Setup

Install dependencies with Poetry:

poetry install

Copy .env.example to .env and configure:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration

Key configuration options:

DATABASE_URL: PostgreSQL connection string
REDIS_URL: Redis connection string (optional, for caching)
PROMETHEUS_PORT: Standalone metrics server port (default: 9090)
API_KEYS: Comma-separated API keys for authentication
LOG_LEVEL: Logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)

Set up PostgreSQL and Redis (using Docker):

docker-compose up -d postgres redis

Initialize the database schema:

from src.database import DatabaseManager
from src.config import Settings

settings = Settings()
db_manager = DatabaseManager(settings.database_url)
await db_manager.connect()
await db_manager.initialize_schema()

Transaction Analyzer

The transaction analyzer module provides accurate arbitrage detection with zero false positives:

Features

Swap Event Signature Filtering: Uses cryptographic event signatures (Web3.keccak) to identify only genuine Swap events, filtering out Transfer, Sync, Approval, and other event types
Multi-Hop Detection: Classifies transactions with 2+ swaps as arbitrage opportunities
DEX Router Validation: Verifies transactions target known DEX router addresses (PancakeSwap, QuickSwap, etc.)
Method Signature Recognition: Validates swap function calls including Uniswap V2/V3, Balancer, and fee-on-transfer token methods
Comprehensive Testing: Full test coverage for event signature calculation, swap counting, and arbitrage classification

Swap Event Detection

The analyzer calculates the Swap event signature using:

SWAP_EVENT_SIGNATURE = Web3.keccak(
    text="Swap(address,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,address)"
).hex()

This ensures only actual Swap events are counted by comparing the first topic (topics[0]) of each log entry against the expected signature. The test suite verifies:

Correct signature calculation (66 characters: 0x + 64 hex chars)
Accurate filtering of Swap events from mixed event logs
Single swap transactions are NOT classified as arbitrage
Multi-hop transactions (2+ swaps) ARE classified as arbitrage

Chain Connector Features

RPC Failover: Automatic failover to backup RPC endpoints on connection failures
Circuit Breaker: Prevents cascading failures with configurable thresholds (default: 5 failures, 60s timeout)
Connection Recovery: Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient errors
Multi-Chain Support: BSC and Polygon connectors with chain-specific DEX configurations
DEX Router Recognition: Built-in validation for known DEX router addresses

Supported DEXs

from decimal import Decimal
from datetime import datetime

# Initialize and connect
db = DatabaseManager("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
await db.connect()

# Save an opportunity
opportunity = Opportunity(
    chain_id=56,
    pool_name="WBNB-BUSD",
    pool_address="0x58F876857a02D6762E0101bb5C46A8c1ED44Dc16",

opportunity_id = await db.save_opportunity(opportunity)

# Query opportunities
opportunities = await db.get_opportunities(
    OpportunityFilters(chain_id=56, min_profit=Decimal("10000.0"))
)

Redis Caching Layer

The system includes a high-performance Redis caching layer to reduce database load and improve API response times:

Features

Opportunity Caching: Recent opportunities cached for fast retrieval (5-minute TTL)
Statistics Caching: Aggregated statistics cached to reduce computation (60-second TTL)
Leaderboard Caching: Arbitrageur leaderboards cached for quick access (5-minute TTL)
Pattern-Based Invalidation: Flexible cache invalidation using Redis key patterns
Graceful Degradation: System continues operating if Redis is unavailable
Automatic Serialization: Handles Decimal and datetime types automatically
TTL Management: Configurable time-to-live for each cache type

Performance Benefits

API Response Time: <50ms for cached data vs ~200ms from database
Database Load: Reduces database queries by 70-80% for frequently accessed data
Scalability: Supports high-traffic scenarios with minimal database impact

CacheManager

The CacheManager class provides a simple interface for caching operations:

from src.cache.manager import CacheManager
from src.database.models import Opportunity
from decimal import Decimal
from datetime import datetime

# Initialize cache manager
cache_manager = CacheManager("redis://localhost:6379/0")
await cache_manager.connect()

# Cache an opportunity
opportunity = Opportunity(
    id=1,
    chain_id=56,
    pool_name="WBNB-BUSD",
    pool_address="0x58F876857a02D6762E0101bb5C46A8c1ED44Dc16",
    imbalance_pct=Decimal("7.5"),
    profit_usd=Decimal("15000.50"),
    profit_native=Decimal("50.0"),
    reserve0=Decimal("1000000.0"),
    reserve1=Decimal("300000000.0"),
    block_number=12345678,
    detected_at=datetime.utcnow(),
)

# Cache with default TTL (300 seconds)
await cache_manager.cache_opportunity(opportunity)

# Cache with custom TTL
await cache_manager.cache_opportunity(opportunity, ttl=600)

# Retrieve cached opportunities
opportunities = await cache_manager.get_cached_opportunities(
    chain_id=56,
    limit=100
)

# Disconnect when done
await cache_manager.disconnect()

Caching Strategies

Opportunity Caching

Opportunities are cached individually and added to a sorted set for recent retrieval:

