Solana Arbitrage Bot

An open-source arbitrage bot built with Go, designed to identify and execute profitable trades on the Solana blockchain using the Jupiter API. The bot continuously monitors token prices, calculates arbitrage opportunities, and executes swaps when profitable conditions are met.

---

🚀 Features

• Continuous Arbitrage Monitoring: Tracks token price discrepancies between pairs to identify arbitrage opportunities.
• Automatic Swap Execution: Executes profitable swaps autonomously via Jupiter's API.
• Customizable Parameters: Easy to configure inputs like RPC endpoints, private keys, and token pairs.

---

🛠️ Prerequisites

• Go 1.23+
• A Solana wallet with private key access.
• RPC endpoint and WebSocket endpoint for Solana blockchain.
• Jupiter API access.

🔧 Installation & Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/fape-labs/arbitrage-bot.git
   cd arbitrage-bot
   

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy
   

3. Configure environment variables:

   • Replace your-rpc-endpoint, your-rpc-wss-endpoint, and your private key in the code with your actual values.

4. Build the project:

   go build

🔎 Usage

Run the Arbitrage Bot:

go run main.go

How It Works:

• The bot:
  1. Fetches quotes from the Jupiter API for token pairs (e.g., SOL -> USDC -> SOL).
  2. Calculates the profitability of potential trades.
  3. Executes swaps if a profitable opportunity is found.

📚 Configuration

Key Variables:

• RPC Endpoint: The Solana RPC endpoint to connect to.
• WebSocket Endpoint: The Solana WebSocket endpoint for real-time updates.
• Private Key: Your Solana wallet's private key (ensure secure handling).
• Input Token Amount: The amount of the initial token for arbitrage calculations.

---

💡 Notes & Best Practices

• Use Jito-Enabled RPC: For the best performance and faster transaction processing, use a Jito-enabled RPC endpoint.
• Self-Hosted Jupiter API: Host your own Jupiter Swap API for better reliability and customization. Refer to Jupiter's documentation for setup instructions.
