# MEV Bot Project Planning Document
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This document provides a comprehensive plan for developing and enhancing the MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) bot with a focus on arbitrage opportunities on the Arbitrum network. The bot monitors the Arbitrum sequencer for potential swap opportunities and identifies profitable arbitrage opportunities across different DEX protocols.
|
|
|
|
## Project Goals
|
|
|
|
1. **Core Functionality**: Build a robust MEV bot that can identify, analyze, and execute profitable arbitrage opportunities
|
|
2. **Performance**: Achieve sub-millisecond processing for arbitrage detection with high-frequency monitoring (250ms intervals)
|
|
3. **Multi-Protocol Support**: Support multiple DEX protocols including Uniswap V2/V3, SushiSwap, and others on Arbitrum
|
|
4. **Reliability**: Implement robust error handling, retry mechanisms, and graceful degradation under load
|
|
5. **Security**: Ensure secure transaction signing, rate limiting, and input validation
|
|
6. **Scalability**: Design for horizontal scalability with concurrent processing and efficient resource utilization
|
|
|