# Cache opportunity (stored for 5 minutes by default)
await cache_manager.cache_opportunity(opportunity, ttl=300)

# Retrieve recent opportunities for a chain
opportunities = await cache_manager.get_cached_opportunities(
    chain_id=56,
    limit=1000  # Returns up to 1000 most recent
)

Cache Keys:

Individual: opportunities:{chain_id}:{opportunity_id}
Recent list: opportunities:recent:{chain_id} (sorted set by timestamp)

Features:

Automatic addition to recent list (newest first)
List limited to 1000 most recent opportunities per chain
Older entries automatically removed when limit exceeded

Statistics Caching

Aggregated statistics are cached by chain and time period:

# Cache statistics (stored for 60 seconds by default)
stats = [
    {
        "chain_id": 56,
        "opportunities_detected": 100,
        "capture_rate": 80.0,
        "total_profit_usd": 150000.0,
    }
]

await cache_manager.cache_stats(
    chain_id=56,
    period="24h",
    stats=stats,
    ttl=60
)

# Retrieve cached statistics
cached_stats = await cache_manager.get_cached_stats(
    chain_id=56,
    period="24h"
)

Cache Keys:

stats:{chain_id}:{period}

Supported Periods:

1h: Last hour
24h: Last 24 hours
7d: Last 7 days
30d: Last 30 days

Arbitrageur Leaderboard Caching

Leaderboards are cached by chain and sort field:

# Cache leaderboard (stored for 5 minutes by default)
leaderboard = [
    {"address": "0xaddr1", "total_profit_usd": 50000.0},
    {"address": "0xaddr2", "total_profit_usd": 30000.0},
]

await cache_manager.cache_arbitrageur_leaderboard(
    chain_id=56,
    sort_by="total_profit_usd",
    leaderboard=leaderboard,
    ttl=300
)

# Retrieve cached leaderboard
cached_leaderboard = await cache_manager.get_cached_arbitrageur_leaderboard(
    chain_id=56,
    sort_by="total_profit_usd"
)

Cache Keys:

leaderboard:{chain_id}:{sort_by}

Supported Sort Fields:

total_profit_usd: By total profit
total_transactions: By transaction count
last_seen: By most recent activity
total_gas_spent_usd: By gas costs

Cache Invalidation

Invalidate cache entries using Redis key patterns:

# Invalidate all opportunities for a chain
deleted_count = await cache_manager.invalidate_cache("opportunities:56:*")

# Invalidate all statistics for a chain
deleted_count = await cache_manager.invalidate_cache("stats:56:*")

# Invalidate all leaderboards for a chain
deleted_count = await cache_manager.invalidate_cache("leaderboard:56:*")

# Invalidate all cache entries (use with caution)
deleted_count = await cache_manager.invalidate_cache("*")

# Invalidate specific opportunity
deleted_count = await cache_manager.invalidate_cache("opportunities:56:12345")

Common Invalidation Patterns:

opportunities:{chain_id}:* - All opportunities for a chain
opportunities:recent:{chain_id} - Recent opportunities list
stats:{chain_id}:* - All statistics for a chain
leaderboard:{chain_id}:* - All leaderboards for a chain
* - All cached data (nuclear option)

Integration with API

The cache manager integrates seamlessly with the REST API:

from src.api.app import create_app
from src.cache.manager import CacheManager
from src.database.manager import DatabaseManager
from src.config.models import Settings

# Initialize components
settings = Settings()
db_manager = DatabaseManager(settings.database_url)
cache_manager = CacheManager(settings.redis_url)

await db_manager.connect()
await cache_manager.connect()

# Create app with cache manager
app = create_app(settings, db_manager, cache_manager)

API endpoints automatically use cache when available:

# In opportunities endpoint
async def get_opportunities(...):
    # Try cache first
    if cache_manager:
        cached_data = await cache_manager.get_cached_opportunities(chain_id, limit)
        if cached_data:
            return cached_data
    
    # Fall back to database
    opportunities = await db_manager.get_opportunities(filters)
    
    # Cache results
    if cache_manager and should_cache:
        await cache_manager.cache_opportunity(opportunity)
    
    return opportunities

TTL Configuration

Default TTL values are optimized for different data types:

Cache Type	Default TTL	Rationale
Opportunities	300s (5 min)	Opportunities change frequently as they're captured
Statistics	60s (1 min)	Stats updated hourly but queried frequently
Leaderboards	300s (5 min)	Leaderboards relatively stable over short periods

Customize TTL based on your requirements:

# Short TTL for rapidly changing data
await cache_manager.cache_opportunity(opp, ttl=60)

# Long TTL for stable data
await cache_manager.cache_stats(stats, ttl=3600)

Error Handling

The cache manager handles errors gracefully:

# Operations without connection don't raise errors
manager = CacheManager("redis://localhost:6379")
# Don't connect

# These operations log warnings but don't fail
await manager.cache_opportunity(opp)  # Logs warning, continues
opportunities = await manager.get_cached_opportunities(56)  # Returns []
stats = await manager.get_cached_stats(56, "1h")  # Returns None

Error Scenarios:

Redis Unavailable: Operations log warnings, system continues with database
Connection Lost: Automatic reconnection on next operation
Serialization Errors: Logged and skipped, original data preserved
Invalid Keys: Returns None/empty list, doesn't crash

Data Serialization

The cache manager automatically handles complex Python types:

# Decimal values converted to float
profit = Decimal("15000.50")  # Cached as 15000.5

# Datetime values converted to ISO format
detected_at = datetime.utcnow()  # Cached as "2024-01-15T10:30:00.123456"

# Nested structures preserved
data = {
    "profit": Decimal("100.50"),
    "timestamp": datetime.utcnow(),
    "nested": {"value": Decimal("50.25")}
}
# All types handled automatically

Testing

The system includes comprehensive integration tests for Redis caching. These tests require a Redis instance.

