Example 3: Automated Arbitrage Bot

A sophisticated arbitrage bot that automatically detects and executes profitable opportunities across Saros pools and integrates with Jupiter for optimal routing.

Overview​

This example demonstrates:

  • Real-time arbitrage opportunity detection
  • Triangle arbitrage across multiple tokens
  • Integration with Jupiter for price comparison
  • Risk management with position sizing
  • Performance tracking and profit optimization
  • MEV protection strategies

  • Position size limits per trade
  • Confidence scoring based on market conditions
  • Gas cost analysis to ensure profitable execution
  • Unknown token filtering for safety

āœ… Performance Optimization​

  • Efficient opportunity scanning with parallel processing
  • Real-time profit calculation with slippage consideration
  • MEV protection through prioritized transactions
  • Intelligent execution timing to avoid front-running

āœ… Monitoring and Analytics​

  • Comprehensive trade tracking and performance metrics
  • Success rate monitoring and profit analysis
  • Gas efficiency tracking and optimization
  • Daily/weekly performance reporting

This arbitrage bot provides a production-ready foundation for automated trading on Saros Finance with integrated risk management and performance optimization!
