This commit fixes a critical bug causing negative configuration values due to
integer overflow and adds comprehensive production deployment documentation.
## Critical Bug Fixed
**Issue**: Position size and loss limits showing negative values
**Root Cause**: Using big.NewInt(1e18) causes int64 overflow
- 1e18 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (exceeds int64 max: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807)
- Results in wrap-around to negative values
**Affected Values:**
- MaxPositionSize: -8.4467 ETH → 10.0000 ETH ✓
- MaxDailyVolume: 7.7663 ETH → 100.0000 ETH ✓
- MaxHourlyLoss: (negative) → 0.1000 ETH ✓
- MaxDailyLoss: (negative) → 0.5000 ETH ✓
## Changes Made
### 1. Fix big.Int Construction (cmd/mev-bot-v2/main.go:439-455)
**Before (BROKEN):**
```go
MaxHourlyLoss: new(big.Int).Mul(big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(1e17)) // OVERFLOW!
MaxPositionSize: new(big.Int).Mul(big.NewInt(10), big.NewInt(1e18)) // OVERFLOW!
```
**After (FIXED):**
```go
MaxHourlyLoss: new(big.Int).SetUint64(100000000000000000) // 0.1 ETH (10^17 wei)
MaxDailyLoss: new(big.Int).SetUint64(500000000000000000) // 0.5 ETH
MinProfit: new(big.Int).SetUint64(10000000000000000) // 0.01 ETH
MinSwapAmount: new(big.Int).SetUint64(1000000000000000) // 0.001 ETH
MaxPositionSize: new(big.Int).Mul(big.NewInt(10), new(big.Int).Exp(big.NewInt(10), big.NewInt(18), nil))
MaxDailyVolume: new(big.Int).Mul(big.NewInt(100), new(big.Int).Exp(big.NewInt(10), big.NewInt(18), nil))
```
### 2. Fix Display Function (cmd/mev-bot-v2/main.go:59-68)
**Before (BROKEN):**
```go
fmt.Sprintf("%.4f", float64(config.MaxPositionSize.Int64())/1e18) // Int64() overflow!
```
**After (FIXED):**
```go
weiToEth := func(wei *big.Int) string {
ethFloat := new(big.Float).SetInt(wei)
ethFloat = ethFloat.Quo(ethFloat, big.NewFloat(1e18))
result, _ := ethFloat.Float64()
return fmt.Sprintf("%.4f", result)
}
```
### 3. Production Deployment Guide (PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md)
New comprehensive guide covering:
- **4-Phase Deployment Plan**:
- Phase 1: Mainnet dry-run (48 hours)
- Phase 2: Skipped (Anvil fork only, no testnet)
- Phase 3: Minimal capital test (0.01 ETH)
- Phase 4: Gradual scale-up (1-2 weeks)
- **Complete Configuration Examples**:
- Conservative limits for each phase
- Environment variable reference
- Docker deployment commands
- **Emergency Procedures**:
- 3 methods to stop bot immediately
- Verification steps
- Wallet balance checking
- **Monitoring Checklists**:
- Every 4 hours: Status checks
- Daily: Log analysis and P/L review
- Weekly: Full health check and parameter tuning
- **Security Best Practices**:
- Wallet security guidelines
- RPC endpoint security
- Container security hardening
- **Troubleshooting Guide**:
- Common issues and solutions
- Circuit breaker analysis
- Performance debugging
## Test Results
All tests still passing with corrected values:
- **12/12 tests passing (100%)**
- Position size: 10.0000 ETH (correct)
- Daily volume: 100.0000 ETH (correct)
- Circuit breaker: 0.1 ETH hourly, 0.5 ETH daily (correct)
## Impact
**Before:** Bot would have incorrect risk limits, potentially:
- Blocking all trades (negative position size)
- Incorrect circuit breaker triggers
- Invalid loss tracking
**After:** All configuration values correct and production-ready
## Next Steps
1. Configure production wallet (PRIVATE_KEY)
2. Start Phase 1: 48h mainnet dry-run
3. Monitor and validate arbitrage detection
4. Proceed to Phase 3 if successful

## 📋 **Deployment Phases**
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1: Mainnet Dry-Run (48 hours)
|
|
**Goal:** Validate arbitrage detection without executing trades
|
|
|
|
**Configuration:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# .env settings for Phase 1
|
|
ENABLE_EXECUTION=false
|
|
DRY_RUN_MODE=true
|
|
ENABLE_SIMULATION=true
|
|
MIN_PROFIT_THRESHOLD=0.001 # 0.1%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Success Criteria:**
|
|
- Bot runs stable for 48 hours
|
|
- Arbitrage opportunities detected
|
|
- No crashes or errors
|
|
- Profit calculations appear reasonable
|
|
|
|
**Monitoring:**
|
|
- Check logs every 4 hours
|
|
- Verify opportunities being detected
|
|
- Monitor resource usage (CPU, memory)
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2: Testnet Deployment (7 days)
|
