This is a Python library developed to calculate and analyze arbitrage opportunities between decentralized exchanges of Ethereum blockchain network. Meanwhile, the library makes it easy to process the data of arbitrage opportunities that belong to different blocks in blockchain as long as the blocks are analyzed.
Library is available at PYthon Package Index.
pip install libarbitrageAttention: You must have an Infura APIKEY that works on Ethereum network in order for program to fetch latest blocks' data while analyzing.
For now, the number of available exchanges and tokens to use in analyzes are limited. They may be expanded in the upcoming releases.

Initializes an arbitrage analyze loop between specified tokens on specified exchanges.
APIKEY: Required. A string of valid Infura APIKEY which should be working on Ethereum main network.interactive: Required. The program outputs data if it's set toTrue; ifFalse, it doesn't. In both cases all the arbitrage data will be stored on an internal variable, which can be retrieved through the functiongetArbitrageData().exchanges: Optional. (default: all of the availables) A list of DEXes that program uses to get price datas of tokens.tokens: Optional. (default:all of the availables) A list of tokens whose price will be analyzed between exchanges during the operation.operation: Optional. (default:sell) A string of trading operation being done while getting price data. (Sell price/Buy price)min_revenue: Optional. (default:0) Minimum profit rate of a unit transaction in percentage.
Returns the results of arbitrage analyze as a dictionary having block numbers as keys and that block's arbitrage data (list) as value. See this for a real case. Here's the format:
{
block_number(int): [
{'blocknum': block_number(int), 'timestamp': block's_timestamp(int), 'dex1': dex_name(str), 'dex2': dex_name(str), 'sell_token': token_name(str), 'buy_token': token_name(str), 'revenue_per_1usd': (float), 'minimum_amount': min_amount_to_pay_txfee(float)},
{'blocknum': block_number(int), 'timestamp': block's_timestamp(int), 'dex1': dex_name(str), 'dex2': dex_name(str), 'sell_token': token_name(str), 'buy_token': token_name(str), 'revenue_per_1usd': (float), 'minimum_amount': min_amount_to_pay_txfee(float)}
]
.
.
.
}
Prints a whole block of arbitrage data in the form of a table.
liste: Required. A list of arbitrage datas (dict) which belong to the same block.
Because the program acts like a monitor, this mode is named "monitor" mode. It takes the min_revenue argument of interactively. Even if you specify a min_revenue value to the function, it will be overwritten by the interactively taken input.
An example initialization on interactive mode can be watched below.

Because all the program works on a seperated thread -hence we can work on the data further-, this mode is named "developer mode".
Begin by importing the LibArbitrage module:
>>> import libarbitrageSet variables to pass as arguments:
>>> APIKEY = 'YOUR_INFURA_APIKEY'
>>> tokens = ['eth', 'btc', 'ftt', 'aave', 'usdc', 'usdt'] # Tokens to analyze between
>>> revenue= 1.5 # Minimum amount of revenue in percentage per one USDT A single function startes and manages all the process of arbitrage analyze.
>>> libarbitrage.arbitrage(APIKEY=APIKEY, tokens=tokens, min_revenue=revenue)After a while (depending on the number of tokens specified), we are able to retrieve the result of arbitrage analyze respectively:
>>> arbitrage_data = libarbitrage.getArbitrageData()
>>> type(arbitrage_data)
<class 'dict'>The data dictionary is updated whenever the arbitrage analyze of a new block in blockchain is done.
>>> from time import sleep
>>> len(arbitrage_data)
2
>>> sleep(20)
>>> len(arbitrage_data)
3And now we can process or do whatever we want with it. Let's see which blocks are analyzed so far.
>>> print(arbitrage_data.keys())
dict_keys([15981551, 15981554, 15981558])
>>> arbitrage_data.get(15981558)
[{'blocknum': 15981558, 'timestamp': 1668589283, 'dex1': 'uniswap', 'dex2': 'sushiswap', 'sell_token': 'eth', 'buy_token': 'ftt', 'revenue_per_1usd': 0.022585200456361365, 'minimum_amount': 190.20624952552157}, {'blocknum': 15981558, 'timestamp': 1668589283, 'dex1': 'sushiswap', 'dex2': 'uniswap', 'sell_token': 'btc', 'buy_token': 'aave', 'revenue_per_1usd': 0.07117425741710715, 'minimum_amount': 60.356741741769994}, {'blocknum': 15981558, 'timestamp': 1668589283, 'dex1': 'uniswap', 'dex2': 'sushiswap', 'sell_token': 'usdc', 'buy_token': 'ftt', 'revenue_per_1usd': 0.44948651720318966, 'minimum_amount': 9.557230549019256}]Every single item in above list, is an arbitrage opportunity for that particular block. These opportunities are calculated and filtered by taking the parameters specified in the arbitrage() function into account.
We can also pretty print these data. Let's use the latest analyzed block's data for this. To do that we need to get the last key's value from the arbitrage_data dictionary:
>>> last_key = list(arbitrage_data)[-1]
>>> print(last_key)
15981558
>>> data = arbitrage_data.get(last_key)
>>> libarbitrage.printFormattedData(data)

├─────────┼────────────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼─────┼─────┼──────────────────────┼───────────────────┤Here in the table above, there're eight different types of data listed for one arbitrage opportunity in a particular block.
"BLOCK NUM": Is the number of block that has the arbitrage opportunity
"LOCAL TIMESTAMP": Is the locally formatted time corresponding to block timestamp
"DEX1": Is the first DEX used in arbitrage
"DEX2": Is the second DEX used in arbitrage
"SELL": First token used in arbitrage
"BUY": Second token used in arbitrage
"UNIT REVENUE": The revenue of arbitrage done with 1 USDT
"THRESOLD AMOUNT": The minimum amount of USDT to afford the transaction fees using the revenue comes from arbitrage
See pink colored analyzer threads on flowchart algorithm for more information.
LibArbitrage adopts an efficient multithread approach for calculating arbitrage opportunities. There're three main types of threads running simultaneously: "handler", "price_fetcher" and "analyzer".
All these three types of threads are generated at a same number, which is calculated depending on the number of specified tokens. Below formula indicates the total number of threads initialized at the beginning of the program. Some of them may terminate further, in case of any errors occured by decentralized exchange; for example liquidity errors.
P: Permutation
t: number of specified tokens
n: number of initialized threads
n = 2 * P(t, 2) * 3
| └→ Number of different thread types (excluding tx_fee_fetcher thread)
└→ Because threads are generated for both DEXes, multiply the number with two.
Below flowchart shows the working algorithm of LibArbitrage shallowly.
