Update on the FRP 24:
- We are now saving all mev txs to a newly added db
- We have managed to add a module that takes care of all the profit analysis (retrieving historical prices, computing the usd profit and running some other analysis)
- Improving on Marlin Protocol’s version that get the tx data from the logs rather than the traces works great for Polygon (200k+ blocks analysed)
- We have started running mev-inspect-py for Arbitrum but it is faster to go with the logs so that’s what we are doing
- We have a PoC for Optimism using the logs
- We have also been working on scaling, indeed, with 38M blocks for Polygon it is going to take quite some time to do the whole history. One thing is batching the number of requests, the other is to potentially run local nodes to reduce the latency of the requests. Ofc the hardware part helps as well, we should have some interesting benchmark to provide here in the coming weeks.
- One bottleneck is the RPC provider, we quickly hit limit rates unless we use Pocket Network but it is often down. I think we will implement a rotation of RPC providers.
As always, please feel free to have a look at what we do on the repo, the branches of interest are master-polygon, master-arbitrum and master-optimism. Don’t hesitate to give us feedback and ideas.
Thank you @0xEvan but I think they do not support none of the blockchains we are diving into here. Would be interesting to look at other chains though. Maybe a future FRP
