MEV BOT - MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS AUDIT SUMMARY
|
|
Date: November 1, 2025
|
|
Status: CRITICAL ISSUES FOUND - IMMEDIATE FIXES REQUIRED
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
AUDIT SCOPE:
|
|
- pkg/pricing/ - Price calculation modules
|
|
- pkg/uniswap/ - Uniswap V3 implementations
|
|
- pkg/dex/ - DEX logic and calculations
|
|
- pkg/math/ - Math utilities and calculations
|
|
- pkg/arbitrage/ - Arbitrage profit calculations
|
|
- pkg/profitcalc/ - Profit calculation logic
|
|
- pkg/validation/ - Price impact validation
|
|
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
CRITICAL ISSUES (3)
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. SLIPPAGE FORMULA IS MATHEMATICALLY INCORRECT
|
|
File: pkg/profitcalc/slippage_protection.go:59-67
|
|
|
|
Current: estimatedSlippage = tradeSizeFloat / 2.0
|
|
Correct: Use proper Uniswap V2 constant product formula
|
|
|
|
Impact: WILDLY INACCURATE slippage estimates leading to:
|
|
- Overestimation of profit margins
|
|
- Approval of trades that will result in losses
|
|
- Completely unreliable risk assessment
|
|
|
|
Example: For a 50% of pool trade, current formula gives ~65% slippage
|
|
when actual should be ~166% (trade becomes unprofitable)
|
|
|
|
2. PROFIT THRESHOLD COMPARISON USES WRONG TYPE
|
|
File: pkg/profitcalc/profit_calc.go:214-216
|
|
|
|
Problem: Converts big.Float (with decimals) to big.Int (no decimals)
|
|
Impact: All profits < 1 wei are incorrectly rejected
|
|
|
|
Example: 0.00005 ETH (50,000 wei as float) becomes 0 when converted to Int
|
|
Legitimate small profit opportunities are rejected
|
|
|
|
3. PROFIT MARGIN CAP REJECTS VALID OPPORTUNITIES
|
|
File: pkg/profitcalc/profit_calc.go:199-210
|
|
|
|
Problem: Rejects any opportunity with >100% profit margin
|
|
Impact: HIGH - Rejects all highly profitable arbitrage opportunities
|
|
|
|
Mathematics: Arbitrage CAN have >100% profit margins (e.g., 150% is valid)
|
|
This artificial cap is mathematically incorrect
|
|
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES (2)
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
4. PRICE IMPACT CALCULATION MISSES FEE ADJUSTMENT
|
|
File: pkg/math/exchange_math.go:128-146
|
|
|
|
Problem: Uses raw amountIn instead of fee-adjusted amount in reserve calc
|
|
Impact: Price impact is underestimated by 0.3-2% depending on fee tier
|
|
|
|
Fix: Use amountInWithFee in newReserveIn calculation
|
|
|
|
5. ARBITRARY GAS COST BUFFER
|
|
File: pkg/profitcalc/profit_calc.go:271-273
|
|
|
|
Problem: Adds arbitrary 20% buffer with no dynamic adjustment
|
|
Impact: MEDIUM - Systematic bias in profit calculations
|
|
|
|
Better: Use dynamic calculation based on actual network conditions
|
|
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
MEDIUM PRIORITY ISSUES (4)
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
6. DIVISION BY ZERO RISK (Multiple locations)
|
|
- slippage_protection.go:56 - No check before division by poolLiquidity
|
|
- decimal_handler.go:308-312 - No check before division by denominator
|
|
|
|
Impact: Silent calculation failures
|
|
|
|
7. NEGATIVE VALUE HANDLING
|
|
File: pkg/math/decimal_handler.go
|
|
|
|
Problem: Code allows negative values where they shouldn't exist
|
|
Impact: Could create invalid negative profit amounts
|
|
|
|
8. UNISWAP V3 PRICE PRECISION LOSS
|
|
File: pkg/uniswap/pricing.go:22-45
|
|
|
|
Problem: Precision loss in SqrtPriceX96 to Price conversion
|
|
Impact: MEDIUM - Slight accuracy loss in V3 calculations
|
|
|
|
9. ROUNDING ISSUES
|
|
File: pkg/math/exchange_math.go:107-109
|
|
|
|
Problem: Always adds 1 when rounding, should check for remainder first
|
|
Impact: LOW-MEDIUM - Slight overestimation of required amounts
|
|

IMPACT ANALYSIS
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
Current Behavior:
|
|
- Slippage estimates are 2-5x off actual values
|
|
- High-margin opportunities are rejected as "unrealistic"
|
|
- Profit calculations may be underestimated by 1-5%
|
|
- Small profitable opportunities (<0.001 ETH) are rejected
|
|
- Gas costs are systematically overestimated by 20%
|
|
|
|
Expected After Fixes:
|
|
- Accurate slippage estimation matching Arbitrum DEXs
|
|
- All mathematically valid opportunities considered
|
|
- Correct profit calculations within 0.1% accuracy
|
|
- No rejection of valid small profit opportunities
|
|
- Dynamic, network-aware gas cost estimation
|
|
|
|
