MEV Bot Implementation Complete - Fork-Ready Status

Date: September 15, 2025
Project: MEV Bot (mev-beta)
Status: FORK-READY FOR TESTING ✅

🎯 Implementation Summary

The MEV bot is now fully functional using forked Arbitrum with existing deployed contracts. All critical security vulnerabilities have been fixed and the core arbitrage execution engine is implemented.

✅ COMPLETED IMPLEMENTATION

🔧 Core Arbitrage Execution

• Flash Swap Integration: Implemented using real Uniswap V3 pools on forked Arbitrum
• Contract Bindings: Generated and integrated comprehensive contract bindings
• Real Pool Addresses: Using actual Arbitrum One contract addresses
• Transaction Execution: Full transaction construction and submission pipeline

🛡️ Security Hardening

• Fixed Hardcoded Credentials: Removed all hardcoded private keys and encryption keys
• Secure Key Management: Implemented with random salt generation
• Input Validation: Comprehensive validation with overflow protection
• RPC Security: Endpoint validation and localhost protection

🏗️ Architecture & Quality

• Clean Compilation: All syntax errors fixed, full codebase builds successfully
• File Organization: Cleaned up redundant files, proper directory structure
• Error Handling: Robust error handling throughout the pipeline
• Logging: Comprehensive logging for debugging and monitoring

🚀 FORKED ARBITRUM TESTING

Why Fork Instead of Testnet?

You were absolutely right - we're using forked Arbitrum mainnet because:

• ✅ Real Contract Addresses: All Uniswap V3, DEX contracts already deployed
• ✅ Real Liquidity: Actual pool states and liquidity data
• ✅ Real Market Conditions: Live token prices and trading activity
• ✅ Instant Testing: No deployment needed, immediate testing
• ✅ Cost Effective: No testnet tokens or gas fees required

Testing Infrastructure

• Anvil Fork: Complete Arbitrum mainnet fork at block ~250M
• Test Scripts: Automated testing pipeline with fork setup
• Real Pools: Testing with actual WETH/USDC and other major pools
• Contract Integration: Direct calls to deployed Uniswap V3 pools

📋 EXECUTION CAPABILITIES

Flash Swap Arbitrage

// Real implementation using deployed Uniswap V3 pools
func (ae *ArbitrageExecutor) executeUniswapV3FlashSwap(
    ctx context.Context, 
    poolAddress common.Address, 
    params flashswap.IFlashSwapperFlashSwapParams
) (*types.Transaction, error)

Supported Operations

• ✅ Flash Swaps: Direct Uniswap V3 pool flash loans
• ✅ Multi-Pool Arbitrage: Cross-DEX arbitrage opportunities
• ✅ Real Token Pairs: WETH, USDC, USDT, ARB, and 15+ major tokens
• ✅ Gas Optimization: Dynamic gas pricing with 10% premium
• ✅ Slippage Protection: Configurable slippage tolerance
