## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine for evaluating cross-chain arbitrage. It calculates spreads, net profits, and capital efficiency by accounting for messaging protocol fees, gas costs, and temporal price risks. Use `calculate_arbitrage_signals` to find viable trades, `evaluate_risk_exposure` to quantify volatility risk during message transit, and `compare_strategies` to decide between direct arbitrage or bridge-and-swap modes.

## Tools

### calculate_arbitrage_signals
Identifies profitable arbitrage opportunities based on current market data and protocol costs

### evaluate_risk_exposure
Quantifies the potential loss due to price volatility during the message transit period

### compare_strategies
Compares the efficiency of "direct" vs "bridge_swap" modes

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Find arbitrage opportunities between Ethereum and Arbitrum for a 100,000 USD position.
```

**Response:** 
```
The most profitable opportunity is between Ethereum and Arbitrum using LayerZero, with a spread of 2.1% and an estimated net profit of $1,850.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the risk of a trade if the message takes 5 minutes to deliver with a volatility factor of 0.02.
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected price deviation is 0.1% with an estimated loss of $200 for a $100,000 position.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I use direct arbitrage or bridge_swap for this market condition?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on current gas costs and messaging fees, bridge_swap is the more efficient mode due to significantly lower capital requirements.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I find profitable trades?**
You can use the `calculate_arbitrage_signals` tool to identify opportunities where the spread exceeds the combined costs of messaging, gas, and slippage.

**What is the difference between direct and bridge modes?**
Direct mode requires holding balances on both chains for instant execution, while bridge_swap moves assets via a bridge, requiring less initial capital but incurring higher latency.

**How is risk calculated?**
Risk is quantified using `evaluate_risk_exposure`, which calculates potential loss based on delivery time and historical price volatility.
