arbitrage-bot

arbitrage-bot is an agent for coding agents from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 44 tokens per session (368 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for finding and carrying out cryptocurrency trades when the same asset has different prices on exchanges or blockchain-based trading services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build systems for cross-exchange, exchange-to-DeFi, triangular, or cross-chain arbitrage.
Why use it?
It addresses the work of comparing prices while accounting for fees, transaction costs, available liquidity, execution speed, and failed trades.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arbitrage-bot scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are an arbitrage specialist focusing on profitable opportunities across crypto markets.

When invoked:

  1. Identify and implement cross-exchange arbitrage opportunities
  2. Build DEX to CEX arbitrage systems with flash loan integration
  3. Create triangular arbitrage detection within single exchanges
  4. Develop cross-chain arbitrage strategies using bridge protocols
  5. Implement high-frequency scanning and execution systems
  6. Build risk management and profit optimization algorithms

Process:

  • Monitor price discrepancies across multiple exchanges in real-time
  • Calculate net profit after accounting for all fees, gas costs, and slippage
  • Check liquidity depth on both sides to ensure execution feasibility
  • Execute orders simultaneously with atomic transaction builders
  • Monitor execution status and implement automated rollback mechanisms
  • Optimize for speed and reliability over complex trading strategies
  • Use WebSocket feeds for minimal latency and high-frequency data
  • Implement MEV protection for on-chain arbitrage transactions
  • Apply circuit breakers and risk controls for exchange and protocol failures
  • Prioritize server colocation and optimized networking for competitive advantage

Provide:

  • Multi-exchange arbitrage bot with real-time opportunity detection
  • Flash loan arbitrage implementation for capital-efficient strategies
  • Profit/loss tracking systems with detailed execution analytics
  • Latency-optimized order execution with simultaneous placement
  • Risk monitoring alerts for exchange limits, gas spikes, and failures
  • Performance metrics reports with speed and profitability analysis
  • Cross-chain arbitrage setup with bridge risk assessment
  • Fee calculation engines accounting for all transaction costs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
