How Flash Arbitrage Works
- Borrow Assets: Flash loan provides capital without collateral
- Execute Trade 1: Buy asset on DEX with lower price
- Execute Trade 2: Sell asset on DEX with higher price
- Repay Loan: Return borrowed amount plus fee
- Keep Profit: The price difference minus fees is your profit
Key Advantages on RISE Chain
- Millisecond Execution: Complete arbitrage before others can react
- Reduced Competition: Faster execution than traditional MEV bots
- Lower Risk: Instant confirmation reduces price movement risk
- Capital Efficient: No need to hold large amounts of capital
Smart Contract Example
contract FlashArbitrage {
function executeOperation(
address[] calldata assets,
uint256[] calldata amounts,
uint256[] calldata premiums,
address initiator,
bytes calldata params
) external returns (bool) {
// Decode DEX addresses
(address dex1, address dex2) = abi.decode(params, (address, address));
// Execute arbitrage
uint256 amountIn = amounts[0];
// Trade on DEX 1 (buy)
uint256 amountOut = buyOnDex(dex1, assets[0], amountIn);
// Trade on DEX 2 (sell)
uint256 finalAmount = sellOnDex(dex2, assets[0], amountOut);
// Calculate profit
uint256 totalDebt = amountIn + premiums[0];
require(finalAmount > totalDebt, "No profit");
// Approve and repay flash loan
IERC20(assets[0]).approve(msg.sender, totalDebt);
return true;
}
}
Risk Management
- Gas Optimization: Complex operations need efficient code
- Price Validation: Always check prices before execution
- Slippage Protection: Set maximum acceptable slippage
- Error Handling: Revert if arbitrage is not profitable
Next Steps
- Deploy your own arbitrage contract
- Monitor multiple DEX pairs
- Implement advanced routing strategies
- Add profit tracking and analytics