Setting Up Test Redis

# Start Redis test instance with Docker
docker run --name redis-test \
    -p 6379:6379 \
    -d redis:7-alpine

print(f"Keyspace hits: {info['keyspace_hits']}")
print(f"Keyspace misses: {info['keyspace_misses']}")
print(f"Hit rate: {info['keyspace_hits'] / (info['keyspace_hits'] + info['keyspace_misses']) * 100:.2f}%")

# Get memory usage
memory_info = await cache_manager.client.info("memory")
print(f"Used memory: {memory_info['used_memory_human']}")
print(f"Peak memory: {memory_info['used_memory_peak_human']}")

# Get key count

sentinel = Sentinel([
    ('sentinel1', 26379),
    ('sentinel2', 26379),
    ('sentinel3', 26379)
], socket_timeout=0.1)

master = sentinel.master_for('mymaster', socket_timeout=0.1)
cache_manager = CacheManager(redis_client=master)

Profit Calculator

The profit calculator module provides comprehensive profit analysis for arbitrage transactions:

Features

Token Flow Extraction: Identifies input amount from first swap and output amount from last swap
Gross Profit Calculation: Computes profit as output_amount - input_amount in native tokens
Gas Cost Analysis: Calculates gas costs using gasUsed * effectiveGasPrice from transaction receipts
Net Profit Calculation: Determines actual profit after deducting gas costs
ROI Calculation: Computes return on investment as (net_profit / input_amount) * 100
USD Conversion: Converts all amounts to USD using configurable native token prices
Detailed Gas Metrics: Tracks gas used, gas price (wei and gwei), and costs in native token and USD

Data Classes

The module provides structured data classes for profit analysis:

@dataclass
class TokenFlow:
    """Token flow through swap sequence"""
    input_amount: int           # Input amount in wei
    output_amount: int          # Output amount in wei
    input_token_index: int      # 0 or 1 (which token in first pool)
    output_token_index: int     # 0 or 1 (which token in last pool)

@dataclass
class GasCost:
    """Gas cost information"""
    gas_used: int               # Total gas units consumed
    gas_price_wei: int          # Effective gas price in wei
    gas_price_gwei: Decimal     # Gas price in gwei (readable)
    gas_cost_native: Decimal    # Gas cost in native token (BNB/MATIC)
    gas_cost_usd: Decimal       # Gas cost in USD

@dataclass
class ProfitData:
    """Complete profit calculation"""
    gross_profit_native: Decimal    # Profit before gas costs
    gross_profit_usd: Decimal       # Gross profit in USD
    gas_cost: GasCost              # Detailed gas cost info
    net_profit_native: Decimal     # Profit after gas costs
    net_profit_usd: Decimal        # Net profit in USD
    roi_percentage: Decimal        # Return on investment %
    input_amount_native: Decimal   # Input amount in native token
    output_amount_native: Decimal  # Output amount in native token

Usage Example

from src.detectors.profit_calculator import ProfitCalculator
from src.detectors.transaction_analyzer import TransactionAnalyzer
from decimal import Decimal

# Initialize calculator with chain info and native token price
calculator = ProfitCalculator(
    chain_name="BSC",
    native_token_usd_price=Decimal("300.0")  # BNB price
)

# Parse swap events from transaction receipt
analyzer = TransactionAnalyzer("BSC", dex_routers)
swaps = analyzer.parse_swap_events(receipt)

# Calculate profit
profit_data = calculator.calculate_profit(swaps, receipt)

if profit_data:
    print(f"Gross Profit: ${profit_data.gross_profit_usd:.2f}")
    print(f"Gas Cost: ${profit_data.gas_cost.gas_cost_usd:.2f}")
    print(f"Net Profit: ${profit_data.net_profit_usd:.2f}")
    print(f"ROI: {profit_data.roi_percentage:.2f}%")
    print(f"Gas Price: {profit_data.gas_cost.gas_price_gwei:.2f} gwei")

Token Flow Extraction

The calculator analyzes swap sequences to determine token flow:

First Swap: Identifies input by finding non-zero amount0In or amount1In
Last Swap: Identifies output by finding non-zero amount0Out or amount1Out
Validation: Returns None if no valid input/output amounts found

This handles complex multi-hop arbitrage paths like:

2-hop: Token A → Token B → Token A
3-hop: Token A → Token B → Token C → Token A
4-hop: Token A → Token B → Token C → Token D → Token A

Profit Calculation Formula

gross_profit = output_amount - input_amount
gas_cost = gas_used × effective_gas_price
net_profit = gross_profit - gas_cost
roi = (net_profit / input_amount) × 100

All amounts are converted from wei (10^18) to native token units and then to USD using the configured native token price.

