This repository is a fork of the Flashbots simple arbitrage bot. It builds on top of their work by adding a flashloan capability, which lets anyone try to capture arbitrage opportunities regardless of how much ETH they have.
Note that the added gas cost of using a flashloan will make it difficult to capture arbitrage opportunities you might find. Also be mindful that several people are currently running this bot, and it is unlikely to be profitable for you to do so.
Lastly, this fork is still using Flashbot's old API authentication, which is likely to be deprecated soon and which I think you can no longer get keys for. Searchers may need to upgrade to the new authentication method, and they can refer to the main repository for a reference.
- ETHEREUM_RPC_URL - Ethereum RPC endpoint. Can not be the same as FLASHBOTS_RPC_URL
- PRIVATE_KEY - Private key for the Ethereum EOA that will be submitting Flashbots Ethereum transactions
- BUNDLE_EXECUTOR_ADDRESS - The address for the BundledExecutor.sol that you have deployed (see "Usage" below for details).
- FLASHBOTS_KEY_ID / FLASHBOTS_SECRET - Flashbots submissions requires an API key. Apply for an API key here
- HEALTHCHECK_URL [Optional] - Health check URL, hit only after successfully submitting a bundle.
- MINER_REWARD_PERCENTAGE [Optional, default 80] - 0 -> 100, what percentage of overall profitability to send to miner.
- Generate a new bot wallet address and extract the private key into a raw 32-byte format.
- Deploy the included BundleExecutor.sol to Ethereum, from a secured account, with the address of the newly created wallet as the constructor argument
- Transfer WETH to the newly deployed BundleExecutor
It is important to keep both the bot wallet private key and bundleExecutor owner private key secure. The bot wallet attempts to not lose WETH inside an arbitrage, but a malicious user would be able to drain the contract.
