🎯 All 20 Tokens

Tier 1 - Major Assets (10)

# Symbol Name Role
1 WETH Wrapped Ether Base trading pair
2 USDC USD Coin (Native) Primary stablecoin
3 USDT Tether Alternative stablecoin
4 ARB Arbitrum Token Governance
5 WBTC Wrapped Bitcoin BTC exposure
6 DAI Dai Stablecoin Decentralized stable
7 LINK Chainlink Oracle network
8 UNI Uniswap DEX governance
9 GMX GMX Perps protocol
10 GRT The Graph Indexing protocol

Tier 2 - DeFi Blue Chips (5) ⭐ NEW

# Symbol Name Role
11 USDC.e USD Coin (Bridged) High-volume alternative
12 PENDLE Pendle Yield trading
13 RDNT Radiant Capital Lending (Arbitrum native)
14 MAGIC Magic Gaming ecosystem
15 GRAIL Camelot DEX token (Arbitrum native)

Tier 3 - Additional High Volume (5) ⭐ NEW

# Symbol Name Role
16 AAVE Aave Lending protocol
17 CRV Curve Stablecoin DEX
18 BAL Balancer Multi-asset pools
19 COMP Compound Lending protocol
20 MKR Maker DAI governance

🔢 Mathematical Proof: 190 Pairs

Using the combination formula:

C(n, k) = n! / (k! × (n-k)!)

For 20 tokens, choosing 2 at a time:
C(20, 2) = 20! / (2! × 18!)
         = (20 × 19) / (2 × 1)
         = 380 / 2
         = 190 unique pairs

Verification: Code successfully generates all 190 combinations using nested loops (i=0 to 19, j=i+1 to 19).

🏗️ Expected Pool Distribution

Each token pair can have multiple pools across different DEX protocols and fee tiers:

DEX Protocol Fee Tiers Est. Pools Notes
Uniswap V3 0.05%, 0.3%, 1% 120-150 Most liquidity
SushiSwap 0.3% 40-50 Popular pairs
Camelot Variable 35-45 Arbitrum native
Curve 0.04% 8-12 Stablecoin only
Balancer Variable 15-20 Multi-asset
Uniswap V2 0.3% 20-30 Classic AMM
TOTAL - 285-380 Depends on liquidity

Conservative Estimate: 285 pools Optimistic Estimate: 380 pools Previous Coverage: 50-60 pools

Increase Factor: ~5.2x pool coverage

🚀 Testing Requirements

Prerequisites

BLOCKER: Valid Arbitrum RPC endpoint required

Current endpoint returns:

Error: websocket: bad handshake (HTTP status 403 Forbidden)
Endpoint: wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/...

Recommended RPC Providers

Free Options (rate limited):

export ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc"

Premium Options (recommended for production):

# Alchemy (recommended)
export ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://arb-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_API_KEY"

# Infura
export ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://arbitrum-mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_API_KEY"

# Chainstack (current provider, needs valid key)
export ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/YOUR_VALID_KEY"

Testing Procedure

  1. Configure RPC:
export ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT="<your-valid-endpoint>"
export ARBITRUM_WS_ENDPOINT="<your-valid-ws-endpoint>"
  1. Start Bot:
./mev-bot start
  1. Expected Startup Logs:
[INFO] Initializing pool discovery system...
[INFO] ✅ Loaded 10 pools from cache
[INFO] 🔍 Starting comprehensive pool discovery for TOP 20 tokens (190 pairs expected)...
[INFO] ✅ Found 3 pool(s) for WETH/USDC
[INFO] ✅ Found 2 pool(s) for WETH/USDT
[INFO] ✅ Found 2 pool(s) for WETH/ARB
... (continues for ~190 pairs)
[INFO] 🎉 Pool discovery complete! Monitoring 287 pools across 156 pairs
[INFO] 📊 Discovery summary: 277 new pools discovered, 156 pairs active
  1. Verify Results:
# Check total pools discovered
jq 'length' data/pools.json
# Expected: 250-400

# Check pools by DEX
jq 'group_by(.dex) | map({dex: .[0].dex, count: length})' data/pools.json

# Check discovery time
grep "Pool discovery complete" logs/mev_bot.log
# Expected: < 5 minutes

Success Criteria

Criterion Expected Result Status
Tokens Scanned 20 tokens ⏳ Pending RPC
Pairs Checked 190 pairs ⏳ Pending RPC
Pools Discovered 250-400+ ⏳ Pending RPC
Discovery Time < 5 minutes ⏳ Pending RPC
No Fatal Errors Clean logs ⏳ Pending RPC
Cache Persists data/pools.json ⏳ Pending RPC

📊 Performance Considerations

Discovery Time

Current: Sequential discovery with 5-minute timeout Estimated Time: 2-5 minutes for 190 pairs Bottleneck: RPC calls are sequential

Future Optimization (if needed):

// Parallel discovery with goroutines
// Estimated improvement: 5 minutes → 30 seconds (10x speedup)

Memory Impact

Before: ~10 MB (50 pools) After: ~15 MB (300 pools) Increase: +50% (negligible for modern systems)

Network Impact

RPC Calls: ~1,900 calls during discovery (10 per pair × 190) Rate Limiting: Built-in retry logic handles rate limits Recommendation: Use premium RPC for production

🎯 Business Impact

Coverage Expansion

  • Market Coverage: 5.2x more pools monitored
  • Arbitrage Opportunities: Expected 5-10x increase in detections
  • DeFi Exposure: Covers lending (AAVE, COMP), DEXes (GRAIL, CRV), gaming (MAGIC)
  • Stablecoin Arbitrage: Multiple routes (USDC, USDT, DAI, USDC.e)

Competitive Advantage

  • Arbitrum-Native Tokens: RDNT, MAGIC, GRAIL (underutilized by competitors)
  • DeFi Protocols: Direct exposure to major lending and yield protocols
  • Multi-DEX Coverage: 6 protocols vs. typical 2-3

Expected Results (24-48 hours post-deployment)

  • 5-10x more arbitrage opportunities detected
  • Higher success rate on underutilized pairs
  • Diversified profit sources across token categories
  • Reduced dependency on WETH/USDC pairs

🚨 Known Limitations & Risks

Current Blockers

  1. RPC Access: 403 Forbidden error prevents testing
    • Impact: Cannot validate pool discovery
    • Mitigation: User must configure valid RPC endpoint
    • Timeline: Immediate once credentials provided

Technical Risks

  1. Discovery Timeout: 5-minute timeout may be insufficient

    • Probability: Low (estimated 2-5 minutes)
    • Mitigation: Increase timeout in main.go:287 if needed

  2. Rate Limiting: Free RPC endpoints may throttle

    • Probability: Medium on free endpoints
    • Mitigation: Use premium RPC provider

  3. Low Liquidity Pairs: Some pairs may have zero pools

    • Probability: High (expected 30-50 pairs with no pools)
    • Impact: Normal, logs show "No pools found for X/Y"
    • Mitigation: None needed, expected behavior

Operational Considerations

  • First Run: Discovery takes 2-5 minutes on first startup
  • Subsequent Runs: Pools loaded from cache (instant)
  • Cache Management: data/pools.json grows to ~250KB

📋 Deployment Checklist

Pre-Deployment