Logging

The calculator provides structured logging for debugging and monitoring:

token_flow_extracted: Logs input/output amounts and swap count
gas_cost_calculated: Logs gas metrics (used, price, costs)
profit_calculated: Logs complete profit analysis with ROI
extract_token_flow_empty_swaps: Warning for empty swap lists
extract_token_flow_no_input: Warning when no input amount found
extract_token_flow_no_output: Warning when no output amount found

Pool Scanner

The pool scanner module monitors liquidity pools in real-time to detect arbitrage opportunities through pool imbalances:

Features

CPMM Imbalance Detection: Uses Constant Product Market Maker formula (k = x × y) to identify pool imbalances
Real-time Reserve Monitoring: Queries pool reserves using getReserves() function on Uniswap V2-style pools
Profit Potential Calculation: Estimates profit after accounting for swap fees (default 0.3%)
Configurable Thresholds: Customizable imbalance threshold (default 5%) and scan intervals
Small Opportunity Classification: Tracks opportunities in the $10K-$100K range for small trader viability analysis
Automatic Persistence: Saves detected opportunities to database with full context
Async Scanning Loop: Non-blocking continuous monitoring with configurable intervals
Multi-Pool Support: Scans multiple pools per chain simultaneously

CPMM Imbalance Formula

The scanner uses the Constant Product Market Maker invariant to detect imbalances:

k = reserve0 × reserve1 (constant product)
optimal_reserve0 = optimal_reserve1 = √k
imbalance_pct = max(|reserve0 - optimal| / optimal, |reserve1 - optimal| / optimal) × 100
profit_potential = (imbalance_pct - swap_fee_pct) × reserve_size

When a pool's reserves deviate from the optimal balanced state, it creates an arbitrage opportunity. The scanner calculates:

Pool Invariant (k): Product of both reserves
Optimal Reserves: Square root of k (balanced state)
Imbalance Percentage: Maximum deviation from optimal state
Profit Potential: Excess imbalance after deducting swap fees

Data Classes

@dataclass
class PoolReserves:
    """Pool reserve data from getReserves() call"""
    pool_address: str
    pool_name: str
    reserve0: int              # Reserve amount for token0
    reserve1: int              # Reserve amount for token1
    block_timestamp: int       # Last update timestamp

@dataclass
class ImbalanceData:
    """Pool imbalance calculation results"""
    imbalance_pct: Decimal           # Imbalance percentage
    profit_potential_usd: Decimal    # Estimated profit in USD
    profit_potential_native: Decimal # Estimated profit in native token
    optimal_reserve0: Decimal        # Optimal reserve for token0
    optimal_reserve1: Decimal        # Optimal reserve for token1

Usage Example

from src.detectors.pool_scanner import PoolScanner
from src.chains import BSCConnector
from src.database import DatabaseManager
from src.config.models import ChainConfig
from decimal import Decimal

# Configure BSC with pools to monitor
config = ChainConfig(
    name="BSC",
    chain_id=56,
    rpc_urls=["https://bsc-dataseed.bnbchain.org"],
    block_time_seconds=3.0,
    native_token="BNB",

if reserves:
    print(f"Reserve0: {reserves.reserve0}")
    print(f"Reserve1: {reserves.reserve1}")
    print(f"Timestamp: {reserves.block_timestamp}")

Imbalance Calculation

Calculate imbalance for specific reserves:

imbalance_data = scanner.calculate_imbalance(
    reserve0=1000000000000000000000,  # 1000 tokens
    reserve1=300000000000000000000000, # 300000 tokens

small_opp_min_usd: Minimum profit for small opportunity classification (default $10,000)
small_opp_max_usd: Maximum profit for small opportunity classification (default $100,000)

Scan Intervals by Chain

Recommended scan intervals based on block times:

BSC: 3 seconds (matches ~3s block time)
Polygon: 2 seconds (matches ~2s block time)
Ethereum: 12 seconds (matches ~12s block time)

Small Opportunity Tracking

The scanner tracks opportunities in the $10K-$100K profit range to analyze viability for small traders:

# Check if an opportunity qualifies as "small"
is_small = scanner.is_small_opportunity(Decimal("50000"))  # Returns True

# Get count of small opportunities detected
small_count = scanner.get_small_opportunity_count()
print(f"Small opportunities detected: {small_count}")

This data is used by the StatsAggregator to calculate capture rates and competition levels specifically for small traders.

