Cross-Exchange Arbitrage Integration Plan

Overview

This document outlines the implementation plan for identifying and executing cross-exchange arbitrage opportunities in the MEV bot. This involves finding price differences between exchanges for the same asset pair and executing profitable trades.

Core Components

Opportunity Detection

  • Real-time price monitoring across exchanges
  • Latency-optimized price feeds
  • Cross-exchange comparison algorithms
  • Profit calculation considering gas costs

Supported Arbitrage Types

  • Direct arbitrage (A→B on exchange 1, B→A on exchange 2)
  • Triangle arbitrage (A→B→C→A across multiple exchanges)
  • Multi-hop arbitrage (complex routing across multiple exchanges)
  • Cross-chain arbitrage (same token on different chains)

Execution Strategies

  • Atomic arbitrage (single transaction)
  • Multi-transaction arbitrage
  • Sandwich-resistant arbitrage
  • Gas-optimized execution

Implementation Steps

  1. Create Arbitrage struct for opportunity detection and execution
  2. Implement real-time price monitoring across exchanges
  3. Develop latency-optimized price comparison functions
  4. Add gas cost estimation for arbitrage transactions
  5. Implement atomic arbitrage execution
  6. Create multi-transaction arbitrage strategies
  7. Add protection against frontrunning
  8. Implement risk management functions

Pricing and Profitability

Cross-Exchange Price Comparison

  • Real-time price feeds from all supported exchanges
  • Price normalization across different exchange types
  • Time-adjusted pricing for fast-moving markets
  • Slippage estimation for trade execution

Profit Calculation

  • Calculate potential profit before gas costs
  • Factor in gas costs for the arbitrage transaction
  • Account for execution uncertainty
  • Consider minimum profitability thresholds

Risk Management

  • Slippage protection for large trades
  • Volume consideration based on pool liquidity
  • Market volatility adjustment
  • Maximum trade size limits

Testing Plan

  1. Historical backtesting of arbitrage opportunities
  2. Simulation of arbitrage execution
  3. Gas cost estimation accuracy testing
  4. Front-running resistance testing
  5. Risk management function verification
  6. Edge case testing (volatile markets, low liquidity)
  7. Performance testing under high-frequency conditions
  8. Accuracy of profit calculation

Performance Considerations

  • Extremely low-latency price monitoring
  • Optimized comparison algorithms
  • Efficient gas estimation
  • Fast transaction construction
  • Minimal external calls during opportunity evaluation
  • Caching of exchange state where possible

Security Considerations

  • Proper validation of opportunity parameters
  • Slippage protection implementation
  • Gas price monitoring and adjustment
  • Protection against invalid opportunity signals
  • Validation of exchange state before execution

Integration with MEV Bot

  • Coordinate with individual exchange modules
  • Integrate with transaction submission system
  • Include in overall profitability evaluation
  • Consider network congestion in execution timing
  • Track performance and frequency of successful arbitrages
  • Optimize for different market conditions
