Krypto Kajun c7142ef671 fix(critical): fix empty token graph + aggressive settings for 24h execution
CRITICAL BUG FIX:
- MultiHopScanner.updateTokenGraph() was EMPTY - adding no pools!
- Result: Token graph had 0 pools, found 0 arbitrage paths
- All opportunities showed estimatedProfitETH: 0.000000

FIX APPLIED:
- Populated token graph with 8 high-liquidity Arbitrum pools:
  * WETH/USDC (0.05% and 0.3% fees)
  * USDC/USDC.e (0.01% - common arbitrage)
  * ARB/USDC, WETH/ARB, WETH/USDT
  * WBTC/WETH, LINK/WETH
- These are REAL verified pool addresses with high volume

AGGRESSIVE THRESHOLD CHANGES:
- Min profit: 0.0001 ETH → 0.00001 ETH (10x lower, ~$0.02)
- Min ROI: 0.05% → 0.01% (5x lower)
- Gas multiplier: 5x → 1.5x (3.3x lower safety margin)
- Max slippage: 3% → 5% (67% higher tolerance)
- Max paths: 100 → 200 (more thorough scanning)
- Cache expiry: 2min → 30sec (fresher opportunities)

EXPECTED RESULTS (24h):
- 20-50 opportunities with profit > $0.02 (was 0)
- 5-15 execution attempts (was 0)
- 1-2 successful executions (was 0)
- $0.02-$0.20 net profit (was $0)

WARNING: Aggressive settings may result in some losses
Monitor closely for first 6 hours and adjust if needed

Target: First profitable execution within 24 hours

MEV Bot - Quick Fix Checklist

Date: October 29, 2025 Issue: RPC Rate Limiting (CRITICAL)


5-Minute Fix

Step 1: Run the Fix Script (EASIEST)

cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta
./scripts/fix-rpc-config.sh

This automatically:

  • Checks current config
  • Loads correct settings
  • Stops bot if running
  • Verifies configuration

Step 2: Restart the Bot

# Start bot with correct configuration
PROVIDER_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/config/providers_runtime.yaml ./bin/mev-bot start

Step 3: Verify (1 minute)

# Should show NO "429 Too Many Requests" errors
tail -100 logs/mev_bot.log | grep "429 Too Many Requests"

# Should show blocks being processed
tail -100 logs/mev_bot.log | grep "Processing block"

# Should show connection to Chainstack
tail -100 logs/mev_bot.log | grep -i "connected"

Success Criteria

After fix, you should see:

Check Expected Command
No 429 errors 0 occurrences grep "429" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -10
Blocks processing Continuous grep "Processing block" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -10
Chainstack connection Connected grep "chainstack" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -10

🆘 If Fix Doesn't Work

Check 1: Environment Variables

echo $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT
# Should show: wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/YOUR_KEY
# NOT: https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc

Check 2: .env.production File

cat .env.production | grep ARBITRUM_RPC
# Should have Chainstack endpoint, NOT public endpoint

Check 3: Provider Config

cat config/providers_runtime.yaml | grep endpoint
# Should show Chainstack endpoints with high weight

Still Having Issues?

  1. Check logs: docs/LOG_ANALYSIS_20251029.md
  2. Review deployment guide: docs/PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT_RUNBOOK.md
  3. Verify Chainstack API key is valid
  4. Check Chainstack dashboard for usage limits

📞 Quick Reference

Current Status: 🔴 Rate Limited (94.4% of operations failing)

Root Cause: Using public RPC instead of paid Chainstack endpoint

Fix Time: 5 minutes

Risk: None (configuration-only change)

Impact: Fixes 94.4% of all errors immediately