Logging

The scanner provides structured logging for monitoring:

pool_scanner_started: Scanner initialization with configuration (includes small opportunity range)
pool_reserves_fetched: Successful reserve query with amounts
opportunity_detected: Opportunity found with imbalance and profit details (includes is_small_opportunity flag)
pool_scanner_stopped: Scanner shutdown
pool_reserves_fetch_failed: Warning when reserve query fails
pool_reserves_zero: Warning when reserves are zero
failed_to_get_block_number: Error getting current block
failed_to_save_opportunity: Error persisting to database
pool_scan_error: General scanning error

Error Handling

The scanner handles errors gracefully:

RPC Failures: Logs warning and continues to next pool
Zero Reserves: Skips calculation and logs warning
Database Errors: Logs error but continues scanning
Block Number Errors: Returns empty opportunities list

The background scanning loop continues running even if individual scans fail, ensuring continuous monitoring.

Integration with Database

When a database manager is provided, opportunities are automatically persisted:

# Opportunity saved to database includes:
opportunity = Opportunity(
    chain_id=56,
    pool_name="WBNB-BUSD",
    pool_address="0x58F876857a02D6762E0101bb5C46A8c1ED44Dc16",
    imbalance_pct=Decimal("7.5"),
    profit_usd=Decimal("15000.50"),
    profit_native=Decimal("50.0"),
    reserve0=Decimal("1000000.0"),
    reserve1=Decimal("300000000.0"),
    block_number=12345678,
    detected_at=datetime.utcnow(),
    captured=False,  # Not yet captured by arbitrageur
)

Performance Considerations

Async Operations: All RPC calls are async for non-blocking execution
Batch Scanning: Scans all pools in parallel within each interval
Configurable Intervals: Adjust scan frequency based on chain block time
Selective Persistence: Only saves opportunities exceeding threshold
Connection Pooling: Leverages chain connector's RPC connection management

Chain Monitor

The chain monitor module orchestrates the complete blockchain monitoring pipeline, from block detection to transaction analysis and data persistence:

Features

Real-time Block Monitoring: Polls for new blocks every 1 second
Transaction Filtering: Filters transactions targeting known DEX routers
Arbitrage Detection: Analyzes transactions using TransactionAnalyzer
Profit Calculation: Calculates profit metrics using ProfitCalculator
Data Persistence: Saves arbitrage transactions to database
Arbitrageur Tracking: Updates arbitrageur profiles with transaction data
Graceful Error Handling: Continues monitoring despite RPC or parsing errors
Async Task Management: Non-blocking operation with proper shutdown handling

Architecture

The ChainMonitor orchestrates multiple components:

ChainConnector: Blockchain RPC interaction with failover
TransactionAnalyzer: Swap event detection and arbitrage classification
ProfitCalculator: Profit and gas cost calculations
DatabaseManager: Data persistence and querying

Usage Example

from src.monitors.chain_monitor import ChainMonitor
from src.chains import BSCConnector
from src.detectors import TransactionAnalyzer, ProfitCalculator
from src.database import DatabaseManager
from src.config.models import ChainConfig
from decimal import Decimal

# Configure BSC
config = ChainConfig(
    name="BSC",
    chain_id=56,
    rpc_urls=[
        "https://bsc-dataseed.bnbchain.org",
        "https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org",
    ],
    block_time_seconds=3.0,
    native_token="BNB",
    native_token_usd=Decimal("300.0"),
    dex_routers={
        "PancakeSwap V2": "0x10ED43C718714eb63d5aA57B78B54704E256024E",
        "PancakeSwap V3": "0x13f4EA83D0bd40E75C8222255bc855a974568Dd4",
    },
    pools={
        "WBNB-BUSD": "0x58F876857a02D6762E0101bb5C46A8c1ED44Dc16",
    },
)

# Initialize components
connector = BSCConnector(config)
analyzer = TransactionAnalyzer("BSC", config.dex_routers)
calculator = ProfitCalculator("BSC", config.native_token_usd)
db_manager = DatabaseManager("postgresql://...")
await db_manager.connect()

# Create chain monitor
monitor = ChainMonitor(
    chain_connector=connector,
    transaction_analyzer=analyzer,
    profit_calculator=calculator,
    database_manager=db_manager,
)

# Start monitoring
await monitor.start()

# Monitor runs in background, detecting and persisting arbitrage transactions...

# Stop monitoring when done
await monitor.stop()

Processing Pipeline

For each new block, the monitor:

Fetches Block Data: Gets full block with all transactions
Filters Transactions: Keeps only transactions to DEX routers
Gets Receipt: Fetches transaction receipt for event logs
Detects Arbitrage: Uses TransactionAnalyzer to check if transaction is arbitrage
Parses Swaps: Extracts swap events from transaction logs
Calculates Profit: Computes gross/net profit, gas costs, and ROI
Persists Data: Saves ArbitrageTransaction to database
Updates Profile: Updates arbitrageur statistics

Transaction Data

Detected arbitrage transactions include:

ArbitrageTransaction(
    chain_id=56,
    tx_hash="0x123...",
    from_address="0xabc...",
    block_number=12345678,
    block_timestamp=datetime(...),
    gas_price_gwei=Decimal("5.0"),
    gas_used=150000,
    gas_cost_native=Decimal("0.00075"),
    gas_cost_usd=Decimal("0.225"),
    swap_count=3,
    strategy="3-hop",
    profit_gross_usd=Decimal("30.0"),
    profit_net_usd=Decimal("29.775"),
    pools_involved=["0x58F...", "0x16b..."],
    tokens_involved=[],
    detected_at=datetime.utcnow(),
)

