mev-beta/SAFETY_CHECKLIST.md
Administrator 0788bd0b93 feat(safety): add comprehensive production safety documentation 
- Created .env.production.safe with all safety settings
  - Conservative profit thresholds (0.05 ETH min)
  - Strict risk limits (1 ETH max position, 10 ETH daily)
  - Circuit breaker configuration
  - Emergency stop mechanisms
  - Dry-run mode for testing

- Created PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md (20+ pages)
  - 4-phase deployment sequence (dry-run → testnet → micro-test → scale-up)
  - Safety mechanisms documentation
  - Monitoring requirements
  - Infrastructure requirements
  - Troubleshooting guide
  - Legal/compliance warnings

- Created SAFETY_CHECKLIST.md (quick reference)
  - Pre-deployment checklist
  - Daily/weekly monitoring tasks
  - Emergency procedures
  - Capital scale-up guidelines
  - Red flags and stop criteria

Safety Features:
✅ Dry-run mode (simulation only)
✅ Circuit breaker (3 consecutive losses / hourly loss limits)
✅ Emergency stop file-based kill switch
✅ Position size limits
✅ Daily volume limits
✅ Slippage protection (1% max)
✅ Gas price limits (50 gwei max)
✅ Rate limiting (max trades per hour)

Production Status: TESTING PHASE - Safe for small-scale testing only

Next Steps:
1. Follow deployment guide Phase 1 (dry-run for 24+ hours)
2. Validate profit calculations
3. Test circuit breaker
4. Test on testnet before mainnet

MEV Bot V2 - Production Safety Checklist

⚠️ DO NOT SKIP ANY ITEMS - Each one prevents potential losses

Pre-Deployment (MANDATORY)

Configuration

  • .env.production.safe copied and customized
  • DRY_RUN_MODE=true initially
  • ENABLE_EXECUTION=false initially
  • Archive RPC provider configured (Alchemy/QuickNode)
  • Private key stored securely (hardware wallet recommended)
  • All safety limits set conservatively

Testing

  • 24+ hours dry-run monitoring completed
  • Profit calculations manually verified
  • Circuit breaker tested (triggers on losses)
  • Emergency stop tested (creates file successfully)
  • Testnet deployment successful (if applicable)

Infrastructure

  • Monitoring stack deployed (Prometheus + Grafana)
  • Alerting configured (Slack/Discord/Telegram)
  • Server meets minimum specs (4 CPU, 8GB RAM)
  • Low latency RPC connection verified (<100ms)

Deployment Day

Initial Launch (Dry-Run)

  • Deploy with DRY_RUN_MODE=true
  • Monitor logs continuously for 24 hours
  • Verify opportunities detected correctly
  • Check profit estimates look reasonable
  • No errors or warnings in logs

Switch to Live Trading (If Dry-Run Successful)

  • Start with MAX_POSITION_SIZE=0.1 ETH
  • Fund wallet with SMALL amount (0.5-1 ETH max)
  • Set ENABLE_EXECUTION=true
  • Monitor EVERY trade for first hour
  • Manually calculate profit/loss for first 10 trades

Daily Monitoring (First Week)

  • Check bot still running
  • Review all trades from last 24 hours
  • Calculate net P/L (including gas costs)
  • Check circuit breaker events
  • Review error logs
  • Verify wallet balance matches expectations

If ANY day shows net loss: STOP and investigate

Weekly Review

  • Calculate weekly ROI
  • Win rate > 60%?
  • Gas costs < 30% of profits?
  • No unexpected circuit breaker triggers?
  • System stable (no crashes)?
  • Adjust parameters if needed

If unprofitable: DO NOT increase limits

Red Flags - STOP IMMEDIATELY If:

🚨 Circuit breaker triggering frequently (>3 times/day) 🚨 Consecutive losing days (2+ days) 🚨 Gas costs exceeding profits 🚨 Unexpected large losses (>0.1 ETH single trade) 🚨 System errors or crashes 🚨 RPC connection issues

Emergency Procedures

Immediate Stop

# Method 1: Emergency file
docker exec mev-bot-v2-production touch /tmp/mev-bot-emergency-stop

# Method 2: Container stop
docker stop mev-bot-v2-production

# Method 3: Kill immediately
docker kill mev-bot-v2-production

Post-Stop Actions

  1. Export all logs for analysis
  2. Calculate total P/L
  3. Identify root cause
  4. Fix issues before restart
  5. Test fixes on testnet
  6. Only restart if confident in fix

Capital Scale-Up (ONLY if Profitable)

Week Condition Max Position Max Daily Volume
1 Testing 0.1 ETH 0.5 ETH
2 Profitable Week 1 0.25 ETH 1 ETH
3 Profitable Week 2 0.5 ETH 2 ETH
4+ Profitable Week 3 1 ETH+ 5 ETH+

Rules:

  • Each week must be NET profitable before increasing
  • ANY losing week = revert to previous limits
  • NEVER increase >2x in single week

Safety Limits (NEVER Exceed Without Testing)

Parameter Conservative Moderate Aggressive
MAX_POSITION_SIZE 0.1 ETH 1 ETH 5 ETH
MAX_DAILY_VOLUME 0.5 ETH 5 ETH 20 ETH
MIN_PROFIT_WEI 0.05 ETH 0.02 ETH 0.01 ETH
MIN_ROI 5% 2% 1%
MAX_SLIPPAGE_BPS 100 (1%) 200 (2%) 300 (3%)
MAX_GAS_PRICE_GWEI 25 50 100

Start conservative, increase gradually ONLY if profitable

Required Metrics Tracking

Profitability

  • Gross profit per trade
  • Net profit after gas
  • ROI percentage
  • Win rate
  • Largest win/loss

Safety

  • Circuit breaker triggers
  • Emergency stops
  • Daily volume used
  • Position size violations

Performance

  • Trade execution latency
  • Gas cost per trade
  • Failed transaction rate
  • Opportunities detected vs executed

Contact & Support

Before reaching out:

  1. Export logs: docker logs mev-bot-v2-production > debug.log
  2. Calculate exact P/L
  3. Note specific error messages
  4. Check this checklist for missed items

GitHub Issues: https://github.com/your-org/mev-bot-v2/issues

Remember: It's better to miss opportunities than lose capital

Start small, scale slowly, stop quickly if problems occur
