Miner Extractable Value (MEV)

Additional bot trading strategy

PreviousMomentumNextStrategy Integration and Portfolio Management

Last updated 1 year ago

In the context of the blockchain and particularly Ethereum, Miner Extractable Value (MEV) is the measure of profit a miner can make through their ability to arbitrarily include, exclude, or re-order transactions within the blocks they produce. Traders can take advantage of MEV by placing trades that provide miners with a higher profit for including their transaction first, thus ensuring that their trade is executed before others.

In the case of the Trading Services bot, it could use an MEV strategy to prioritize its trades in the following manner:

  • Identifying Profitable Trades: The bot identifies trades that are likely to be profitable based on its existing strategies (Crossover, Mean Reversion, and Momentum).

  • Calculating Gas Prices: The bot calculates the gas price that would make it profitable for miners to prioritize its transaction. This involves considering the potential profit from the trade, the current gas price, and the additional gas cost that would be necessary to incentivize miners.

  • Submitting the Transaction: The bot submits the transaction with the calculated gas price. If a miner includes the transaction in the next block, the trade is executed before others in the same block.

  • Managing Risks: MEV strategies carry certain risks, such as the possibility of overpaying for gas if the trade is not as profitable as expected. The bot manages these risks by setting a maximum gas price and regularly recalibrating its calculations based on current market conditions.

The MEV strategy is a sophisticated technique that can potentially increase the speed and profitability of trades. However, it also requires a deep understanding of blockchain dynamics and a careful balancing of costs and benefits.

With the inclusion of the MEV strategy, Gray Trading Service bot now operates on . The bots within the Gray Trading Service continuously evaluate market conditions and dynamically adjusts its allocations to these strategies.