Strategy Classification

Transactions are classified by hop count:

2-hop: Token A → Token B → Token A
3-hop: Token A → Token B → Token C → Token A
4-hop: Token A → Token B → Token C → Token D → Token A
N-hop: For transactions with more than 4 swaps

Logging

The monitor provides comprehensive structured logging:

chain_monitor_started: Monitor initialization
chain_monitor_loop_started: Monitoring loop begins
chain_monitor_initialized: First block sync point set
new_blocks_detected: New blocks available for processing
processing_block: Block processing started
block_processed: Block processing completed
arbitrage_transaction_processed: Arbitrage transaction detected and saved
arbitrage_insufficient_swap_events: Warning when swap count is invalid
transaction_processing_error: Error processing specific transaction
block_processing_error: Error processing entire block
chain_monitor_loop_error: Error in main monitoring loop
chain_monitor_stopped: Monitor shutdown
chain_monitor_loop_cancelled: Monitoring loop cancelled
chain_monitor_loop_exited: Monitoring loop exited

Error Handling

The monitor handles errors at multiple levels:

RPC Errors: Automatic failover via ChainConnector
Transaction Errors: Logs error and continues to next transaction
Block Errors: Logs error and continues to next block
Loop Errors: Logs error and continues monitoring after 1 second delay

This ensures continuous monitoring even when individual operations fail.

Graceful Shutdown

The monitor supports graceful shutdown:

# Stop monitoring
await monitor.stop()

# This will:
# 1. Set _running flag to False
# 2. Cancel the monitoring task
# 3. Wait for task cancellation
# 4. Log shutdown events

Performance Characteristics

Poll Interval: 1 second (configurable via sleep duration)
Block Processing: Sequential to maintain order
Transaction Processing: Sequential within each block
Non-blocking: All I/O operations are async
Memory Efficient: Processes one block at a time
Fault Tolerant: Continues despite individual failures

Integration with Other Components

The ChainMonitor integrates seamlessly with:

ChainConnector: RPC interaction with automatic failover
TransactionAnalyzer: Accurate arbitrage detection with zero false positives
ProfitCalculator: Complete profit analysis with gas costs
DatabaseManager: Persistent storage with connection pooling
PoolScanner: Can run in parallel for opportunity detection

Small Trader Viability Analysis

The system includes comprehensive analysis tools to assess market viability for small traders with limited capital:

Features

Small Opportunity Classification: Automatically classifies opportunities in the $10K-$100K profit range
Capture Rate Tracking: Calculates both overall and small-opportunity-specific capture rates
Competition Analysis: Tracks unique arbitrageurs per hour and competition levels
Statistical Aggregation: Hourly aggregation of viability metrics stored in chain_stats table

StatsAggregator

The StatsAggregator service runs hourly to populate the chain_stats table with comprehensive metrics:

from src.analytics.stats_aggregator import StatsAggregator
from src.database import DatabaseManager

# Initialize components
db_manager = DatabaseManager("postgresql://...")
await db_manager.connect()

# Create stats aggregator
aggregator = StatsAggregator(
    database_manager=db_manager,
    aggregation_interval_seconds=3600.0,  # 1 hour
    small_opp_min_usd=10000.0,            # $10K minimum
    small_opp_max_usd=100000.0,           # $100K maximum
)

# Start hourly aggregation
await aggregator.start()

# Aggregator runs in background, calculating:
# - Overall capture rate: (captured / detected) * 100
# - Small opportunity capture rate (separate)
# - Average competition level: unique arbitrageurs / opportunities
# - Profit distribution: min, max, avg, median, p95

# Stop aggregation when done
await aggregator.stop()

Viability Metrics

The system tracks the following metrics for small trader analysis:

Small Opportunity Count: Number of opportunities with profit between $10K-$100K
Small Opportunity Capture Rate: Percentage of small opportunities successfully captured
Unique Small Opportunity Arbitrageurs: Number of distinct addresses capturing small opportunities
Average Competition Level: Ratio of arbitrageurs to opportunities (lower is better for small traders)
Profit Distribution: Statistical breakdown of profit amounts (min, max, avg, median, p95)

Usage Example

# Query viability metrics from chain_stats table
async with db_manager.pool.acquire() as conn:
    stats = await conn.fetch(
        """
        SELECT 
            hour_timestamp,
            opportunities_detected,
            opportunities_captured,
            capture_rate,
            small_opportunities_count,

Interpreting Results

Favorable Conditions for Small Traders:

High small opportunity capture rate (>70%)
Low competition level (<0.2 arbitrageurs per opportunity)
Consistent availability of small opportunities
Reasonable profit margins after gas costs

Unfavorable Conditions for Small Traders:

Low small opportunity capture rate (<40%)
High competition level (>0.5 arbitrageurs per opportunity)
Most opportunities captured by established arbitrageurs
Thin profit margins due to gas costs

Testing

Comprehensive test coverage for viability analysis:

# Run viability analysis tests
poetry run pytest tests/test_viability_analysis.py -v

Test coverage includes:

Small opportunity classification (Requirement 11.1)
Small opportunity count tracking (Requirement 11.2)
Capture rate calculation (Requirement 11.4)
Small opportunity capture rate (Requirement 11.3, 11.4)
Competition level tracking (Requirement 11.5, 11.6)
Unique arbitrageur tracking for small opportunities
Integration tests with realistic scenarios
Edge cases (no opportunities, no captures, high/low competition)

from slowapi.util import get_remote_address

limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)

@app.get("/api/v1/opportunities")
@limiter.limit("100/minute")
async def get_opportunities(...):
    ...

