⚠️ REMAINING ISSUE (Partial Fix)

Zero Address in Liquidity Events ⚠️

Status: PARTIALLY RESOLVED - Needs additional fix

Current Situation:

• Analysis reports: 0 zero address issues
• Actual reality: 64 zero addresses in today's liquidity events (32 events with 2 addresses each)
• Swap events: Validating correctly (0 bytes = new session)

Evidence:

# Count zero addresses in liquidity events
jq -r '.token0Address, .token1Address' logs/liquidity_events_2025-10-30.jsonl | \
  grep "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" | wc -l
# Result: 64 (out of 129 total events = 32 events with zero addresses)

# Sample liquidity event
{"token0Address":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
 "token1Address":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
 "factory":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
 "protocol":"UniswapV3"}

Root Cause Analysis:

1. Liquidity events are logged before validation runs
2. Validation utilities created (pkg/utils/address_validation.go) but not integrated into liquidity event logging path
3. Swap events likely use different code path with validation

Impact:

• LOW - Liquidity events are for monitoring only
• Does not affect core arbitrage detection
• Does not affect swap event processing (working correctly)
• Does not affect block processing or DEX transaction detection

Required Fix (Priority: MEDIUM):

// File: pkg/marketdata/logger.go or equivalent liquidity event logger

import "github.com/fraktal/mev-beta/pkg/utils"

func LogLiquidityEvent(event *LiquidityEvent) error {
    // ADD VALIDATION BEFORE LOGGING
    if err := utils.ValidateAddresses(map[string]common.Address{
        "token0": event.Token0Address,
        "token1": event.Token1Address,
        "factory": event.Factory,
    }); err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("invalid liquidity event addresses: %w", err)
    }

    // Proceed with logging only if validation passes
    return writeToJSONL(event)
}

Workaround (Immediate):

• Filter zero addresses when reading liquidity events
• Use swap events as primary data source (they validate correctly)
• Liquidity events supplementary only
