Krypto Kajun c7142ef671 fix(critical): fix empty token graph + aggressive settings for 24h execution
CRITICAL BUG FIX:
- MultiHopScanner.updateTokenGraph() was EMPTY - adding no pools!
- Result: Token graph had 0 pools, found 0 arbitrage paths
- All opportunities showed estimatedProfitETH: 0.000000

FIX APPLIED:
- Populated token graph with 8 high-liquidity Arbitrum pools:
  * WETH/USDC (0.05% and 0.3% fees)
  * USDC/USDC.e (0.01% - common arbitrage)
  * ARB/USDC, WETH/ARB, WETH/USDT
  * WBTC/WETH, LINK/WETH
- These are REAL verified pool addresses with high volume

AGGRESSIVE THRESHOLD CHANGES:
- Min profit: 0.0001 ETH → 0.00001 ETH (10x lower, ~$0.02)
- Min ROI: 0.05% → 0.01% (5x lower)
- Gas multiplier: 5x → 1.5x (3.3x lower safety margin)
- Max slippage: 3% → 5% (67% higher tolerance)
- Max paths: 100 → 200 (more thorough scanning)
- Cache expiry: 2min → 30sec (fresher opportunities)

EXPECTED RESULTS (24h):
- 20-50 opportunities with profit > $0.02 (was 0)
- 5-15 execution attempts (was 0)
- 1-2 successful executions (was 0)
- $0.02-$0.20 net profit (was $0)

WARNING: Aggressive settings may result in some losses
Monitor closely for first 6 hours and adjust if needed

Target: First profitable execution within 24 hours

🔧 Breaking Changes

Required Updates

1. MultiHopScanner Constructor ⚠️ REQUIRED

- scanner := arbitrage.NewMultiHopScanner(logger, marketMgr)
+ ethClient, _ := ethclient.Dial(rpcEndpoint)
+ scanner := arbitrage.NewMultiHopScanner(logger, ethClient, marketMgr)

2. MEVCoordinator Constructor ⚠️ REQUIRED (if used)

- coordinator := orchestrator.NewMEVCoordinator(cfg, logger, parser, pools, marketMgr, scanner)
+ coordinator := orchestrator.NewMEVCoordinator(cfg, logger, client, parser, pools, marketMgr, scanner)

3. Scanner Constructor OPTIONAL (backward compatible)

  # Without cache (backward compatible)
  scanner := scanner.NewScanner(cfg, logger, executor, db, nil)

  # With cache (recommended)
+ cache := cache.NewReserveCache(client, logger, 45*time.Second)
+ scanner := scanner.NewScanner(cfg, logger, executor, db, cache)

🛡️ Risk Mitigation

Low Risk

  • Fee calculation fix (simple math correction)
  • Price source fix (better algorithm, no API changes)
  • Event-driven invalidation (defensive checks)

Medium Risk ⚠️ (Mitigated)

  • Reserve caching system
    • Mitigation: 45s TTL, event invalidation, fallbacks
    • Monitoring: Track hit rate and RPC volume

High Risk (Addressed)

  • Reserve estimation replacement
    • Mitigation: Fallback to V3 calculation if RPC fails
    • Testing: Production-like validation complete

🔄 Rollback Plan

If issues occur in production:

Immediate Rollback (No Code Changes)

// Set cache to nil in constructors
scanner := scanner.NewScanner(cfg, logger, executor, db, nil)
// Bot continues to work without caching (slower but functional)

Git Rollback

git revert HEAD~10..HEAD  # Revert profit optimization commits
go build ./cmd/mev-bot
./bin/mev-bot start

Hotfix Branch

git checkout -b hotfix/revert-profit-optimization
# Remove cache parameter, revert critical changes
# Deploy hotfix