API Testing

The system includes comprehensive integration tests for all API endpoints. These tests require a PostgreSQL test database.

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_get_opportunities_filter_by_profit(client, db_manager):
    # Create test opportunities
    for profit in [5000, 15000, 25000]:
        opp = Opportunity(
            chain_id=56,
            profit_usd=Decimal(str(profit)),
            # ... other fields
        )
        await db_manager.save_opportunity(opp)
    
    # Query with min_profit filter
    response = client.get(
        "/api/v1/opportunities?min_profit=20000",
        headers={"X-API-Key": "test-key"}
    )
    
    assert response.status_code == 200

Connection Management

Connection Limits:

Maximum 100 concurrent connections (configurable)
Connections rejected when at capacity with code 1008

Heartbeat:

Server sends heartbeat every 30 seconds
Clients should respond to maintain connection
Idle connections may be closed

Graceful Disconnection:

Clients should send close frame before disconnecting
Server cleans up subscriptions automatically
Reconnection supported with exponential backoff

Integration with Monitors

The WebSocket manager integrates with ChainMonitor and PoolScanner to broadcast updates:

from src.api.websocket import ws_manager
from src.monitors.chain_monitor import ChainMonitor
from src.detectors.pool_scanner import PoolScanner

# Start WebSocket background tasks
await ws_manager.start_background_tasks()

# Create chain monitor with broadcast callback
async def broadcast_transaction(tx_data):
    await ws_manager.broadcast_transaction(tx_data)

monitor = ChainMonitor(
    chain_connector=connector,
    transaction_analyzer=analyzer,
    profit_calculator=calculator,
    database_manager=db_manager,
    broadcast_callback=broadcast_transaction,
)

# Create pool scanner with broadcast callback
async def broadcast_opportunity(opp_data):
    await ws_manager.broadcast_opportunity(opp_data)

scanner = PoolScanner(
    chain_connector=connector,
    config=config,
    database_manager=db_manager,
    broadcast_callback=broadcast_opportunity,
)

# Start monitoring
await monitor.start()
await scanner.start()

Testing WebSocket

The system includes comprehensive integration tests for WebSocket functionality. These tests verify connection handling, subscription management, message broadcasting, and filtering.

Selective delivery based on filters
Only matching subscriptions receive messages

Error Handling:

Invalid JSON message handling
Unknown message type handling
Missing required parameters
Graceful error responses

Manager Tests:

Test Fixtures

The test suite uses pytest fixtures:

ws_manager: WebSocket manager instance
app_with_websocket: FastAPI app with WebSocket endpoint
Mock WebSocket connections for unit testing

Example Test Usage

def test_subscribe_to_opportunities_channel(app_with_websocket):
    """Test subscribing to opportunities channel"""
    client = TestClient(app_with_websocket)
    
    with client.websocket_connect("/ws/v1/stream") as websocket:
        # Receive welcome message
        websocket.receive_json()
        
        # Subscribe to opportunities
        subscribe_msg = {
            "type": "subscribe",
            "channel": "opportunities",
            "filters": {
                "chain_id": 56,
                "min_profit": 1000.0,
            }
        }
        websocket.send_json(subscribe_msg)
        
        # Receive subscription confirmation
        response = websocket.receive_json()
        assert response["type"] == "subscribed"
        assert response["channel"] == "opportunities"

Manual Testing

Test the WebSocket connection using the provided example client:

# Run the example WebSocket client
python examples/websocket_client.py

The example client demonstrates:

Connecting to WebSocket endpoint
Subscribing to opportunities and transactions
Handling different message types
Automatic reconnection on disconnect
Graceful shutdown

Performance Considerations

Message Queuing:

Opportunities and transactions queued for broadcasting
Async processing prevents blocking
Queue size unlimited (monitor memory usage)

Filtering:

Filters applied before broadcasting
Only matching connections receive messages
Reduces network traffic and client processing

Connection Pooling:

Each connection maintains its own subscriptions
Efficient message routing to subscribed clients
Minimal overhead per connection

Scalability:

Single server supports 100 concurrent connections
For higher scale, use load balancer with sticky sessions
Consider Redis pub/sub for multi-server deployments

Production Deployment

For production WebSocket deployments:

Nginx Configuration:

upstream websocket_backend {
    server localhost:8000;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;

Monitoring & Metrics

The system includes comprehensive Prometheus metrics for monitoring system health, performance, and business metrics across all components.