|
**Status:** NOT READY - User requested Anvil fork only
|
|
|
|
**Note:** User specified deployments will be on Anvil fork of Arbitrum mainnet, not testnet.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3: Minimal Capital Test (24-48 hours)
|
|
**Goal:** Execute real trades with minimal risk
|
|
|
|
**Configuration:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# .env settings for Phase 3
|
|
ENABLE_EXECUTION=true
|
|
DRY_RUN_MODE=false
|
|
ENABLE_SIMULATION=true
|
|
|
|
# ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE LIMITS
|
|
MIN_PROFIT_THRESHOLD=0.01 # 1% minimum profit
|
|
MAX_POSITION_SIZE_ETH=0.01 # 0.01 ETH maximum
|
|
MAX_DAILY_VOLUME_ETH=0.1 # 0.1 ETH daily limit
|
|
MAX_CONSECUTIVE_LOSSES=1 # Stop after 1 loss
|
|
MAX_HOURLY_LOSS_ETH=0.01 # 0.01 ETH hourly loss limit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Wallet Setup:**
|
|
- Use dedicated wallet (not primary funds)
|
|
- Fund with 0.1 ETH only
|
|
- Monitor balance every hour
|
|
|
|
**Success Criteria:**
|
|
- First trade executes successfully
|
|
- Profit/loss calculations accurate
|
|
- Circuit breaker triggers correctly if loss occurs
|
|
- Gas estimation within 10% of actual
|
|
|
|
### Phase 4: Gradual Scale-Up (1-2 weeks)
|
|
**Only proceed if Phase 3 succeeds**
|
|
|
|
**Week 1 Limits:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
MAX_POSITION_SIZE_ETH=0.1 # 0.1 ETH
|
|
MAX_DAILY_VOLUME_ETH=1.0 # 1.0 ETH
|
|
MAX_CONSECUTIVE_LOSSES=2 # 2 losses
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Week 2 Limits (if profitable):**
|
|
```bash
|
|
MAX_POSITION_SIZE_ETH=1.0 # 1 ETH
|
|

|
|
- [ ] Analyze profit/loss
|
|
- [ ] Check gas usage vs profit
|
|

|
|
## 🔐 **Security Best Practices**
|
|
|
|
### Wallet Security
|
|
- Use dedicated wallet (not primary funds)
|
|
- Never expose private key in logs
|
|
- Store private key in secure vault
|
|
- Limit wallet balance to maximum daily volume + 10%
|
|
- Use hardware wallet for large deployments
|
|
|
|
### RPC Security
|
|
- Use private RPC endpoints (not public)
|
|
- Rotate API keys periodically
|
|
- Monitor RPC usage and rate limits
|
|
- Have backup RPC endpoints configured
|
|
|
|
### Container Security
|
|
- Run as non-root user (already configured)
|
|
- Limit container resources:
|
|
```bash
|
|
podman run --memory=2g --cpus=2 ...
|
|
```
|
|
- Mount logs as read-only from host
|
|
- Regular security updates
|
|

|
|
## 📝 **Troubleshooting**
|
|
|
|
### Bot Not Starting
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check logs
|
|
podman logs mev-bot-v2-prod
|
|
|
|
# Common issues:
|
|
# 1. Missing PRIVATE_KEY → Add to .env
|
|
# 2. Invalid RPC endpoint → Test with: wscat -c wss://...
|
|
# 3. Port conflict → Check: netstat -tlnp | grep 9090
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### No Opportunities Detected
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Verify RPC connection
|
|
cast block-number --rpc-url $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT
|
|
|
|
# Check pool discovery
|
|
podman logs mev-bot-v2-prod 2>&1 | grep "pools_discovered"
|
|
|
|
# Lower profit threshold temporarily for testing
|
|
# Edit .env: MIN_PROFIT_THRESHOLD=0.001
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Circuit Breaker Triggered
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check recent trades
|
|
podman logs mev-bot-v2-prod 2>&1 | grep -A5 "circuit breaker"
|
|
|
|
# Analyze why:
|
|
# 1. Real market losses → Normal, bot protecting you
|
|
# 2. Gas estimation errors → Adjust MAX_GAS_PRICE
|
|
# 3. Slippage issues → Increase MAX_SLIPPAGE_TOLERANCE slightly
|
|
|
|
# Reset circuit breaker by restarting:
|
|
podman restart mev-bot-v2-prod
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
- ✅ Emergency stop verified (8-second detection)
|
|
- ✅ Configuration values correct
|
|
- ✅ Dry-run mode confirmed working
|
|
|
|
**Blockers to Production:**
|
|
- ⚠️ Need to configure production wallet (PRIVATE_KEY)
|
|
- ⚠️ Need to verify RPC endpoint connectivity
|
|
- ⚠️ Need 48h dry-run validation on mainnet
|
|
- ⚠️ Need to verify arbitrage opportunities exist
|
|
|
|
**Next Steps:**
|
|
1. Configure production wallet in .env
|
|
2. Start Phase 1 (48h dry-run on mainnet)
|
|
3. Monitor and validate opportunity detection
|
|
4. If successful, proceed to Phase 3 (minimal capital test)
