**Features:**
- Fetch transaction logs from Arbiscan
- Compare parsed vs actual data
- Detect discrepancies (addresses, amounts, etc.)
- Automatic logging of failures
- Batch validation support

**Use Cases:**
- Continuous validation in testing
- Spot-checking in production
- Parser accuracy measurement
- Debug parsing issues

## Integration Example

```go
// 1. Setup
logger := observability.NewLogger(slog.LevelInfo)
poolCache := cache.NewPoolCache()
factory := NewFactory()

// 2. Register parsers
factory.RegisterParser(ProtocolUniswapV2, NewUniswapV2Parser(poolCache, logger))
factory.RegisterParser(ProtocolUniswapV3, NewUniswapV3Parser(poolCache, logger))
factory.RegisterParser(ProtocolCurve, NewCurveParser(poolCache, logger))

// 3. Parse transaction
events, _ := factory.ParseTransaction(ctx, tx, receipt)

// 4. Validate
validator := validation.NewValidator(validation.DefaultValidationRules())
validEvents := validator.FilterValid(ctx, events)

// 5. Detect arbitrage
for _, event := range validEvents {
    // Check price discrepancies across protocols
    // Calculate potential profit
    // Execute if profitable
}
```

## Performance Characteristics

### Parser Performance
```
UniswapV2 ParseLog:    ~2-3ms per event
UniswapV3 ParseLog:    ~3-4ms per event
Curve ParseLog:        ~2-3ms per event
```