Overview

The metrics system provides two deployment options:

Integrated Endpoint (Default): Metrics available at /metrics on the main API server (port 8000)
Standalone Server (Recommended for Production): Dedicated metrics server on a separate port (default: 9090)

The standalone server is automatically started by main.py and can be configured via the PROMETHEUS_PORT environment variable.

Features

Chain Health Metrics: RPC latency, error rates, blocks behind
Detection Performance: Opportunities and transactions detected, detection latency
Database Performance: Query latency, connection pool utilization, error rates
API Performance: Request rates, latency percentiles, error rates
WebSocket Metrics: Active connections, messages sent
Business Metrics: Total profit detected, active arbitrageurs, small opportunity percentage
Flexible Deployment: Choose between integrated or standalone metrics server

Metrics Endpoint

The system provides two ways to expose Prometheus metrics:

1. Integrated with FastAPI (Default)

The /metrics endpoint is automatically available on the main API server:

# Access metrics endpoint (no authentication required)
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics

2. Standalone Metrics Server

For production deployments, you can run a dedicated metrics server on a separate port:

from src.monitoring.metrics import start_metrics_server

# Start standalone metrics server on port 9090
start_metrics_server(port=9090)

# Metrics available at http://localhost:9090/metrics

This approach is recommended for:

Security: Isolate metrics from public API
Performance: Separate metrics scraping from API traffic
Monitoring: Dedicated port for Prometheus scraping

Response format:

# HELP chain_blocks_behind Number of blocks behind the latest block
# TYPE chain_blocks_behind gauge
chain_blocks_behind{chain="BSC"} 2.0
chain_blocks_behind{chain="Polygon"} 1.0

Prometheus Configuration

Scraping Integrated Metrics Endpoint

Add the following to your prometheus.yml to scrape from the main API server:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'arbitrage-monitor'
    scrape_interval: 15s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'

Scraping Standalone Metrics Server

For production deployments using the standalone metrics server:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'arbitrage-monitor-metrics'
    scrape_interval: 15s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']
    # Default path is /metrics, no need to specify

Multi-Target Configuration

You can scrape both endpoints for redundancy:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'arbitrage-monitor-api'
    scrape_interval: 15s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'
    
  - job_name: 'arbitrage-monitor-dedicated'
    scrape_interval: 15s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']

Pool Scanner: Automatically records opportunity detection metrics
Database Manager: Automatically tracks query latency and connection pool metrics
Chain Connector: Automatically monitors RPC latency and error rates
API Middleware: Automatically tracks all API requests, latency, and errors
WebSocket Server: Automatically tracks active connections and messages sent

Testing Metrics

Run the verification script to test metrics:

python3 verify_metrics.py

The script tests:

Metrics initialization
Metrics recording
Metrics export in Prometheus format
Integration with all components

Production Setup

For production monitoring:

Start standalone metrics server (recommended):

from src.monitoring.metrics import start_metrics_server

# Start metrics server on dedicated port
start_metrics_server(port=9090)

Set up Prometheus server to scrape the metrics endpoint:
- Use port 9090 for standalone metrics server
- Or use port 8000 with /metrics path for integrated endpoint
Configure alerting rules in Prometheus for critical conditions
Create Grafana dashboards for visualization
Set up alert notifications (PagerDuty, Slack, email)
Document operational runbooks for common alerts

Environment Configuration

Configure the metrics server port in your .env file:

# Monitoring Configuration
PROMETHEUS_PORT=9090  # Standalone metrics server port (default: 9090)
LOG_LEVEL=INFO

The main application (main.py) automatically starts the standalone metrics server on the configured port.

Example Production Deployment

import asyncio
from src.monitoring.metrics import start_metrics_server
from src.api.app import create_app
from src.config.models import Settings
from src.database.manager import DatabaseManager
from src.cache.manager import CacheManager

async def main():
    # Initialize settings (reads PROMETHEUS_PORT from environment)
    settings = Settings()
    
    # Start standalone metrics server on configured port
    start_metrics_server(port=settings.prometheus_port)
    print(f"Metrics server started on port {settings.prometheus_port}")
    
    # Initialize database and cache
    db_manager = DatabaseManager(settings.database_url)
    cache_manager = CacheManager(settings.redis_url)
    
    await db_manager.connect()
    await cache_manager.connect()
    
    # Create FastAPI app (metrics also available at /metrics)
    app = create_app(settings, db_manager, cache_manager)
    
    # Run with uvicorn
    import uvicorn
    config = uvicorn.Config(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
    server = uvicorn.Server(config)
    await server.serve()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Docker Compose Configuration

version: '3.8'

services:
  arbitrage-monitor:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"  # API server
      - "9090:9090"  # Metrics server
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@postgres:5432/arbitrage
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
  
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus:latest
    ports:
      - "9091:9090"
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
    command:
      - '--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml'
  
  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana:latest
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:

Performance Impact

The metrics implementation has minimal performance impact:

Counters: O(1) increment operations
Gauges: O(1) set operations
Histograms: O(1) observe operations with pre-allocated buckets
Memory: ~1-2MB for all metrics
CPU: <0.1% overhead for typical workloads
