batchFetchAllData((address[],address[]))" "([][])" \
  --rpc-url https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc
```

### Priority 2: Deploy New DataFetcher Contract ⏰ 30 minutes
```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/Mev-Alpha

# Deploy DataFetcher with correct ABI
forge script script/DeployDataFetcher.s.sol \
  --rpc-url $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT \
  --private-key $DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY \
  --broadcast \
  --verify

# Update contract address in .env.production
# Restart bot
```

### Priority 3: Archive Current Error Logs ⏰ 5 minutes
```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta
./scripts/archive-logs.sh
> logs/mev_bot_errors.log  # Start fresh
```

### Priority 4: Restart Bot with Swap Detection Fix ⏰ 2 minutes
```bash
# Kill current bot
pkill -9 -f mev-bot

# Start with fresh logs
./mev-bot start 2>&1 | tee logs/startup_with_fix.log
```

## 📊 Comparison: Expected vs Actual

### Expected Behavior (After Fixes)
```
✅ Bot detects swaps on 96 discovered pools
✅ Fetches pool data successfully
✅ Calculates arbitrage opportunities
✅ Finds 5-10+ opportunities per hour
```

### Actual Current Behavior
```
❌ Bot detects 0 swaps (filter issue)
❌ Pool data fetch fails (ABI mismatch)
❌ No arbitrage opportunities
❌ Generating 12,094+ errors
```

---

## 🎯 Success Criteria Post-Fix

After implementing fixes, logs should show:

```
✅ DEX transactions detected > 0
✅ Pool data fetched successfully
✅ Zero ABI unmarshaling errors
✅ Arbitrage opportunities identified
✅ Error log growth < 1MB/day
```

## 💡 Key Insights

1. **Bot IS Running Successfully** - Not hung, actively processing blocks
2. **Errors Are Real-Time** - Not historical, happening now
3. **Dual Problem**:
   - Can't detect swaps (filter issue - fix ready)
   - Can't fetch pool data (ABI mismatch - needs investigation)
4. **Contract Deployment** - Likely root cause is old/wrong contract deployed
5. **WebSocket Not Critical** - Bot works with HTTP fallback

**Document Created**: October 31, 2025 01:05 UTC
**Analysis Duration**: ~20 minutes
**Conclusion**: 🔴 **CRITICAL - Deployed contract ABI mismatch causing 100% pool data fetch failures**

---

*This analysis confirms the bot is operational but completely unable to fetch pool data due to ABI mismatch with the deployed DataFetcher contract. The swap detection fix is ready but cannot be fully tested until pool data fetching works.*
